Product Description

Is it possible to believe in both God and the law of attraction? A core argument of Rhonda Byrne's best-selling book The Secret, the law of attraction says that thoughts are magnetic. Anyone can have whatever they want, be it good health, wealth, or even relationships. They need only train their minds to dwell on what they desire. But is this true?

In this companion audio book to the current media storm, author Ed Gungor believes there is more to the story. Respecting the real needs that have caused so many to seize on Byrne's program of mental self-help, Gungor uncovers a more accurate representation of the power of the mind by examining the role God plays in the equation. His goal is not to attack, but to correct what he says is misguided advice in a manner both compassionate and compelling. His results may surprise you!

Customer Reviews

Good but could have been much better.
This was a great read, but it spent too much time trying to discount Rhonda Byrne's "The Secret" movie and book, and less time telling the reader why its really God behind the Law of Attraction.
The author of this book was left out of the movie by the creators of it, and seems to have a personal grudge, even though he repeats that he does not.
If you are a believer in God, you will totally "get" this book, as I did, and you might even enjoy it.

There Is More To The Secret
Decided to read this one after the "Secret". In "There Is More To The Secret" looking for balance about half way had enough closed this book and will not pick it up again. Found my answers in the DVD "Secret".

The Secret isn't a secret anymore
My first reaction to 'The Secret' was mostly positive - the message was a flashier rehash of the philosophy espoused by so many well know self help gurus - Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra, Marianne Williamson, M. Scott Peck to name a few. Howwever, after discussing the film's premises with others, comparing it to 'Down The Rabbit Hole', as well as re-viewing the film, I realized that the film and the book needed further tempering. This audio book should be mandatory for anyone viewing the film or reading the book most especially for younger generations who haven't been exposed to the wisdom gained from life & education.

The difference betwween 'The Secret' and the other authors mentioned earlier, has to do with the crass commercialism and greed seemingly espoused by the anthologist - which is a more accurate title for Byrnes. I was horrified by the scene with the child dreaming of & getting a bicycle. I was also offended by Rhonda's assertion that if you don't want to be obese, don't look at someone who is.

This book, 'There is More to The Secret' should be read by anyone who has seen the movie. It is not a religious tome, but rather an explanation of ancient wisdom that was espoused by many traditions down through the millenia - pagan, Christian & Judaic.

You'll see it when you believe it (also a book title) is a reality. However, what you want also has be healthy for one's soul. That's another reality not seen in the movie. Remember the adage 'Be careful what you wish for, you might get it.' Simply put, the grass always looks greener when you lawn is properly taken care of.
