In a review in Christianity Today of the best-selling book The Secret by Rhonda Byrne, Mel Lawrenz of Elmbrook Church in Brookfield Wisconsin, writes:
“Contrary to the real gospel, The Secret proclaims: ‘The universe is supporting me in everything I do. The universe meets all my needs immediately.’
“Byrne says she is most gratified to hear of children discovering The Secret. But having raised two kids,” Lawrenz writes, “I’ve always thought that one of the most important lessons young people must realize is that the universe does not revolve around them, that they are not God. When we believe in a God above us — then we find help and hope.”
