The "Law" of Attraction: is it real? Is it biblical? Is it just another way to practice Christianity? Spiritual formation speaker Ed Gungor critiques this element of the massively popular modern iteration of New Thought found in the book and video The Secret while not concerning himself with its occult underpinnings. But instead of dismantling the philosophy behind the Law of Attraction, Gungor attempts to bring it into line with the Bible, equating the techniques with meditation and visualization. Injecting Christianity into the model to produce an amalgam and altering the focus toward Christ-centered goals, the author proposes and blazes a middle ground for understanding this worldview.

Publisher's Description
Is it possible to believe in both God and the law of attraction?
Isn't this all just some New Age, "power of the mind" thing?
If the law of attraction works, why isn't it in the Bible or is it?
Questions like these are being asked by people around the world after reading the best-selling book, The Secret. According to the law of attraction, you can have virtually anything desired if your mind is trained to put out continual thoughts to attract it into your life.
In this deeply compelling work, Ed Gungor seeks to establish a more complete and accurate representation of the power of the mind by explaining the role that God plays in the equation. This book is not written to attack but rather to examine what the author believes is misguided advice while still speaking to the heart-felt need that is causing so many to explore this ancient practice. Some of his views may surprise you. There is more to the story that must be told.
