About the Book

This book introduces New Thought, a more-than-a-century-old movement dedicated to the healing of body, pocketbook, and interpersonal relationships through persistent positive thinking and the acceptance of one’s indwelling divinity.

New Thought applies religious beliefs to solve the problems of daily living. Based largely on teachings from the Bible, it also incorporates Eastern wisdom and psychological principles. It is practical, spiritual, and distinctly American. The authors provide historical background, philosophical perspective, and new understanding.

New Thought fulfills the contemporary hunger for a spirituality that promotes both the practice of the presence of God and health, wealth, and happiness here and now. This book is for everyone who wants to go deeper than most popular writing on spirituality and self-improvement, much of which is indebted to New Thought.

New Thought still is evolving; it may yet be the point at which religion, philosophy, and science come together as the most effective combination to move the world to greater peace, plenty, health, and harmony. Whether you accept New Thought or reject it, it is important to learn more about what New Thought is, where it came from, how it is evolving, and how to use it, if you wish. These topics are what this book is about.
