Another Jesus Calling: How False Christs Are Entering the Church Through Contemplative Prayer

When former New Ager Warren B. Smith read Jesus Calling, he became greatly concerned, finding it troubling to see a number of New Age practices and concepts being presented as completely normal for Christians. Even more troubling, there were no warnings or disclaimers about what was being introduced. By the end of the book, Jesus Calling and its "Jesus" had subtly, and not so subtly, introduced occult/New Age channeling, spiritual dictation, creative visualization, meditation, divine alchemy, co-creation with God, and practicing the presence like it was everyday Christian fare. New Age terms and concepts were brought into the messages like they were no big deal. And added to this were indirect references to a pantheistic poet and two classic New Age books, along with a hearty endorsement of God Calling - the channeled book that inspired Sarah Young to try and receive her own personal messages from Jesus.The unusual use of language by the "Jesus" of Jesus Calling was also disturbing. It seemed to run the gamut from "everyday Joe" language to strange word choice, unwarranted flattery, worldly cliches, repetitive phrases, disparaging comments, and not so subtle mockery. All in all, Jesus Calling seemed to be an obvious attempt by our spiritual Adversary to get an even further foothold inside the Christian church."Another Jesus" Calling asks the question, Is the "Jesus" of Jesus Calling the biblical Jesus Christ, or is it a false christ deceiving many? Given the fact that millions of copies of Jesus Calling have already sold, the answer to that question needs to be found. Warren Smith gives us the documentation and biblical references needed to find that answer.
