Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I would like to make a few comments in reference to the review that called the Virkler book "New Age" and asserted that it was like consulting the Ouija board. First of all, I wonder if that reviewer has actually done any of the journaling exercises as taught in this book. Have they taken a month or two of daily writing according to these principles and been able to find out for themselves what it is all about? Or did they just read the book and make a Big Pronouncement after that superficial encounter?
In regard to the "New Age" criticism-Virkler quite clearly addresses this issue and defines quite plainly how this approach is very different. In addition, when doing the journaling, one is to have at least two other knowledgeable, Spirit-led Christian advisors to make sure that everything being received is in line with scripture and not veering off into other, darker realms of spiritual access.
If one's view of Christianity is one of theological knowledge and discourse, or in other words "the head", then this kind of angle will be offensive and seem wrong. But if your view is more that it is an affair of "the heart", that Jesus calls us to intimacy with him, that he wants us to be his (in the spiritual sense) "lover", then the journaling techniques taught in this book are an invaluable tool in creating that close, personal, "drinking from his mouth", kind of relationship to which he calls us. To dismiss it as New Age is unfair and frankly, untrue. It would be wrong if it discouraged a seeker from learning something that could make all the difference in his/her spiritual life.
