You've heard much in recent years about positive thinking. Out of the recessions and lean years another term has been born "prosperous thinking." The word "prosper" means "to flourish, succeed, thrive, to experience favorable results." This book plainly shows how prosperous thinking has helped people in every walk of life to experience these results. Furthermore, it shows how prosperous thinking can do these things for you, too! As you read this book, chapter by chapter, you will automatically begin to develop the power of prosperous thinking, and, almost as easily, you will begin to reap a harvest of prosperous results.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed in new publisher, August 19, 2009

I've owned the DeVorss publication of The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity for many years. I bought this version for a friend. I was very disappointed in the new layout, the typographical errors, and sections left out. For example, Chapter Six, "The Prosperity Law of Command" is "The prosperity law or command" "or" in place of "of." There was a section, about 3/4's of page long missing in one of the chapters. The only reason I gave it two stars is that it is the book written by Catherine Ponder. I suggest that you buy a used copy of the Devorss publication - the white one with the 15 point sun on the front.

5.0 out of 5 stars Catherine wrote one of the first and best of all the Prosperity Books, April 29, 2007

I have read all of Catherine's books, but the Prosperity book is my favorite. Her affirmations are powerful, and her antecdotes about how others have prospered by affirming goodness and plenty, are heart-warming, and motivational.

She taught us how to "reframe" unfortunate happenings before NLP had been formulated, by putting a positive spin on all situations.

She taught us how to deal with "energy blocks" before anybody was even talking about blocks to energy.

She taught us about "divine order" and truly living in faith, and how that attitude changes everything in your life, for the better.

This book is about creating prosperity that far exceeds just money. It's about opening all the doors and windows in your life and lettng in all of the abundance that's already yours.

If you liked the Secret, you will be bowled over by this book. It offers true wisdom, heart, and a roadmap to creating the life of your dreams.

5.0 out of 5 stars This will probably sound like an informercial, July 28, 2007

This review is from: Dynamic Laws of Prosperity (Hardcover)

touting the "latest fad", but the methods that Ms. Ponder suggests in her book have worked for me. This time, last year, I was struggling. My life was in a mess - financially disarray. I was just out of school. Even though I had gone through four years college and graduate school, I couldn't find a permanent job anywhere. I couldn't even get a temporary job, even though I was signed up with four or five different agencies. At that point, I was desperate enough to try any line of work, at that point, but no one seemed to be willing to take a chance on me, so I ended up home. Last year, around this time, I was literally broke.

But, through some stroke of luck, I ran into Catherine Ponder's books on this site. I decided to check Dynamic Laws of Prosperity out from a library, along with some other books. Little did I know how much her books would change my life. I discovered it was my constant focus on lack that was the basis of my problems.

People might say Ms. Ponder's methods are simply "positive thinking." But it's more than that. It's not just about experiencing prosperity in your bank account, it really affects your whole life. She writes about incorporating daily list making, affirmations, tithing, visualization, etc; in her work. You have to be consistent though, which isn't always easy. You have to do it daily -- never missing a day. That's the hard part. Not everyone's willing to commit that time to make the changes they want.

For the first four months -- little happened. Then I received my first temp job in months. I worked for several weeks there, and did well. Unlike my last job, where I didn't receive work, even after performing satisfactorily, I received yet, another temporary job.

I worried that my prosperity was drying up after the second job, when I received no more temp job offers. Little did I know, that I would receive an interview within two weeks for a job I had literally applied for months before. I had given up on that job too. But, within a few days I was hired for the position, which I just started this week.

I've also gotten back in touch with an aunt I'd lost touch with. We literally hadn't spoken in years. We've reconciled around my birthday around the same time my prosperity was increasing, and it's one of the best things that's ever come out of studying Catherine Ponder's work.

Not everything is perfect. I still have work to do on a lot of areas of my life, but it's still so much better than the misery I was experiencing around this time last year. I'm richer than I've been in a long time. And I'm setting my goals on even higher goals. :)

If you watched "The Secret" this can supplement what you've learned in that DVD, because it gives you specific techniques. If you thought that the DVD was hokey, but you still believe in prosperity thinking, this book is still perfect. It's perfect, even if you don't really believe that it will work. I was skeptical that it would, but it has for me.

P.S. - On an odd note, I had tested her concept by "visualizing" a way for me to get Ms. Ponder's books. I was frustrated when, for months, it seemed like I wouldn't have the money to purchase her books. If her methods work, I thought, why didn't I ever receive her books? I hadn't realized that it was because the need had already been met. Recently, I cleared out an old e-mail account. I discovered in July 2007, that I had received an Amazon gift certificate in January 2007 of which I was totally unaware. The money was more than enough to cover the purchase of several of Ms. Ponder's books:). I now, proudly own copies of all the book titles I ever wanted to purchase from her. It really does work.
