This is a tough book to rate because it delineates a theological philosophy that either resonates with you or doesn’t. If you believe that your personal existence is an individualized expression of the Source that permeates all things and that this source is God, then you’ll like this book. If you don’t believe that, and don’t believe that our thoughts create our reality, then you’ll probably see Holmes as a pie-in-the-sky fantasist. Everyone’s subjective response to the content will influence their evaluation of this book.
I’m a member of the Unity Church, which philosophically and theologically has much in common with Holmes’ Science of Mind paradigm. Both Unity and Science of Mind are New Thought theologies that resonate with me, so this resonance made the book easily digestible for me. Holmes’ inspirational and affirmation-heavy writing style may be inspirational for some or repetitive and tiresome for others. Personally, I enjoyed reading Holmes’ joyful messages even though they sometimes felt repetitive.
Very good book. I'm not sure I am 100% on all of his concepts in agreement, however, I can respect his conceptual structure of thoughts on this topic. They are congruent, there are no contradictions throughout, so they are succinct ideas. Much to learn from this.
