If you are looking for a connection to God and his Power to help and heal you and your life. This book is where to start and end. I have owned this book for 14+ years and keep giving it as gifts to those I love who are in need of spiritual guidance and help. I have seen it work miracles over and over in my life and in the lives of those I have given it to. If you are at the end of your rope hang on, get this book and open your mind and heart to recieve. Thank you Catherine Ponder

This book absolutely blew my mind! I've never found any other book that ellucidates the laws of Divine Prosperity so well! Catherine Ponder does seem to be a person of great wisdom, just by looking at the way she brings the profound biblical symbolism to light; and makes it so easy for the average person to understand and apply it.

There is really nothing new about these teachings: They have been existent and practiced for centuries in India, China, Japan, Arabia, Egypt, Babylon, Mexico and other lands. The biblical texts have captured the same teachings and codified them into symbols and allegories. Unless a person can decode these symbols and understand the profound truths illustrated in them, he would fail to see anything beyond the literalism.

The author makes a certain point: There are certain laws that govern the universe. To be prosperous, one must be aware of what they are and operate them to one's advantage. These include (but not limited to):

-The Art of Blessing
-Success principles derived from the Creation Story
-Success principles derived from the Garden of Eden story
-Success principles derived from the story of Cain, Abel and Seth
-Success principles derived from the story of Noah's ark
-Success principles derived from the story of Tower of Babel.
-Picturing and Visualization
-Tithing and Giving (a very powerful law)
-Receiving and Master Demonstration
-Power of Joy and Beauty
-Power of Planning
-Power of Divine Substance
-Overcoming injustice
-Sex as a success power

The author also stresses that there is nothing "spiritual" or "virtuous" in being broke or suppressed. Abundance is the nature of the universe and God wants every individual to have abundance in their life. The only reason why many people do not have it yet is that they are not yet ready to receive it. Once a person is ready to receive prosperity, they do not have to seek prosperity anymore. Instead prosperity seeks them out! The author shows in this book how we can operate the universal laws and prepare ourselves, so that we are ready to receive prosperity in our life.

Hence, I'd really give this book TEN stars if I could!

I purchased this book at Borders initially for $3.95. Within a month of reading this book I had experienced not only emotional change and spiritual awakening but physical miracles. I had lost my job and was on unemployment. I practiced the daily affirmations for restoration, healing and prosperity. One day during my awakening I went to the mailbox at my apartment looking for my unemployment check and there was a check for $2,600 waiting for me. The next week I received a $800 refund from a program I had signed up for. The blessing kept coming then I found a good job. I moved from my apartment and lost the book. Had to purchase another one. this is the most productive lessons I have ever experienced.

Of all the prosperity and spiritual books I have read, the "secrets" found in this book have helped me to live a life that I only thought I could dream about. Read it today!

Sometimes before I go to sleep, I read a few pages in an inspirational book. Last night, I read a few pages in The Prosperity Secret of the Ages by Catherine Ponder.

Ponder was born in Hartsville, South Carolina in 1927. She was ordained a minister in the Unity Church in 1958. She was one of the first people to write about prosperity consciousness. Her writings and teachings have been so popular, that many consider her a female Norman Vincent Peale.

About 10 years ago, I saw this book on my grandmother's bedside table. I liked the positive affirmations. I liked the stories that demonstrate the power of positive thinking and prayer in people's lives. I liked her basic message, summed up in the affirmation:

There is only one presence and one power in my life, God the good.

You can overcome financial, health and family problems by dwelling on the good in every situation, she says. Even in the face of apparent troubles, you can remain poised, and focus on God's blessings. The more you notice the presence of God the good, the more peaceful your mind becomes. And the more peaceful your mind becomes, the happier and more successful your life.

My mind wasn't peaceful, when I read that affirmation last night. I had been dwelling on bad news. I had been listening to stories about women who go after men who are unavailable, men who are married, or in a relationship.

I was worried about my relationship with my boyfriend. My worry took on dramatic proportions. Would our relationship survive other women's attempts to poach him, I wondered? What a dangerous thought to entertain, and a monstrous waste of energy! Reverend Ponder's declaration of the power of the Spirit promised relief. It planted itself in my mind like this:

Even though my boyfriend is handsome, and charming, and other women may be attracted to him, and he may find other women attractive, there is only one presence and one power in my life, and that is God the good.

In those moments before I fell asleep, I realized for the hundredth time: I'm not a helpless victim. I'm not powerless. I just forget sometimes that:

There is only one presence and one power in my life, and that is God the good.

I fell asleep with a smile on my face. I woke up in the middle of the night, without fear. I felt completely peaceful and safe. God is taking care of me. God is taking care of my relationship with my beloved. There is nothing to worry about. God has my back. God has my front. God is all that. God is all there is. And God is good. This book can help you feel peaceful about life. I highly recommend it.

Catherine Ponder's books on prosperity are excellent. Other authors profess to know the true secrets of prosperity, etc.; but, Catherine Ponder is one of the true originators. I have several of her books; but, I would suggest the "Prosperity Secrets of the Ages" for individuals who have not read any of her books in that it provides a broadbased overview of some the principles she teaches in her other books. If you are desirous of miraculous changes being manifested in your life, adhere to her "sound" principles and watch the changes.....watch for new beginnings that will bring you health, wholeness, happiness, peace, prosperity, success, wealth, and protection.

The book "The Prosperity Secrets of the Ages" by Catherine Ponder contains secret truths which will propel you towards unlimited, infinite and consistent prosperity. Reading her books will definitely manifest the consistent increase of your highest good.

The books share her gifts of insight, wisdom and knowledge which she so very uniquely and generously expresses. Her matter of fact writing style exhibits a refreshing purity which is a sincere actualization of her own love, faith and wisdom. Virtues she has experienced, developed and perfected as she herself exits the Land of Nod and enters her own Promised Land existing within those silver, gold and diamond chord manifestations she has chosen via the guidance and blessedness of God the Creator of All.

If you have an inner sense or know there is a way to master your destiny Catherine Ponder's books will provide the light(carte blanche)for the illuminating realization that you too can have everything.

This is a great book to help you explore the power of the mind. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a reason to think positivly and enjoy life. Catherine Ponder is easy to understand and has clear concise examples.

This is the first time that I have given any book review a 3. And I have reviewed many of them, in the past year.

They have all been 5, because they all really are off the charts. But, having read "Open Your Mind to Prosperity," I had expected "Prosperity Secrets of the Ages," to offer me more, when what I found was that this book is a reformat of her other books.

I was so excited about "Open Your Mind to Prosperity," that I believed that reading another of Ms. Ponder's books, would keep me thinking the thoughts that I need to think to be prosperous. But, I believe that buying one of her books, and choosing to read it again, and again is a better investment of my time, thoughts and vision.

What keeps this from being rated a 2 is that in thinking about tithing to my church, which Ms. Ponder advises us to do, I am rethinking my choice in churches, because I have asked myself whether or not I am receiving the level of spiritual growth from my church that I desire to receive; and whether or not my church has the social system that could offer me what I desire.

This book is the end all book on how to have a successful life including attracting money. This author truly understands the laws of the universe and has for many decades. It is a must read.
