by Ernest Shurtleff Holmes, Jesse G. Jennings (Foreword)

The perfect pocket guide of daily meditations for the new millennium, Creative Ideas is just as inspirational and insightful today as when it was first published. In each of the short affirmative prayers of Creative Ideas is a forceful statement of thought’s manifestation—a direct link to the realization of your creative ideas. Those familiar with Ernest Holmes' writings and the Science of Mind principles that he espoused will enjoy the long anticipated reunion with some of their favorite passages; those who are new to them will delight in the discovery of these classics of New Thought. All readers will find Holmes' meditations to be practical, insightful, and more than satisfying food for the hungry soul.

Dr. Ernest Holmes (1887–1960) is known to millions as a great leader and teacher; and to even more as the author of many inspirational books and tapes, such as Creative Mind , This Thing Called Life , and The Science of Mind . A teacher, writer, and lecturer; Dr. Holmes founded the Science of Mind philosophy in 1927, and regularly appeared on television and radio. His signature saying, "There is a power greater than you in the universe, and you can use it," became well known over the years. By taking a clear and simple approach in researching the wisdom of the ages from many disciplines, Ernest Holmes developed a practical, spiritual approach to living an abundant life and created the Science of Mind. Since early 1900s, the Science of Mind Textbook has been the cornerstone to Religious Science churches around the world.

Reviews

[Marianna · Rating 5 out of 5]

4.5 stars - A very beautiful book of prayers, each based on a Bible quote and organized according to themes. I love Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way and noticed this book was highly recommended by her in its suggested reading list and that she wrote its foreword, which is why I got it. I'm otherwise not familiar with the work of Ernest Holmes and at present I'm not particularly drawn to it, but this little book of what Julia refers to as affirmative prayers is indeed very beautiful and uplifting.

This was a great little devotional book of positive affirmations that I would recommend to anyone who believes they deserve an abundant life.

[Elizabeth Olson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Prayers by Ernest Holmes, arranged according to theme, that are as fresh and powerful today as when they were originally published, decades ago. An excellent bedside companion, to start or end a day in high consciousness.
