I loaned out my old copy and never got it back, so just bought a new copy....does that tell you how much I like this book?
I've read my share of prosperity books, and this one is at the top of my list with Howard Caesar's audio book, "All About Prosperity".
If you're looking for some get rich quick type book, well this isn't it. I imagine that's one reason why he gave it the name he did, instead of emphasizing prosperity in the title. It's about changing your thinking about finances, health, relationships, all facets of prosperity. If you believe that changing your thinking will change your life, that we can control our thoughts and by doing so improve our over all circumstances, you'll find this book extremely helpful. Eric Butterworth comes from a very spiritual, and yet very practical level. He challenges many ideas that you might have studied in other prosperity books. Without naming her, he does challenge some of the prosperity techniques taught by Catherine Ponders and others. This is not to say that you should read him instead of her. To completely understand prosperity thinking, you should read both perspectives and then be guided by those principles that seem right to you. If you are open to a new perspective, and not bound by a fixed and rigid mind, you will find a lot of helpful material here.

"Spiritual Economics" is based on the spiritual laws and dynamics of abundance. One of the key elements of this books that raise it above a lot of spiritual law type writings is how practical this book is. Eric Butterworth tackles some very complex dynamics in a very pragmatic, understandable way.
Eric's writings are based largely on the philosophy of the Unity Church (a Christian Church of a different ilk). If you have a strong mainstream Christian faith, you may find some of your current beliefs being challenged. I challenge you to meditate on those challenges and work your way through them, expanding and better understanding your faith positions. I'm currently on my second read of this book (the first read of the 230 pages only took a week!) and am amazed at how much more I'm getting out of it a second time.
One of the Quick Tips I mentioned in this issue of ACHIEVE is to ask yourself "How can I apply this to my life?". It was in reading this book that I discovered this question. To get maximum benefit out of this book, keep asking yourself this question. Integrate this material into your life and you will be amazed at how much more you can manifest.
Some of the main ideas I got out of the book are: * I am responsible for all manifestations in my life, i.e. everything. * As I evolve, so does my manifestation potential evolve. * I need to do what I can with what I have where I am to manifest my desires. * I need to build the demand before the supply will manifest. I need to have the containers in which to put the supply once it comes. I need to become the kind of person who experiences that which I want before I can truly achieve it. * If things are tight, something has to give. I need to give selflessly of myself to the Universe. I strongly urge you to go out TODAY and order this book.

The idea of thinking your way to prosperity is really nothing new. I think it was in 1926 0r 1927 that Napoleon Hill wrote "Think and Grow Rich". There really is nothing wrong with these kind of books, in fact, many of them offer many valuable suggestions but the main problem that I have with most of them is that they are basically suggesting that the world "out there" is something ultimately real. Now, this may shock some of you people reading this review, but there is no outer world separate from your own inner consciousness.
I can already feel that I may have upset some people reading this, but the Truth is that we all have to be the change that we desire to see in the world. How can it be otherwise? Things cannot and do not change until we become the change and how do we become the change? We change our thoughts. We change our mental pictures. We change how we interpret the events in our lives. We do this through alligning our consciousness with the Consciousness of God. We begin to appreciate the things that are in our possession now. Whatever we have right now we begin to give thanks for it and proceed from there.
We tend to think that somehow wealth is the acquisistion of material goods. Wealth is a state of mind. Prosperity is an awareness of how blessed we already are! We live in on an abundant planet filled to overflowing with every kind of good thing and yet only a small number of people in this world experience abundant wealth. Not one of us needs to be poor! Not One! We have all been created to live a life that is fulfilling, blessed, and prosperous...that is God's Promise to each and every one of us..."I have come so that you might have life and have it abundantly." This "I" is our consciousness...our inner awareness of God as our all-sufficiency.
There are a lot of people who do all kinds of "mental gymnastics". They pray, they do affirmations, they meditate and yet their lives remain the same. Why? Because they are still hoping that something is going to happen to them rather than knowing that something needs to happen through them. We do not pray to make things happen, we pray so that we can be alligned with the good that is already present...we pray so that we can be the men and women that Spirit ALREADY created us to be! We don't recite affirmations to make something true, we say our affirmations from a place where we know deep in our hearts that this is the TRUTH NOW! We don't meditate in order to reach God, we meditate so that we may remove the obstructions that we put in front of God. "Be still and know I AM GOD." (Psalm 46:10)
The Wholeness of God is present (pre-sent) at every point in time and space. No matter where we may be, the Wholeness and the Holiness of God is. Wherever we are, God's Good is.
This book may or may not make you a millionaire and if you are buying it so that you can get rich quick, you're buying it for the wrong reasons. We don't get rich as much as we get an awareness that we are already rich.
This book is to be read and re-read. It is to be devoured, assimilated, and put to work. It is to constantly reaquaint one with the Truth that God and God's Good are not out there as much as they are "in here"...in our hearts, our souls, our minds...that that which we focus on will be our reality. Whether we focus on inner riches or outer conditions is always our choice in the moment and where our focus (our heart) is, there will also be our treasure (our experience).
May we treasure compassion, trust, love, peace, and understanding. May we focus on all the good that is already within us and let it unfold in beautiful and wonderful ways. May we go within and know that God's Abundant Good is NOW ours to share and to spare. May we all be what God already sees us as; rich, prosperous, and fulfilled in every beautiful way.
Buy the book and let yourself be reminded of how much good is already in your possession.

Is the author a Christian or a metaphysicist?
The author uses vague philosophical terms over and over again. Also he quotes philosophers and other writers/thinkers much more often than he does the scriptures.
