I wish that I would have read this book when I was a teenager, about 13 years old, and just beginning to question religious and spiritual matters and investigate the Eastern, Neo-Pagan, and other religions. It's a shame that it has taken me so long to find it, but at least I finally found it! This

book is an excellent discussion of the dangers of the new movements in Western "spirituality" -- such as the introduction of elements from Eastern religions, such as Buddhist meditation and Hindu yogic practices, Neo-Paganism, with its pseudo-revival of ancient demon-worship, and Pentecostalism, with its unquestioning acceptance of whatever "spirit" it is that takes possession of a man, causing him to behave in ways deeply contrary to the true movement of the Holy Spirit. Father Seraphim does a wonderful job of exposing all of this and contrasting it with the authentic, ancient spiritual tradition of the Orthodox Christian Church, the sole spiritual preserve of the Apostolic Faith.
