Summary

Christians too often discount the experiences of New Age seekers as superficial and meaningless -- perhaps even demonic. As a result, the chasm between Christian faith and the new spirituality appears wider than ever. In this book, Ross Clifford and Philip Johnson help bridge the gap by revealing seekers as the Creator sees them -- individuals created in God's image. They're also people who are committed to discovering how they relate to their world, and to finding meaning for their lives -- exactly what the teachings of Jesus are all about. Get ready to truly listen to today's New Age seekers ... to hear in their own words about their worries and fears, as well as their discoveries and aspirations. Learn to communicate authentically, and to honestly understand the questions people are asking today. And with this book's powerful index at your fingertips, you will find it an invaluable resource. Be prepared to be surprised! There are satisfying, life-changing answers within reach. Book jacket.
