--Did Jesus really live?
--How do we know?
--Is there credible evidence for Jesus’ existence outside the pages of the New Testament?
--If Jesus was God, why did He not just plainly say, “I am God”?
--Did Jesus rise from dead? If so, what evidence is there?
--Couldn't the disciples have just stolen Jesus body?
--How can Jesus claim to be the only way to God?

Have you heard of the book, THE SECRET? If not, you will. THE SECRET, by Rhonda Byrne, remains the number one selling book on the New York Times Best Seller list. Oprah Winfrey and Larry King have dedicated entire programs to it and millions of Americans are reading the book.

If it may be of help to you in your witnessing efforts to a family member or friend who has read the book, you can click here to read it. In the study I outline ten problems with the book. They are:

1. The Secret teaches that the universe is God.

2. The Secret makes people out to be God.

3. The Secret denies the existence of any objective (real) moral absolutes.

4. The Secret denies a coming Day of Judgment.

5. The Secret encourages a self-centered, self-governed life.

6. The Secret removes any need to be thankful to God.

7. The Secret distorts the facts about Jesus.

8. The Secret distorts Jesus’ teaching regarding prayer.

9. The Secret replaces the Bible with itself as the true source of guidance and wisdom.

10. The Secret gives out advice that could endanger a person’s health.
