This book is one to read and study over a 12 week period as the author suggests. It contains 12 lessons in learning how to manifest things in one's life while becoming the person you want to be. A mind-blowing book!

This review is from: Basic Principles of the Science of Mind: Twelve Lesson Home Study Course (Paperback)

Bailes was an early Church of Religious Science minister. This book is a well-written explanation of Science of Mind ideas, less a "tome" than Ernest Holmes "Science of Mind", which was the foundation work for lectures and meetings from which the church more or less evolved. Although Science of Mind writers tend more to argue for their ideas than to really "evangelize a faith", this work has the slightest flavor of an evangelical work. The reader should not worry that it is off-putting, however. It is readable and its ideas are easy to access. If you wish to understand new thought ideas and an argument for their practical application, this is a good place to start. You may not be a convert (I am not), but you can find a good bit to understand what these Californians were doing, and how it links up with the entire new thought movement.
