Editorial Review Product Description • Cultural history plus celebrity anecdotes • Up-to-the-minute look at the current New York cabaret scene Intimate Nights is the definitive history of cabaret as it evolved in New York City in the years after World War II. But that doesn’t mean it’s dry and academic. Good heavens, no. Settle in for racy tales of nightlife, revealed in interviews with dozens of the people who lived it: Bobby Short, Eartha Kitt, Mabel Mercer, Bette Midler, and many more. Author James Gavin has tracked down rare, early stories about the legends who came out of New York nightclubs—and that means Barbra Streisand, Woody Allen, Nichols and May, Johnny Mathis, Carol Burnett, Lenny Bruce, among others. Part cultural history, part celebrity gossip, Intimate Nights offers an intimate look at the creatures of the nightclubs. Customer Reviews (4)

Unmasking The New Age
Unmasked the Deceiver of This and Every Age! How significant to reflect back how the infiltration of this movement into media and medicine and education and government is now so fully entrenched. More to the point and more serious is this infiltration into the church, e.g. positive thinking.The comments here alone should awaken Christ's church to get rid of this leaven which is not new, just combination of old deceit with new terminology and players. Great source!
5 Stars, with a caveat This book attempts to describe New Age influence in public schools, and in the fields of medicine, science, politics, and American spirituality generally.I especially appreciated Groothuis's emphasis early on that he does not subscribe to a 'New Age conspiracy' which lends solid credibility to his approach.After reading the book, one might come away thinking that indeed such a conspiracy exists, but this is not the conclusion that Groothuis himself appears to subscribe to. Groothuis's treatment of how the New Age is impacting the fields of science and politics were especially insightful.He properly points out in the field of science that while New Age influences have actually corrected a number of erroneous presuppositions held sacred by many secular humanists and naturalists, this does not compensate for the New Age's abandonment of truth and the resulting chaos it brings to any field of study if consistently followed.Further, Groothuis brilliantly exposes how New Age influences have penetrated the American federal government, with taxpayer money being spent promoting decidedly New Age beliefs and practices.One wonders (though I confess it's no mystery to me) why the more militant church-state separatists haven't been up in arms about such a mixture of taxpayer money and religion, but that's a whole other topic.This sticks out like a sore thumb even more in light of the caveat I discuss below. Groothuis's treatment of the New Age's contribution to American spirituality (along with its influence in medicine) are likely to be the sections that laypeople might most object to.In these two sections, Groothuis properly goes into some detail in showing how New Age medicinal/spiritual practices are not innocuous or devoid of any spiritual meaning, but in fact promote a spiritual worldview that cannot be harmonized with orthodox Christianity without severely compromising it.A number of these practices are things that all kinds of Christians from the lukewarm to the devout are engaging in today either because they don't know any better, or even worse, because they are not discerning enough to see how these New Age practices are built upon and promote a philosophy that directly contradicts the message of the Bible.Because such practices like yoga, TM, acupuncture, homeopathy, and others have become mainstream even within the church, I strongly recommend this book as an effective countermeasure against the wholesale adoption of these practices by the body of Christ without any discernment. The one caveat I have about the book is its age.This book was written in the late '80s/1990, and as such, it is somewhat dated.Because the 'New Age' is a movement that makes it up as it goes along and is a rather fluid movement, readers looking for a current Christian critique of this movement might be a bit disappointed in this effort, although I think much of the material is still current.The date of this book is noteworthy because when Groothuis talks about the marriage of the New Age and the Department of Defense, as one example, this is what was happening 15 years ago, not yesterday.What is happening today is quite probably even more pervasive influence of the New Age with more taxpayer money being spent on New Age seminars, medicinal experiments, etc.For the Christian who has grown weary of the recent perversion of the church-state doctrine that has tried to put Christianity in an ever smaller and quieter box, this data from Groothuis makes it crystal clear the new standard of church-state separation is not being consistently followed, and that it certainly seems like we are living in an age of different rules for different faiths.Such a conclusion is formidable ammunition for the Christian seeking to expose the hypocrisy, uneven handedness, and rank bias of those who claim to cherish neutrality on this issue.As a result, I heartily recommend this book for a variety of reasons. ...

Excellent condition
A great resource
Seduction of christianity by Dave Hunt is better
Aresourse book to have on your shelf
Devastating Critique of the New Age I did not give the book5 stars for 2 main reasons.First, I thought that the authors spent toomuch time interjecting the concept of demonic possession or demonicinfluence into the discussion.After a while, this became a distraction tome while reading the book, and frankly, I think the whole concept wassignificantly overemphasized.Entering the concept of demonic influencesinto a discussion with a non Christian is probably the best way to alienatethat person from the joy of Christianity.Secondly, the one thing I washoping to see that I didn't see was an in depth discussion of the latestNew Age craze - nature based spirituality.Whether it takes the form ofwicca, native american spirituality, or other forms of paganism, there isnot a comprehensive discussion of this area.It is touched upon in a fewplaces in the book, but because it's such a hot topic right now, I wouldhave greatly enjoyed a separate section that was devoted specifically tothis arm of New Age thought and having it thoroughly examined as its owntopic. With the exception of the 2 concerns addressed above, Ankerbergand Weldon have produced a formidable response to New Age thought.It ismy hope that as the New Age movement continues to change, the authors willcontinue to publish revised versions of this book in order to keep current. ...
