A time of Departing by Ray Yungen

Ancient Mystical Practices are being introduced into countless churches under the umbrella of the spiritual formation movement. Also known as contemplative spirituality, this belief system has roots in mysticism and the occult. If you've ever wondered about labyrinths, breath prayers, centering prayer, the silence, yoga, Reiki, the Desert Father, spiritual formation, contemplative prayer, and the ancient wisdom practices this is a book you must read! You may be surprised to find through which avenues this new spirituality is entering the Church. What about the influences of Purpose Driven and Emerging Church movements, postmodernism, seminaries and Christian colleges and Spiritual Directors? This book exposes the subtle strategies that are cloaked under evangelical terminology and are compromising the gospel message.
