I've read several of Goldsmith's books and "The Art of Spiritual Healing"..has to be one of the best that he ever wrote. It gives simple instructions and universal applications to "heal" any "dis-ease". I would highly recommend it to anyone who wanting to gain a greater understanding of their role in healing themselves and others (regardless of whether you're Christian, Muslim, Yoruba, or any other religion). Goldsmith's truth is universal and it simply works!

I have read (and reread) many of Joel Goldsmiths books.
The Art Of Spiritual Healing was the first one I read, after finding it on my father's bookshelf when I was about 18. It left a very lasting impression and in fact Goldsmith, through this book, set the yard stick against which all my other explorations into health and healing have been measured.

I've always felt that no matter what approach to health and healing I am looking at, it is always (in my opinion) dealing with symptoms and this includes all the natural and alternative approaches. Spiritual Healing (as beautifully described and successfully practised by Goldsmith) is the one exception. It goes to the root cause.

Of course, many are not ready to go to that place and for some such folk I am sure this book would be a displeaser. If, however, you have a sincere interest in what true healing is really about then please read this book. It is clear, simple, concise. It effectively covers the essential information of what spiritual healing is, how it is practised, it's effectiveness (through Goldsmith's many years of successfully treating thousands of clients), and it's attainment. Spiritual Healing, after all, is a capacity that will all have yet we must wake up to it and attain the fruits of that awakening.

Much of Goldsmiths other books will most certainly assist you in that path to awakening to the Truth of who and what you are, and your capacity to function as a Spiritual Healer, and hence I highly recommend his other books too. If you've read nothing of Goldsmiths work then this book is a great place to start.

I wish you all the best of health,

To become conscious of the Christ within, one has to be still and let go, only then can one become affective in spiritual ways.

In this book Joel Goldsmith makes one realize that God doesn't fulfill our needs and desires. Prayer is not asking for healing but becoming present to the Christ within. Only than will healing begin.

To practice The Infinite Way one must become Christ conscious, this happens when one lets go of pre-conceived ideas and lets grace enter and complete the process.

There is much work in this process but it is worth all the struggle to come into the presence of God within and then realize the presence in others.

The world has always been in need of healing - of something. In this book, Joel Goldsmith gives us the principle of TRUE healing, whether it be physical, financial, emotional, or any number of other things from which the world continues to suffer.

Spiritual healing, today, can be likened to crystals, candles, aromatherapy, psychological mumbo-jumbo, etc. Joel Goldsmith, through his personal dedicated journey, goes to the ROOT of the problem and one which individuals very likely have no cognizance of, unless, of course, they've already read other of Joel's works and have discovered the secret.

This is one of the first books I ever read by Goldsmith and I started in the early 1980s. I bought it mainly for curiosity but it soon appeared on my 'Best of the Best' book list and continues to be so.

In clear and descriptive prose, Goldsmith shows anyone the "why" and the "how" of effective prayer for spiritual transformation and healing. It does take the commitment of time and practice, but anyone on the spiritual path will benefit from this book. One doesn't need to spend a lot of money, go through elaborate rituals, or have another intercede on one's behalf to establish a connection with God/Spirit/Divine Mind, one only needs to "think no thoughts" and let the presence of the Infinite fill one's mind. Really.

This is one of the fundamental texts for any student of spiritual healing. How lucky we all are that Joel shared his understanding with us. Enjoy this book and use the principles. Working together, we can lift the world.

This book reminds me of ideas I learned in Christian Science Sunday School, but he doesn't give it the solidly spiritual basis Mary Baker Eddy does in her Science and Health. His recognition of the healthful effects of getting closer to God will be helpful to many, but to me the view of man as wholly spiritual provides the only logical basis for spiritual healing. I'd also like to think that the medical profession will someday recognize the efficacy of spiritual treatment for physical illness. 'Works great for me!

Goldsmith's ideas are fleshed out well in _The Art of Spiritual Healing_. I think that it follows well from _The Art of Meditation_. These ideas are not for people that are stuck in some sort of doctrinal stagnation. Those who rely on spouting cliches and confuse participation in rituals with spirituality will only be confused. The proverb that "The teacher appears when the student is ready" applies here. This book is for open minded seekers only.

Joel Goldsmith's book, "The Art of Spiritual Healing" is well-written and so helpful that I immediately sent copies of it to
three people I know, who either needed a physical healing, had
a relative who needed healing and the last one is a pastoral
counselor with a PhD in Christian Psychology and a Masters in
Pastoral Counseling. I just lent it to a fellow member of my church. I am a Christian Scientist and in our religion we learn
to heal as Jeus, the Christ, did. Joel was a very successful
Christian Science practioner before startiing his own movement,
"The Infinite Way". I was considering becoming an inter-faith
minister several months ago, after attending many different churches, but I kept coming back to the Christian Science church
and then one Wednesday I attended a Quaker Meeting ( non-programmed) where you sit and listen to God the first half hour.
I got my answer. I don't have to be a minister: baptize babies,
marry people etc. in order to serve God and my fellow man. I
decided to re-join the Christian Science church and perhaps I
will one day be a C.S. practioner. I've always wanted to help
people and in recent years to heal people. This book is an
invaluable aid to healing oneself and others. I can't recommend
it highly enough.The Art of Spiritual Healing

This book is one of many written by an American Christian Mystic. Truly insightful. A wonderful guide to an individual's spiritual development.
