Prosperity
Prosperity is a popular inspirational work by author Charles Fillmore. Fillmore works to explain in life how to achieve goals and aspirations using the common tools that God has provided every human being with. His belief is that humans will achieve the experiences and goals, which will lead to the level of prosperity that they are seeking. Many modern preachers including Joel Osteen, have used this important teaching to show their followers that God wants them to achieve and be successful. Not just achieving goals that are financial, but also those in life that further us as human beings. Prosperity is highly recommended for those who enjoy the writings of Charles Fillmore, and also those who are looking to God to help them achieve a new level of success and prosperity in their life.
Born in 1854, on an Indian reservation near St. Cloud, Minnesota, Charles Fillmore spent much of his early life unsuccessfully speculating on real estate and traveling the country seeking a cure for his wife Myrtle’s tuberculosis before cofounding the New Thought–based Unity movement with her. Their popular magazine, Unity, was first published in 1891. The Unity movement eventually oversaw multiple magazines and ran the town Unity Village in Lee’s Summit, Missouri. Fillmore died in 1948.
User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Always works for me
Not sure I understand why but each time I read this book great things happen to me. If you are open minded with some faith it may help you too.
4 Stars Suspend your preconcieved ideas on how prosperity works
This book is simple in words, although the language is formal and sometimes a bit stilted, the message is loud and clear…prosperity, joy, abundance is our birthright. As an self-proclaimed spiritual seeker I found that this book is in line with other spiritual texts, that limitations, lack and scarcity, are created not outside of us but by our own self imposed restrictions and acceptence on what other people say we should have and what we cannot have. We are our own severest critic. We live in a world where rationality and logic are worshipped. If it does not have a scientific explanation…it’s not real. Do yourself a favor, suspend this judgement and you will get the message of this book. The rest is up to you.
4 Stars Metaphysics and prosperity
I found this a good basic text for getting the spiritual and material aspects of enjoying abundance in a satisfying perspective.
4 Stars Positive think applied to religion
The prosperity doctrine started a long time ago and is used by such preachers today as Joel Osteen. It is a feel good, can do approach to life which I think is beneficial as it tries to give you hope. Does it work - I don’t know. But I know it won’t hurt you. It’s something that has to be practiced like a religion which is difficult for most people to do. Still, I give it 5 stars because it keeps you thinking that there is light at the end of the tunnel.
5 Stars Prosperity (Unity Classic Library)
This book speak the truth of truth’s! A person gains so much much inside on how we attract or keep the flow of prosperity buy the deep seeded fixation we hold in our subconsious minds! This is a must read book!
