I read a few pages and thought "it's just another Law of Attraction (LOA) book, I've read enough of those" and put it in the Return pile to go back to the library. For some reason, the next day I picked it up again and started flicking through it - and I am so glad that I did.

Yes, I did already know a lot of what was in this book, but the way it was expressed set off "light-bulb moments". I'm not one for making notes when I read something, but I started writing things down, and I ended up with 13 pages of notes. This book has given me a greater understanding of the Law of Attraction and of the importance of our thoughts, forgiveness (especially self-forgiveness) and of not dragging the past with you. Mostly, I learned how to "Let go of the outcome", which is probably the hardest part of LOA. WHAT I want is up to me, the HOW is up to Spirit.

Highly recommended.

According to the authors, “the same laws that produce the natural order on produce what most people call ‘miracles’—those wondrous and unexpected events that occur when marvelous things happen in someone’s life” (p. xi). They contend that human beings are “already wired for miracles,” that the miracle-making process is governed by age-old principles that anyone can learn via the “shortcuts” presented in this book, which are largely based on the work of Dr. Ernest Holmes. The text is divided into three parts: the principles, the miracle-making process, and the tools for creating miracles. Basically, the process boils down to knowing exactly what you want, visualizing it as already in your possession, and maintaining a positive mental attitude until the desire manifests. End pages include extensive notes and a selected bibliography.

I recommend reading this book as part of a book club and workshop. I liked the majority of the book that dealt with mental preparedness. I didn’t like the first chapter on Quantum Theory. To me it was way over the top. The part I really enjoyed was about self-talk and learning to train my mind to see life in a more positive light. I am using the tools of prayer, affirmations, visualization and meditation in my daily life. I feel so much better having done this work!

Another pretty good book on manifesting, very similar content to a lot of other books,but good, friendly writing style, and some really good chapters throughout. Worth reading.

This simply written book manages to distill the teachings of Ernest Holmes’ Science of Mind (which I’ve been studying for more than a year) into a very readable book for the masses. In fact, they practically spoonfeed the reader with how to effect specific changes in the areas of health, success, prosperity and relationships. I particularly liked how this “change your mind and change your life” program is related in the first few chapters to the quantum physics tenets of the interconnectedness of all things in the universe, and Bell’s Theorem of instantaneous change. However, I thought the use of the word miracle was cheesy and maybe somewhat misleading, in that the authors define a miracle as “an unexpected and dramatic change for the better in one’s life”. Not our usual water-into-wine association with that word. That marketing ploy aside, the book is, as the sub-title says, full of guidance for transforming your life.
