This review is from: Can We Talk to God? (Paperback)

The message of this book is that every individual's good is already available and that anyone ready to receive can build her/his world by means of effective prayer. The ancient principles involved are explained with clarity and understanding. Holmes discusses the operation of divine principle as a law of cause and effect and how, when you impress your thought upon it, it is its nature to take that thought and bring it into manifestation in your reality. But there's something more than the law - an intelligence to which we may go for inspiration, guidance and direction; a power responding to us and a presence existing within us. In the author's own words: "Our communication with God must of necessity be, and always remain, an inner light; we communicate with the indwelling God." This is what the sages and mystics from all traditions have been claiming for thousands of years, and Holmes had a brilliant gift for delivering this ancient message in the 20th century. Not only that, but he has been proved correct in his prophetic vision. Remember, this book was compiled from his lectures in 1934, many decades before the stirring of what is now called "New Age" for want of a better term, and also long before the work of Carl Jung became widely disseminated. I love Ernest Holmes' engaging style and ability to explain difficult concepts in a simple way. Similar authors that I have found to be equally inspiring include Joseph Murphy, Catherine Ponder, Frederick Bailes, Ralph Waldo Trine and Thomas Troward.
