Because of commercials I'm sending you to the link rather than embedding this video: SERVANTS OF GRACE : THE DANGERS OF JESUS CALLING BOOK BY SARAH YOUNG
Brace yourself for listening to a sexist woman who says women come second, women are "too emotional" and get "easily hooked" to false Jesus and beliefs... including going against the new Jesus film, The Chosen (called hokey)... Christianese - now that's a new word! (Just in time for the stereotyping of men and women that leads some people to erroneously think they are not male or female!)
She's entitled to her opinion and OK, maybe Sarah Young's book does not reflect Bible interpretation as Doreen and her kind do, but...
I CONSIDER THAT SARAH YOUNG'S BOOK SOLD, not just because her version of Jesus and God is a loving, tolerant, and accepting friend rather than a punishing, mean, demanding person, but BECAUSE THAT IS THE JESUS and GOD THAT PEOPLE in 2023 WANT and NEED...
My posts are not pro New Age Movement by the way, as I have my own experiences and attitudes about it over all, at least some aspects of it, but I wonder if any conscious Californian had not encountered notions such as that your thoughts create your life, that you can't afford a negative thought, and so on.
(My anti-positive thinking position is expressed elsewhere in this blog.)
A few years ago, a woman who was going through a hell time in her life, went out to the store on her day off and bought me Sarah Young's book. It's a daily meditation - thought - prayer type book (not to confuse it with Hindu or Buddhist inspired meditation) and I read it fairly consistently for some time. Did it help me? It lifted my thoughts at least temporarily. I knew this woman's devotion to Jesus was what was allowing her to cope. I could not fault or condemn her for that.
