Reaction to the Law of Attraction
Law of attraction - Have there been any conference papers or good reference books written to counter the very popular mindset of the law of attraction? Books such as "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill promote things such as: "You are the master of your destiny." A friend of mine believes what he has written in his two books is based on biblical principles, but far from it. In the account of Job, he writes that Job willed it to himself that all might be restored to him... In short the law of attraction turns our attention from our God and puts it on self.
I did not find resources from individuals from within our fellowship.
I did come across a video interview in which the individual offers a good critique of the subject matter you referenced. You can access the interview via this link.
You have the right idea about the law of attraction and its various forms: it definitely turns our attention away from God and puts people at the forefront of life. What we want to do is direct people to the message of the Bible—that God is the giver of all good things (James 1:17).
