The Secret of Rhonda Byrne or The Law of Attraction in the Bible



The Secret of Rhonda Byrne or The Law of Attraction in the Bible
"The Secret of Rhonda Byrne" or "The Law of Attraction" is not a new concept. In fact,it isn't a secret at all. The law of attraction was first promulgated by some of theearliest wise men, and it appears again and again throughout the Bible. But very fewpeople have learned or understand it.That's why it's unfamiliar to many and the reason it remains virtually a secret.If you were to ask one man after another what the secret of success is, you probably wouldn't run into one man who could tell you. Yet, this information is enormously valuable to us, if we really understand and apply it. It's valuable to us not only for our own lives, but for the lives of those around us - our families, employees, associates and friends. The principles of the Secret - the principles of success, appear again and again throughout the Bible, if you only look carefully.

Customer Review: Kiss your money goodbye...

I expected this book to be chock full of Biblical facts to support or refute "The Secret." This is not the case.



The book has several punctuation/spelling errors. Was there no editor?



It is only 100 pages. The font is large and everything is spaced far apart. The book could have been written in 50 pages to save paper.



There are "quotes" throughout the book that are meant to make a person think they are from the Bible, however, no verse/chapter is referenced so unless one is Biblically savvy, one cannot tell if they are from the Good Book or not.



I looked up many of the scriptures which are referenced and most of them are taken out of context. For example...



Numbers 13:33

And we seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same (like grasshoppers) in their eyes.



If you read the whole chapter in the Bible, the reason they seemed like grasshoppers was because the people were very tall (giants). Period. No secrets. No hidden message. They didn't really "think" they were grasshoppers, therefore, everyone believed they were grasshoppers. It was just a tall/short thing.



Sometimes the chapter of a verse is listed but not the verse number. When I tried to find the verse being referenced, I couldn't. So, I'm not sure if they are really verses or not.



The author talks about evolution as if it is real. (Maybe it is, maybe it isn't but many Christians believe evolution is a fallacy. Why even mention it in this book?)



He also says that whether we believe that God rules the universe or some other power rules it, it doesn't matter. The principles are all the same. It all works the same.



How many God-fearing Christians do you know who believe this? (Between this theory and the aforementioned evolution, I have to wonder if the author is a Christian at all?)



Perhaps the biggest secret of all is how this book ever got published. You will not find the answers you seek here. It is far better to get them from the Bible yourself.
