The Secret by Rhonda Byrne -- Prosperty Theology with a new Book Cover


There's a new book that has quickly leaped to the near top of the bestseller lists. On the Barnes & Noble and Amazon site, it's ranked #2, just behind the new Harry Potter book. Oprah devoted 2 shows to it.


Rhonda Byrne has written a book that she claims is the secret to sucess in life, but isn't it really just prosperity theology in a new package?


So, what's the secret? Simply, it's this: "You attract what you think about; your thoughts determine your destiny." (Whitney 2007) It's based upon the laws of attraction.


To learn more about the book, read Don Whitney's commentary about it on Baptist Press. Also look at the transcript of an interview on Larry King Live. Amazingly, even Newsweek is skeptical in their article, "De-coding the Secret."
