I have known of this author for a long time and was looking forward to reading this book.

And her teachings seem to be similar to those of Catherine Ponder and other such spiritual writers whom I admire. But she is of an even older generation, and this is perhaps why her writing seems so strange and can be somewhat incomprehensible.

Thus, I could not get through this book, though I may try one of the author’s other works at a later stage, or again perhaps not.

In the present book the writing is repetitive and abstruse. She talks of Jesus Christ, Truth and Good.

She tells us, “My Good is my God”. “I am seeking my Good, therefore, I am seeking my God”.

“The acknowledgement that ‘I am seeking my Good, and my Good is my God’ is telling us a simple truth.”

“The first name of God is Good, and the first name of the Good is God. There is Good for me and I ought to have it.”

She continues like this for a long time.

The book is probably inspiring if one could get through it, which I could not.

If you do wish to tackle the book, you will need to own it, since you will have to devote much time to perusing it.

It contains much about healing and the healing she tells us of is based on denying that any form of disease exists.

“God is your Father and Mother. You have not inherited disease.”

“You are free from all thoughts of disease. God is your life. --- God is your health. You cannot be threatened with disease in any part of your health, nor fear disease, nor yield to disease in any part of your body forever.”

You will see her style from the above quotations and will be able to judge for yourself whether this is a book for you.… (mehr)
