Abanes is also a novelist, last year having released his first novel, Homeland Insecurity -- a fast-paced, action-packed thriller that revolves around domestic terrorism and racism. It is no surprise that such a novel would come from Abanes.

Eckhart Tolle, Oprah, New Spirituality

Just because it sounds good godly, does not mean it is good and godly.

With Oprah Winfrey's hearty endorsement and a lack of contradictory discussions, the New York Times best-seller, A New Earth, sounds like good news. What many Christians and seekers don't seem to realize is that while many of the claims sound biblical - they simply are not.

Most troubling is the way Tolle consistently uses the Bible to support his heretical views. This, in turn, has caused many Christians to mistakenly believe that Tolle's religious teachings are fully compatible with Christianity.

Thanks to high-powered celebrity support, Tolle has influenced untold millions of people with his updated version of New Age ideas about God, Jesus Christ, salvation, forgiveness, sin, and the afterlife.

Join me at CCN.TV to uncover the real truth about this highly-acclaimed yet controversial book. Through this timely broadcast, your church community can learn why Tolle's ideas are so compelling -and so dangerous. Hear how the New Earth contradicts the Bible's teaching about:

Suffering
Divinity
Jesus
