Ernest Shurtleff Holmes was an American New Thought writer, teacher, and leader. He was the founder of a Spiritual movement known as Religious Science, part of the greater New Thought movement, whose spiritual philosophy is known as "The Science of Mind." He was the author of The Science of Mind and numerous other metaphysical books, and the founder of Science of Mind magazine, in continuous publication since 1927. His books remain in print, and the principles he taught as "Science of Mind" have inspired and influenced many generations of metaphysical students and teachers. Holmes had previously studied another New Thought teaching, Divine Science, and was an ordained Divine Science Minister. His influence beyond New Thought can be seen in the self-help movement.
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.
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.
