In Search of the True Light
Mike Shreve answers difficult questions about world religions

Are all religions different paths to the same God? Are all names given to God equally legitimate? Is truth subjective or objective? These were some of the questions Mike Shreve, author of In Search of the True Light, desired to have answered when he submitted his life to eastern religion as a means of discovering and experiencing God.

Turned off by, what he termed “established Christianity” at the time, Shreve became intrigues with talk of “cosmic consciousness” and “outer body experiences” taught him by an Indian guru. A college student then, Shreve quit school and began to spend twelve and fourteen-hour days in total solitude in his search for enlightenment. Soon, he was teaching Kundalini Yoga at four universities in the Tampa Florida area. A newspaper reporter did a story on his classes. “I was running a Yoga Ashram and this big article appears in the newspaper and I thought I would increase my class attendance, and I felt for sure it would jump up to eight or nine-hundred people. Instead it alerted a local prayer group to start praying for me.”

Shreve says that the prayer group pinned the newspaper article to its prayer board and assigned prayer warriors to fast and pray ever hour of ever day until he was delivered.

After experiencing salvation through Jesus, Shreve began to subject every prior belief in his worldview to the message of the cross. His desire for his new book is that it will reach others who are just as skeptical now about Christ as he once was.

In Search of the True Light compares over twenty religions, exposing their evident contradictions. The book also responds to far eastern concepts like karma, monism, pantheism, etc. If you’re looking for a book that will address many of the issues of alternative religions, this is a good one to have on your bookshelf. It’s also a good book to send to a college student away from home.
