More About the Author

Ernest Shurtleff Holmes (1887-1960) was an avid student of the world's spiritual systems. He found in these a common denominator he called the Science Mind, a practical philosophy for abundant living. Beginning as self-educated lecturer, Holmes developed a large following of students and went on to formalize his work by founding Science of Mind magazine, an educational institute, and the United Church Religious Science. His writings have inspired the work of countless clergy, business leaders, physicians, and psychologists and have helped to shape the guiding principles of the modern human potential movement, both spiritual and secular. Born and raised in Maine, Holmes spent much of his adult life in California.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best of Ernest Holmes' beliefs and wisdom!, July 13, 2004

This review is from: Love and Law (Mass Market Paperback)

This book is of immense value! It is not a religious book, but rather a philosophy and psychology and more of a positive thinking New Thought book. It has become my favourite Ernest Holmes book in my collection. If you don't have time to read Science Of Mind, which is a very thick book, then read this first for a concise version where he talks about the principles of Science of Mind in an informal way. Some chapters are taken from his lectures, and I think he expresses his ideas very well in this book. It covers beliefs, attitudes and wisdom that you may have never read from his other more formal books like Science Of Mind, "This Thing Called You" or "Creative Mind and Success".

There is a questions and answers part in each chapter where he answers questions. This is the part which I like the most. He talks about things which he never revealed in other books, more personal issues and how he overcame his own beliefs of poverty etc. Then each chapter ends with him affirming - I learn from this part how he actually takes up an affirmation, how he neutralizes all doubts and fears and opposing thought, and how he makes the affirmation undeniable and undoubtable.

The first time I read this book, I followed his method of affirming for my health, and I kept repeating it, and in 10 minutes I can see and feel improvement! I was filled with joy and energy. Then I took up a thought for someone and affirming goodness and happiness into her life, and she calls immediately after that in a joyful voice from another country! Recommended!

This review is from: Love and Law: The Unpublished Teachings of Ernest Holmes (Hardcover)

This book is filled with the unpublished teachings of Dr. Ernest Holmes, author of the Science of Mind and Founder of the Religious Science movement. As you read this book you feel a sense of sitting in the classroom with Dr. Holmes. His inspiration, enthusiasm and dedication to Truth is infectious! This is a brilliantly edited masterpiece. This book truly illustrates why the Science of Mind is the Philosophy for the New Millennium. No one has given us the Truth of Being as clearly and easily understood as Dr. Holmes since Jesus. Thank you and bless you, Marilyn Leo!!!

This review is from: Love and Law (Mass Market Paperback)

Ernest Holmes was truly a man inspired by God. He succintly and methodically informs, teaches and demonstrates his teachings. The Mind of God is truly our mind. Awareness is everything. Ernest Holmes has turned religion into methodical science and law. Love is law. A must read for inquisitive minds seeking more of God and a clearer spiritual walk.
