(short) Book Review: A book that may be of some interest....

Jesus taught his disciples that in the last days, a time of mass delusion will come upon the earth. He said:
Likewise, Paul spoke of this time when he said:
If we look at what is happening in the world today, the only logical conclusion is that we have
already entered into that period of history. The
world is going through a mystical paradigm shift where an increasingly high
number of people are engaging in occultic mystical practices which are leading
them into a New Age all-paths-lead-to-God kind of mentality.This is not only happening in the world, but it is happening in the church as
well. It is shocking to see that doctrines and values formerly held sacred are
now being discarded. Many Christian leaders today have replaced the reading and
study of Scripture with having spiritual experiences or what Jesus referred to
above as signs and wonders. In effect, multitudes of Christians are being led to
believe that if they can have some type of spiritual experience or witness a
miracle, that will bear more validity than the words of Scripture itself.
What we have now generated is a delusion so great that if one has an “experience” that contradicts the Bible, one will hold the experience as valid and not the Bible because the experience is seen as tangible and therefore more real.
In the case of the Catholic Church, there are strange manifestations that inevitably glorify man, and those who perform such wonders bear a message that requires redemption through human performance as opposed to grace by faith alone.
Yet, for many people today (including many Christians), if a strange, paranormal manifestation occurs, that is evidence enough that it must be from God without any recognition or acknowledgment that dark supernatural forces can do these things. For example, the manifestations of holy laughter, “slaying in the Spirit,” jerkings, convulsions, twisting, contortions, and animal-like behaviors have all been witnessed under the “ministering” of eastern gurus who draw on kundalini energy (serpent power) to do their work.

Lighthouse Trails Booklet Tract 10 pages
Jesus taught his disciples that in the last days, a time of mass delusion will come upon the earth. He said:
For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall show signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect. But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things. (Mark 13:22-23; emphasis added)
Likewise, Paul spoke of this time when he said:
Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils. (1 Timothy 4:1)
