HAS PK ENDORSED

THE STAR OF 2000 BY JAY GARY?

In the July/August, 1995 issue of New Man magazine a book  review appeared  on  The Star of 2000 by Jay Gary. New Man  magazine  is endorsed  by Promise Keepers, but it is written and published  by Strang Communications,  a  separate organization.  As  with  any general  interest magazine, the views expressed in New Man  magazine  are  those of the author and not necessarily the  views  of Promise  Keepers. We do not exhaustively research the  background of every book or author that appears in New Man.
Promise  Keepers  must trust the discernment of the  reviewer  to provide  an accurate assessment of these books, and the  discernment  of the reader as they seek the guidance of the Holy  Spirit in all that they read.
It  is  important  to understand why New Man  magazine  chose  to review this book. It seems that the primary controversy surrounding  The Star of 2000 is not the actual content of the book,  but the  author's purported association with Robert Muller,  and  Mr.Muller's  reported  "New  Age" agenda.  However,  many  Christian leaders have endorsed Gary's book -- Bill Bright, Joe Aldrich, Ted Baehr,  John Dawson, etc. Why? Because The Star of 2000 does  not present  New Age philosophies within its pages. Rather, it is  an exhaustive study of the events being planned for the year 2000 by various  organizations -- Christian and non-Christian -- and how Christians can work to make it a celebration for Christ.
The  Star of 2000 effectively communicates several  aspects  that are uniform among Christians: our love for Christ, our  need  to honor  Him, and our desire to make Him nown. Promise  Keepers  is committed  to preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ, and  we  will always reject ideas that violate the truth of the Scriptures.  We believe  that New Age teachings are in conflict with  traditional Christianity  and our Statement of Faith.
