After
reading A Time of Departing one can only come to the conclusion
that contemplative prayer is one of the introductory gateways
into Eastern mysticism. While popular theologians are
Christianizing Eastern mysticism, the reality is Christianity
is being spiritualized into this realm.

A
Time of Departing details, sadly, the true extent to which
deception has entered the Christian church through the
contemplative prayer movement ... gives quotes and facts
to reveal how so many congregations have strayed wildly
from biblical worship and prayer guidelines, and how much
more closely aligned they are becoming to non-Christian
neopagan and Eastern religious practices. The revolution
is within the church, as Yungen shows. LINDA

The
tentacles of the Eastern doctrines of the New age have
been given a Christian veneer. These false teachers have
changed the Word of God to suit their misguided understanding
of spirituality.JACK HOOK, Babylon

A Time of Departing opens a new door of knowledge to those
earnestly contending for the faith. There is a New Religion
in town and it is called New Age, as amply exposed in
this book by Mr. Yungen.ANDY NECKAR http://cnview.com
Ray Yungen makes us aware that the New Age movement has
not faded into oblivion but has found a new avenue of
reception in the church
documents how mysticism
is being accepted and practiced as prayer. A great resource
as well as a warning for discerning Christians. MIKE OPPENHEIMER LET
US REASON MINISTRIES
A
very important book. Panentheism has invaded the churches
in a variety of ways already, but the introduction of
contemplative prayer is sure to be a final nail to the
coffin. Ray does a good job of research and has applied
excellent authorship and readability to A Time of Departing. SANDY SIMPSON DECEPTION

A
great tool to create an awareness in young people
Author points out that Jesus has become a commodity used
in almost all belief systems to make them believable.
The book is an important addition to educate people.GEORGE

Explains
the implications of Contemplative Spirituality; prayer
is replaced by unbiblical mystical techniques, Christian
spirituality is replaced by an undiscerning mysticism,
and reliance on the Bible to shape our image of God is
replaced by contemplative experience. A must read. JOHN

Thank
you Ray for again sounding the alarm about a very real
danger to the church. A wake-up call to all pastors, leaders,
and Christians everywhere who care about the integrity
of the "faith delivered to us once and for all."
