For some reason, I had been of the impression that the popularity of “The Secret”– that book Oprah puffed a couple of years ago– was on the wane. I was recently proven wrong when I spoke with a bright, articulate young man who had just moved to the U.S. from Peru. He was deeply engaged in the book’s message. Then I did a little more digging and found out that it’s still a bestseller and there are a number of very popular websites and “spiritual teachers” promoting it (and thereby proving its truth?).

So what’s it all about? The author claims it’s at the heart of Christian teaching… is it? That’s what I’ll be examining this week on the God Knows What podcast.
