In Search of the True Light Endorsements
MINISTRY LEADERS
Matthew Barnett—Pastor / Los Angeles International Church
(the Dream Center)
"Mike Shreve is one of the most dynamic voices in America
today. He has committed his life to seeing souls saved, feeding
the hungry and reaching the needy. "In
Search Of The True Light" is a classic.
Mike’s testimony will touch your heart and his
insights into the religions of the world are very enlightening.
I have not been able to put down
this book."
Rev. R. W. Shambach
"As I have listened to the testimony and teaching of
Mike Shreve, I believe he has a message
that every believer in Jesus Christ needs to hear."
(Concerning Mike Shreve's testimony only.)
Dr. Gerald Derstine—Founder and Director, Gospel Crusades,
Inc.
"I know of no other minister who is more capable of
expounding the Scriptures theologically than Mike Shreve. His
knowledge of the Eastern religions and…world religions will
enlighten you..."
C. Peter Wagner—Noted Author, Educator and Director of the
International Coalition of Apostles
"I agree that the True Light books need very wide
circulation…You’ve done an incredible
research project and I congratulate you for it!"
TELEVISION AND RADIO MINISTRIES (INTERVIEWS)
Jerry Newcombe—Senior Producer of Coral Ridge Ministries (TV)
"I had the privilege of interviewing Mike Shreve
recently on the radio about his change from being a yoga teacher
to a born again follower of Jesus Christ. I
found his testimony fascinating, and he was very articulate and
balanced in explaining his perspective on Christians and yoga.
Furthermore, his book doesn’t attack those who are lost or in
bondage. It builds bridges of friendship in order to explain how
Jesus Christ truly is the Way, the Truth, and the Life."
Denny Brownlee—Co-host of the Morning Show on The Family Life
Network (Radio)
"Thanks so much for sharing with our listening audience
your story and the dangers of yoga. So much of what you have
in your past is fascinating--and dangerous. The church needs
to know it--and you say it well. On behalf of John Owens and
myself, thanks for taking time to share with our
audience. Your message is a much needed wake-up call.
May God continue to bless your ministry."
Bob Dutko—Host of The Bob Dutko Show (Radio)
"Mike was an exceptional interview. His
knowledge about his subject matter and easy conversational style
made him a great guest. There's nothing more frustrating
than interviewing authors who don't know their material, are not
engaging or just plain boring, so I really appreciate when people
like Mike come on the show. I would highly recommend Mike for any
media interviews and I look forward to having on my show in the
future."
Chuck Borsellino Ph.D., Psy. D.—Host, "At Home
Live," Family Net TV (TV)
"Anyone can take the topic of world religions and make it
complicated…but Mike took us from
confusing to conversant in only 20 minutes."
Marvin Sanders—American Family Radio Network (Radio)
"No one understands the dangers of New Age thinking
better than Mike Shreve, and he is able to communicate that on the
level of his hearer or reader, from the child to the philosophy
professor. It is a rare gift. Our interview with Mike was one of
our best programs. I highly recommend his
book, In Search of the True Light, especially to those who are
searching and those who are ministering to the searchers."
Kerby Anderson—Point of View Radio Program (Radio)
"Thank you so
much for being on Point of View yesterday. It was a great
interview, and I appreciate the time you spent with
us...In Search of the True Light provides an in-depth look at the
major questions addressed by the major religions and
provides a clear presentation of the Christian message. This
is a great book to give to a non-Christian
searching for truth."
Paul Willoughby—Nite Lite Live, Nationwide Canadian
Telecast / Crossroads Network (TV)
"Mike shared in a powerful way
his divine encounter with Jesus Christ that took him from
Kundalini teacher to follower of Christ. His
passion for the Lord and compassion for others was evident as he
interacted with caller after caller. I
highly recommend Mike's ministry, especially to those
from a non-Christian background. He has a winning
approach. His statement, 'I do not disregard the
passion, sincerity and goodness of those persons whose beliefs are
non-biblical,' and 'I do not deny that there are common elements
in almost all religions that have great worth,' help to build
bridges rather than walls. However, he is very clear when he
states, 'the cross of Jesus is the connecting point between
eternity and time and the main thing that sets the Christian faith
apart from all other religions.' For
Mike, the bottom line is introducing people to a life changing
encounter with Jesus Christ.' That's our bottom line
too."
Father Michael Manning, SVD—The Word in the World, TBN (TV)
"Thank you again, Mike, for being a guest on our TV
program. I was deeply blessed by your willingness to follow
the call of the Lord. Your ministry is
a key to bringing many people to the Lord. Know of my
prayers and support for your work for the Kingdom."
Rhonda Glenn—100 Huntley Street, Co-Host (TV)
"Thoughtful and thought-provoking, Mike
Shreve provide a unique insight into the essential question all
spiritual seekers must ask - do all religions lead to
God? Interwoven with his own compelling personal story and a
comprehensive look at more than twenty world religions, he
provides a cogent answer to this difficult question. A
good resource for anyone who is searching for spiritual meaning
and purpose."
AUTHORS
Vail Carruth—"Authentic Enlightenment"
Author, former teacher of Transcendental Meditation before
her conversion experience.
"Both my husband and I were so blessed by your book.
We were impressed at the anointed, compassionate, and informed way
it is written -- and we think of it as a great resource and
witnessing tool. It is one of the
finest books I have seen on New Age apologetics, and a
welcome relief from a lot of what's out there.
Seen from the inside, the Lord has given you a unique perspective,
and your love and understanding are very evident. The
sincere seeker will not be put off by your book. In fact,
your book leaves them without any excuse!"
BOOKSELLING INDUSTRY
Bruce Bartel—Chairman, Lighthouse Christian Stores and former
Board member of the Christian Booksellers Association (CBA)
"This book is valuable for two unique reasons: it gives
the most important and useful information about eleven major
religions in the world with which Christians should be familiar in
these days of global change, and it also
treats these religions and those who believe in them with respect
and dignity so that you can give this book to friends to read in a
spirit of love."
EDUCATIONAL LEADERS
Dr. Richard Jones—Professor of Anthropology and Intercultural
Studies, Lee University, Cleveland, Tennessee
"Very few comparative works written about world religions
ever get beyond the most superficial surface characteristics of
those belief systems. Mike Shreve,
however, offers a much needed and detailed approach to
understanding the mind and heart of people who follow the world’s
various religions. He honestly and accurately discusses
those areas in which the world’s religions agree and those areas
in which they disagree. He intelligently guides the reader through
his own search for Truth and encourages and challenges us to do
the same. I
will be recommending this book to all my anthropology and
intercultural studies students in order to aid them in their own
searches for the Truth, and to help them gain a better
understanding of world religions."
Ian Bond, D. Min—Executive Director / Dean, Beacon School of
Ministry, Columbus, GA
"There are many excellent books available on comparative
religion, but Mike Shreve’s new offering, In
Search of the True Light, is worthy of special attention.
The research is thorough, the text is lucid and engaging, a wealth
of information is presented, the endnotes are detailed, and the
bibliography is comprehensive. Mike’s approach is not to
criticize or condemn alternative worldviews and beliefs systems,
but with clarity and compassion he shows the weaknesses and flaws
in each of the systems studied. Then in each case he lovingly yet
firmly points to the Bible and Jesus Christ as the true source of
light. This is destined to become a
standard text for pastors, Bible students, and laymen for many
years to come."
