About the author

(Arabic: جوزيف ميرفي)
Joseph Murphy was a Divine Science minister and author.

Murphy was born in Ireland, the son of a private boy's school headmaster and raised a Roman Catholic. He studied for the priesthood and joined the Jesuits. In his twenties, an experience with healing prayer led him to leave the Jesuits and move to the United States, where he became a pharmacist in New York (having a degree in chemistry by that time). Here he attended the Church of the Healing Christ (part of the Church of Divine Science), where Emmet Fox had become minister in 1931.

In the mid 1940s, he moved to Los Angeles, where he met Religious Science founder Ernest Holmes, and was ordained into Religious Science by Holmes in 1946, thereafter teaching at the Institute of Religious Science. A meeting with Divine Science Association president Erwin Gregg led to him being reordained into Divine Science, and he became the minister of the Los Angeles Divine Science Church in 1949, which he built into one of the largest New Thought congregations in the country. In the next decade, Murphy married, earned a PhD in psychology from the University of Southern California and started writing. After his first wife died in 1976, he remarried to a fellow Divine Science minister who was his longstanding secretary. He died in 1981.

He did 50 years earlier what the Hicks are doing now. Great read

[Pamela Fernandes · Rating 2 out of 5]

I read this book following another one by this author and found the book repetitive. The author has simply taken those concepts and reapplied them here. I love the examples here, but there was not much else. What I did learn was that you end uP being a sum total of all the people you spend time with. Overall, I wasn't too happy when the author says the apparitions at Fatima were all hallucinations. I wouldn't recommend this book, maybe another by this author but not this one.

hmm w sumie no tak jak każda ksiazka murphy’ego; dziwne nawiązanie do Fatimy czy Lourdes, no nie wiem co o tym myśleć; aczkolwiek spoko, same historie

Z reguły nie lubię książek motywacyjnych. Jednak tak się składa, ze książki Josepha Murphy'ego dają mi pewien bodziec do zmieniania samego siebie. Faktycznie po pozytywnym myśleniu na swój temat,a także przekierowaniu uczuć sympatii i miłości do innych dużo lepiej się żyje!! Dlatego polecam każdemu!

An excellent book
