For years, the author of this book was magnetised by the attractive fruit of spiritual power and heavenly reality offered by the New Age's many forms.
It would be all too easy to read it with the glib self-satisfied attitude of someone who has found the Truth, the Life and the Way. But the wonderful thing is that Phillips does not allow this to happen, not least because the conversion experience at the culmination of the book brilliantly demonstrates the grace of God experienced by every believer. Phillips discovers the Truth who found him. It did not happen the other way around. 'There are no immunities from difficulties on this planet. Things can get so dark so quickly, and so often. History has proven that to be the nature of this world, just as the Bible describes it. However, there can be a personal peace that surpasses all understanding, though it is grounded in a reasonable belief. I sincerely and diligently searched for it and now I am found' (p.176)
