Review and critique:

In this book of his, Warren Smith exposes the roots and evolution of the New Age movement and its infiltration into secular society He also shows how the movement constantly redefines familiar Christian terminology such that it could appear Christian at times. In the final few chapters, Smith sounds out a warning to the Church of our Lord Jesus Christ to take note of this deception, that is also slowly creeping into the churches. Besides the apathy noted by Smith in the churches against the New Age movement, certain church leaders are even using similar 'New-Age like' phrases and terminology in their speech and writing. Here are the chapters of the book:

Endnotes
Biography

Smith has provided ample evidences to support his main thesis, showing the intrusion of foreign philosophies and false religions into the church. This warning to the churches is very much needed, and Smith has shown clearly the falsehoods of the New Age deception from the truths of the Gospel in his book..
