WOMANTalk Friday, January 2nd: 
Best of 2008 - Oprah & Tolle's new Earth,Part 1

 

With Audrey Russo & Debra Rae. The most listened to WOMANTalk edition of the show in 2008.
Oprah's television talk show has been number one for 21 years, her book club has 1 million members, she has thrust Dr. Phil and Rachael Ray into mainstream America, and now she 'feels called' to bring to the world New Age teacher Eckhart Tolle and his book, A New Earth. What does this 'new earth' look like?

Eckhart Tolle and his new book, A New Earth has become an overnight sensation thanks to Oprah’s enthusiastic endorsement. In fact, Oprah hosted a 10-week on-line course conducted by Tolle. Over two million have participated! In response to this, there’s been a huge countering of e-mails and video clips by Christians warning people that Oprah is a leader of a new cult, a false prophet, the heretical pastor of the world’s largest mega-church, etc. Is she? We decided to research what the buzz is all about, and this show is part 1 of what we found.

"This book’s main purpose is ... to bring about a shift in consciousness.... Not everyone is ready yet, but many are, and with each person who awakens, the momentum in the collective consciousness grows." Eckhart Tolle

SPECIAL INTEREST
WOMANTALK BOOK CLUB - Wrap Up
 

The following is the Reading Guide Wrap-Up, for our Fall Book Club selection, "America's Secular Challenge - The Rise of a New National Religion" by Dr. Herbert London. We hope you enjoyed reading the book as much as we did.

I encourage you to Listen to our interview with Dr. Herbert London online. It's your opportunity to hear the author explain and elaborate on the themes of his book.

Radio Interview with Dr. Herbert London:
Part 1:  http://www.oneplace.com/ministries/Changing_Worldviews/archives.asp?bcd=2008-11-24
Part 2 (airs Dec. 1st): http://www.oneplace.com/ministries/changing_worldviews/

Reading Guide Questions:

1. Chapter 4 – Government’s Rationalist Largesse – What do you learn from this chapter that explains the election of Barack Obama and his “spread the wealth around” political philosophy?

2. Chapter 5 – Patriotism as a Moral Problem – Dr. Herbert London explained this well in our interview with him this week. What does he mean by the title of this chapter?
Listen online here:  http://www.oneplace.com/ministries/Changing_Worldviews/archives.asp?bcd=2008-11-24

3. Chapter 6 – Tolerance, Discrimination and Discernment – “Secularism is blustery in its words, but is a quiet ideology in its actions.” This statement by Dr. London sums up a key in understanding how secularism can grow in a culture. How has tolerance, discrimination and discernment, or the lack thereof, played a role in the rise of secular humanism in our society?

4. How has reading this book helped you understand current worldviews, and how they are shaped?

5. How did the “4 Keys to Understanding Our World Today” material presented at the two workshops help you understand how worldviews are formed?

Watch for information on our next book selection in January, and how you can get a copy at a discounted price.

As we enter the holiday season, I encourage you to stay tuned to our radio show for relevant programs, and visit our website often for holiday reading, watching and listening recommendations.

 
REAL WOMEN
FROM SHARON
Hopebulb December - Where's the Hope?

Chuck Colson was famously quoted in a Steven Curtis Chapman song as saying "Where is the hope? The hope that each of us has is not in who governs us, or what laws we pass, or what great things we do as a nation." So, where is the hope to be found?
