Lighthouse Trails is pleased to announce the 2008 release of Caryl Matrisciana's Out of India. This special edition is revised and adapted from the 1985 book, Gods of the New Age (Harvest House). Out of India is the biography of Caryl Matrisciana. Matrisciana was born in and raised in India and saw first hand the effects that Hinduism had on the people of that nation. After leaving India as a young adult, she became involved in the counter culture New Age movement, only to find that the elements of Hinduism and the New Age were very much the same. This fascinating and compelling apologetic biography shows the spirituality that lies behind the New Age movement, its dangers, and its deception. It also shows how much of the New Age philosophy has entered the Christian church through various avenues, such as yoga and meditation. Read more/purchase
