About the author

Dr. Norman Vincent Peale (1898–1993) was a minister and author (most notably of The Power of Positive Thinking) and a progenitor of the theory of "positive thinking".

Peale was born in Bowersville, Ohio. He graduated from Bellefontaine High School, Bellefontaine, Ohio. He has earned degrees at Ohio Wesleyan University (where he became a brother of the Fraternity of Phi Gamma Delta) and Boston University School of Theology.

Raised as a Methodist and ordained as a Methodist minister in 1922, Peale changed his religious affiliation to the Reformed Church in America in 1932 and began a 52-year tenure as pastor of Marble Collegiate Church in Manhattan. During that time the church's membership grew from 600 to over 5000, and he became one of New York City's most famous preachers.

I found this book to be extremely encouraging. It's important to feast on the testimonies of God as they give us hope of His nature in times of doubt. He is still working powerfully in His people.

I have been reading the writings of Dr. Norman Vincient Peale for many years.His books has helped me in my walk with God. I received the Positive Power of Jesus Christ many years ago. Reading this particular book strengthened my faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. I love stories about lives being converted. I recommend this book to any one who feels hopeless, apathetic or who is walking in darkness. To follow Jesus is to walk in the marvelous light

There was a hint of self-congratulation on the part of the author with which I wasn’t comfortable, and the theology and world view were very dated, but that didn’t negate the integrity of the experiences of the people depicted in this book.

Great read for fans of Vincent Peale. It is a good follow up of “the Power of Positive Thinking”. It is basically a book of short stories about people whose lives are changed through a relationship with Jesus Christ. It is a very encouraging read for true believers. I highly recommend this book for people of faith but suggest reading the “Power of Positive Thinking” first. This book targets true believers and seekers primarily. However, the testimonies are life changing and could have an impact in helping people receive God’s gift of eternal life.

Wonderful read full of truth

Very good read, with a theme that puts the truth squarely where it belongs, as well as deservedly credits ones happiness and success in life, on Christ. Pick up a copy and read it, you will not be disappointed.

Heart felt

One of the most inspirational and heart felt books I’ve read in a long time. Dr. Peal was certainly the epitome of a Christ filled Christian, I wish we could go back in time when this country put God, America and family first.

This was awesome

I have the kindle and audible versions. I have heard about Dr Peale through Jack Canfield's books but this was my first book to read. I have since gotten several more. This is awe inspiring. Wonderful accounts of the power of Christ in people's lives.

Historias sorprendentes con transformaciones en medio del terror y el punto más bajo en cada persona.
Muy recomendado!

[Thomas · Rating 1 out of 5]

not practical

Just stories of other people finding Christ and being transformed. Not practical for those seeking Christ right here and now

[Steve T · Rating 5 out of 5]

Norman Vincent Peale discusses as many experiences with folks who were positively affected affected by the power of Christ
