I purchased this book because I was trying to work past my negative associations with money that were limiting me. This was the only book that was very helpful in transforming all the negative feelings and associations that I had with money to the positive and allowing that blockage to open up and flow freely. It was also the only book that I could find that explained to me why I had those feelings, where they came from and how to cure them. I hope it will help others experiencing the same.

I was attracted to this book because it tied together the words "Sacred" "Money" and "Love". So much of what I observe in the world is so contrary to these words (especially together!) that I was intrigued and simply had to see what Wilder had to say.

I was not disappointed.

The book is not very long, so I wasn't sure at first, especially when the first 41 pages were basically all introduction, including a Brief History of Money.

All was interesting AND I wondered... "Where's the beef?"

The last sentence of the "Brief History" hit the nail on the head with these words: "The trick is to reunite money with its spiritual roots. To make money love."

The rest of the book does exactly that: teaches, informs and inspires the reader exactly how to interact with money as love and then live that experience out in the world so as to reunite everyone with that experience.

The informed, inspired reader could take that message and literally become a "Money is Love" evangelist.

Try it out: do the exercises and see for yourself. Money IS love.

I bought this book on the recommendation of an store owner who has used the principles in this book successfully(a $10000 investor). She had heard about it from a customer who had used it successfully. Within one day of reading and beginning to apply the principles and do the exercises, I had solved a seemingly unsolvable financial dilemma. Within 5 days, I had been offered $5000 part time job. I now recommend it to all my friends. There is a chain of miracles happening down here in Georgia (USA). Let's get it spreading throughout the world. If you are ready to change your relationship to money into a loving one, buy this book, read it and do the work.

Barbara Wilder's book is a spiritual gem that guides her readers
in a powerful and thought provoking way. Energy does follow thought....what we think about all day long is what we get...she
guides us down a beautiful path that helps us understand not only our relationship to money but also our relationship with ourselves as we deal with money and others. I highly recommend
this book.

the points in this book, when applied and lived by everyone, the whole world can get transformed. everyone's life is directly or indirectly spinning around the "money". money is like blood in the human body. the more it will flow, the more healthy it becomes.

I feel so strongly about the positive message of this book, that I'm compelled to share it. The concept aligns and expands on Suzie Orman's spiritual base of financial and personal freedom. As you read Ms. Wilder's book, you begin to see that the potential is limitless. Some of its teachings include: *Thought directs energy & energy follows thought. *The universe is honorable; what you put out is what you get. *Money is not paper, but energy. It receives energy from all who touch it. It can carry fear, desperation, anger, but also can carry hope, excitement, and love. PERHAPS THE MOST IMPORTANT AND HOPEFUL POINT IS... *We all have the ability to change the way we view money, and physically change the energy of money from something negative to love, to heal the planet. I URGE ALL TO READ THIS WONDERFUL BOOK!

This book takes a radical approach on money and how healing the issues around money could heal the world on so many levels.
I personally related much to what the author has to say about the 3 Gs in money.....Greed, Guilt, and Gut. It is a small but beautiful book that makes one look at money in a positive way and release if any of the negative attitudes around the money issue; realizing that the source in money is related to our being and our vibration in the world. This book inspired my poem "Where Abundance Lives."

This extraordinary book stages a radical revision of the concept of money, reversing the traditional emotional and spiritual polarities around our most potent form of symbolic exchange from abject fear to unbounded love. Wilder reveals that the underlying power of money derives not from the privileged hoarding of scarce resources, but from the foundational principle of a life-endowing eros. In this sense, her thought resonates not only with New Age prosperity thinking, but with such social thinkers as Marcuse, recent feminist philosophy (including Irigarary) that emphasizes the idea of a connective, mutually supportive love-based economy, and with the dynamic implications for transformation contained in the latest research in quantum physics and chaos and complexity theory. Wilder's idea that the latent power of money is to be found in its role as a vital connecting agent capable of promoting spiritual transformation is both deeply subversive and richly ennobling. Since the catastrophe and turmoil of Sept. 11, her message of healing and love is even more timely and necessary. This is a powerful book!

Money is Love gave me some really powerful insights into how I think, act and react toward money.I left its pages feeling more empowered and more in control of my financial future.Its philosophy grabs you. A must read.
