 More egocentric drivel from Mr. Tolle February 12, 2008
165 out of 255 found this review helpful
Oprah fell for this latest nonsense new age babble from Mr. Tolle and made him a wealthy man. If you want to learn about yourself, read 'The Prophet' or anything by Kafka, not Mr. Tolle's mumbo jumbo. For reasons I now forget, I read Mr. Tolle's 'The Power of Now' and had to use all of my present moment energy to get through that one, which was at best a minor attempt at intellectual depth. I decided to give him another chance since, well, if it is in Oprah's bookclub, it must be brilliant. How could a greedy ego-maniac like her be wrong? Bottom line: 'A New Earth' is stupid. Don't waste your time or money. And if you want to learn about flowers, buy a book on Garden Design. Or better yet, read this excellent suspense novel: Drachman's Dilemmas You will gain insight you did not know you had.
An alternative to Christianity, where God is Me February 27, 2008
126 out of 215 found this review helpful
Simply enough, Tolle's book is so attractive and popular because it removes the distractng reminder of a God who loves us enough to die for us, but who also loves us too much to acquiesce when we deliberately choose to spend Eternity apart from Him. Follow Tolle's philosophy and you'll break the second commandment; namely, you'll make a god in your own image (yours!) God wants for us what Tolle's book supposedly offers, but He is the only one who can get us there.
Another Oprah Brainwashing February 1, 2008

Just another lemming reaction to an Oprah selection. It's sad commentary that so many people will wait until she puts her approval on a selection and then rush to purchase it and then feel that they belong in the select few. If you want to improve your spiritual life try the one book that has always been the answer, THE BIBLE!!
No New earth. August 9, 2006
102 out of 145 found this review helpful
i have read nearly all of Tolles books. All have been incredibly disappointing. This one probably the most disappointing.I understand the reviewers below, some who have not finished the book but have been hooked on the future promise of better things. ( Like a horoscope). Had there been no other books on the market of exactly the same nature before tolle started writing then I would have probably enjoyed some aspects. But really there is nothing new here. Certainly no New earth. That is another fantasy, living in the future idea. The reincarnation idea is also not new and Hindus have practised this for centuries. Obviously new readers will be impressed but those who have searched a little themselves will see the lack of substance in this book before the end. I could not even pass it on to someone else. I thought that would not be a nice thing as i found it so poor in the end.
More New-Age Garbage February 29, 2008

This book and books like this, insert out of context scripture to ease Christians into believing that this is what God wants them to be reading and doing, when actually it is leading you away from the truth and away from God. It worked on Oprah, and it will work on many others too.
It's amazing how many new-age "spiritual" books have been written. Why? Because the "spiritual seekers" that are reading and writing them haven't found what will truly fulfill them. The WORD of GOD.
