5.0 out of 5 stars A heavy duty, thought provoking book you will review often., October 24, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: The Miracle of Right Thought and The Divinity of Desire (Paperback)

Marden's Miracle of Right Thought is an incredible, deep thought provoking masterpiece. At 28 bucks for a paperback, it has to great. It was well worth the price. Each time I read this book my cost per use has been reduced.
This book is for you if you want to learn how to think right on all decisions we make daily. The topics are wide ranging from expecting the best, taming the blues, the divinity within you and raising your children.

This is not a religious book, although he does mention that there is a creator. One chapter that every parent would want to read is the raising your children chapter. This chapter gave me new goals to strive for in the relationships I am building with my children. The book is worth the price just for that chapter.

Spend the $28, this will be one of your favorites and most often read books. It is difficult to put into words how great this book is. Men of this level of insight and wisdom don't come along often so take advantage of it by checking out The Miracle of Right Thought.

5.0 out of 5 stars A BOOK TO LIVE BY, February 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Miracle of Right Thought and The Divinity of Desire (Paperback)

This book's first copyright date is 1910, and the content of it is just as true today as it was back then. His insight into human nature and what makes people tick is amazing. He tells you to overcome your fears and doubts because they are so life draining. I enjoyed this book because of the way it made me look at myself and not others for the way my life is. It made me realize that if you think negative thoughts, your life will reflect what you think about. This book is a must have for every household. It should be read and explained to children and re-read when they are older. It will change their life as it has changed mine.
