A
Los Angeles Times article reported that Missler and co-author
Hal Lindsey had plagiarized a portion of
Miami University Professor
Edwin Yamauchi's 1982 book
Foes from the Northern Frontier in their own 1992 book
The Magog Factor. Hal Lindsey's manager Paul Krikac said Missler had written the passages in question, but conceded that Lindsey is responsible for the overall manuscript: "His (Lindsey's) butt is on the line."
[12] After the missed attribution was acknowledged by Missler,
[13] book shipments to bookstores were discontinued and all of the authors' proceeds donated to a ministry.
[14]Missler was later accused of plagiarism of New Age writer Michael Talbot's 1992 book The Holographic Universe in his 1999 book
Cosmic Codes: Messages from the Edge of Eternity.
[15] Missler also acknowledged this as missed attribution and apologized publicly. He said a correction would be inserted in all unsold copies and the book itself updated in subsequent printings. Missler donated all of the author's proceeds from the book to a ministry.
