Warern preaches "what god can do for me?, id I like what is in it for ME, maybe I will attend your band's performance, as long as you don't offend me."
I hosted one of the 40-day Bible studies at my home and my take on it was 180 degrees from yours. The whole thrust of the study was discerning God's will for our lives so that we can better serve Him. It wasn't about me at all but about God.

I haven't read any of his other books though so I'm not going to make a blanket statement supporting or condemning his theology.

Having read only portions fo the one book, I have to agree with DallasMike. My take has been that the focus is on how you can work for the Lord, not the other way around.

But then, depending on the spirit with which you enter the study, you could find whatever you wanted within it, I suppose.

I am certain that when I share it with my teens, they will have a unique take on it! :)

I have recently begun reading the bookn at the urging of my daughter. (who is a youth minister and decidely not "new age")

I haven't seen any of that which has been charged so far. I'll read it very carefully and decide for myself before I agree or disagree with the other poster.
