Christian author Warren Smith€s book Deceived on Purpose warns about the serious implications of Pastor Rick Warren€s book, The Purpose Driven Life. Smith takes the reader into the inner working of today€s evangelical world as he explains the questionable interconnections of Christian and New Age leaders, and the possibility of Rick Warren€s Peace Plan merging with the New Age Peace Plan. Smith contends that New Age sympathizer Robert Schuller has had a great influence on Rick Warren€s teachings and that Schuller€s influence can be found in Rick Warren€s book, The Purpose Driven Life. Smith was a former New Age follower and he draws from his knowledge of the New Age subculture that is being subtly weaved into the Christian culture.
