Ray Yungen exposes, in a clear and documented manner, both Catholic and Evangelical mysticism, which has affected mankind in its core beliefs and values. I highly recommend this book to understand a massive undetected plague facing us in our day.— RICHARD BENNETT Former Catholic Priest, Now Evangelist - BEREAN BEACON

After reading A Time of Departing one can only come to the conclusion that contemplative prayer is one of the introductory gateways into Eastern mysticism. While popular theologians are Christianizing Eastern mysticism, the reality is Christianity is being spiritualized into this realm.

Gives keen insights into the subtle attacks on the gospel by agents of the master deceiver. Provides the discernment that the church needs in these days of widespread deception. Will help keep the reader's heart from being led a stray from its pure devotion to Jesus Christ. —EVANGELIST MIKE GENDRON PROCLAIMING THE GOSPEL.

A Time of Departing details, sadly, the true extent to which deception has entered the Christian church through the contemplative prayer movement ... gives quotes and facts to reveal how so many congregations have strayed wildly from biblical worship and prayer guidelines, and how much more closely aligned they are becoming to non-Christian neopagan and Eastern religious practices. The revolution is within the church, as Yungen shows. —LINDA HARVEY

The tentacles of the Eastern doctrines of the New age have been given a Christian veneer. These false teachers have changed the Word of God to suit their misguided understanding of spirituality.—JACK HOOK, Babylon the Great is Falling Ministries

This book fills a great need in our present day… The scriptures quoted give
authenticity to the points Ray makes. Deserves wide recognition.—BERNIE KOERSELMAN BEREAN PUBLISHERS

A Time of Departing opens a new door of knowledge to those earnestly contending for the faith. There is a New Religion in town and it is called New Age, as amply exposed in this book by Mr. Yungen.—ANDY NECKAR http://cnview.com

Ray Yungen makes us aware that the New Age movement has not faded into oblivion but has found a new avenue of reception in the church … documents how mysticism is being accepted and practiced as prayer. A great resource as well as a warning for discerning Christians.— MIKE OPPENHEIMER LET US REASON MINISTRIES

A very important book. Panentheism has invaded the churches in a variety of ways already, but the introduction of contemplative prayer is sure to be a final nail to the coffin. Ray does a good job of research and has applied excellent authorship and readability to A Time of Departing. —SANDY SIMPSON DECEPTION IN THE CHURCH

A great tool to create an awareness in young people … Author points out that Jesus has become a commodity used in almost all belief systems to make them believable. The book is an important addition to educate people.—GEORGE AND RITA WILLIAMS

Explains the implications of Contemplative Spirituality; prayer is replaced by unbiblical mystical techniques, Christian spirituality is replaced by an undiscerning mysticism, and reliance on the Bible to shape our image of God is replaced by contemplative experience. A must read. JOHN CADDOCK

Well written, researched and documented. Provides a sobering overview of how far the Christian church has been influenced by the deception of the New Age movement. ROGER OAKLAND
