The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity by Catherine Ponder
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book by Catherine Ponder is the best on financial prosperity that I have read. I have read well over 200 books in the success genre (mainly older volumes like this one) and Ponder is the most plain & thorough.
Ponder explains that prosperity is God's will but that it requires beliefs and actions on our part. As with many in this genre of books, there are religious elements throughout. The key for any religion reading these books(I am a Christian) is not to suspend your core beliefs but use them as the foundation for what you are reading. Catherine is very specific with use of Bible Verses.
For me, her beliefs aligned perfectly with mine and she also reinforced a concept that was new...and scary for me at that time...tithing. Many of the current and classic prosperity and success books include gratitude but not the principle of tithing.
This work is outlined much in the way that "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill is - with chapters on Self-Confidence, Charm, Persistence, and Power of Thought. It also integrates prayer and affirmations as tools to engage the inherent power in each of us in connection with a loving God who wants to see our needs/desired met.
She uses real word testimonies that give the reader a chance to correlate the teachings to their own lives.
While the overt Biblical connections, including specific Bible verses, will not appeal to those not religiously inclined, those that are seeking in-depth reinforcement to their Sunday Sermons will find deeper revelation in this book.
This book is one of my favorites and would be one of my Top 10...I highly recommend this book!
Good supportive reading for those already schooled in success principles, but would not be my first choice for those new to the genre.
