While eastern meditation emphasizes repetitive chanting, the Bible teaches mediation as a means of reflecting on the meaning of scripture and condemns vain repetition. “But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.” – Matthew 6:7 KJV
(Barry Bowen – Trinity Foundation) On August 18th, Paula White’s National Faith Advisory Board announced in a Facebook post the September launch of the “Amen Whole 4”—a program addressing physical, mental, relational and spiritual health, led by Dr. Daniel Amen, founder of the Amen Clinics.
Amen is a controversial doctor famous for using Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) brain scans to create customized health improvement programs. Meanwhile, his “Amen Whole 4” program costs $1,290.
Amen’s books and clinics have generated immense wealth from Christians and celebrities, more about that later.
Discernment ministries sounded the alarm a decade ago when Amen co-wrote The Daniel Plan: 40 Days to a Healthier Life with Pastor Rick Warren and Dr. Mark Hyman.
