All this to be said, I think God can certainly use this book in someone's life, but there should be a deep knowledge of these Bible truths to balance out the affirmations/'you are in control' side to it that occur in this book:I heard about this book as a recommendation, but there are many problems with it that cause it to be somewhat unbiblical. In the very first chapter, a number of false supposed truths exist-the primary one being 'I think therefore I am.' This is deceptive. The Bible says to come to God in repentance to then be changed by the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38, 2 Cor 3:18).The Bible also says that God will give good things to those who ASK Him, not to those who think they are something when they are, in fact, not (Matt 7:11, Gal 6:3). This is the lie of 'affirmations'. The author tries to graft in the science of the brain into a book, but it has little to do with walking in the Spirit and God's commands in His Word.This book encourages you to focus and visualize YOUR dreams and goals, not God's commands, in contrast to the great commission: Matt 28:19-20, and Ecclesiastes 12:13-14: to fear God and keep His commands.The author also discourages "negative" attitudes such as anger, when there is a time "for everything under the sun" including hate, war, weeping, and morning (Ecc 3:1-8). Paul also praises God for the result of grief: 'As it is, I rejoice, not because you were grieved, but because you were grieved into repenting. For you felt a godly grief, so that you suffered no loss through us.' (2 Cor 7:9) and Jesus was "a man acquainted with grief"(Isaiah 53:3).In chapter 8, the author says "Do you see yourself as an awesome child of God?" when, in fact, we must realize we are sinners in need of a Savior first.
