About the Author

Reverend Dr. Michael Beckwith was ordained as a minister of Religious Science in 1985. He is founder and minister of the Agape International Center of Truth, home of the Agape Church of Religious Science, one of the nation's largest, multi-cultural, multi-racial, trans-denominational spiritual communities. Rev. Beckwith is a distinguished humanitarian, teacher, mentor, songwriter and producer. He is in demand the world over as a speaker and facilitator. He is regularly heard on the Life is Good! radio program and the Agape Television Ministry nationwide.

Ernest Holmes (1887-1960) was the founder of the Science of Mind philosophy and movement. Ernest Holmes's teachings are based on both Eastern and Western traditions, and the empirical laws of science and metaphysics. Science of Mind is a spiritual philosophy that people throughout the world have come to know as a positive, supportive approach to life. These ancient truths have kept pace with and proven their relevancy in today's global village and its expanding technology and warp-speed changes. Author of The Science of Mind, the seminal book on his teachings, Holmes also founded the monthly periodical, Science of Mind magazine, which has been in continuous monthly publication since 1927.

5.0 out of 5 stars Our own available Power to heal, April 17, 2000

By

This review is from: Words That Heal Today (Paperback)

Was Jesus the great example or the the great exception? Holmes asks--and answers--this question, in an in-depth review of the power of Love and Law that allowed Jesus to do the healing that he did.

Jesus himself said that we will be able to do greater things than he. It is these same powers that will allow us to do them and Holmes explains what these powers are and how we are to realize them in our lives.

A great crossover book for the person whose life has been steeped in Christian teachings, but realizes that there is something more: a practical use of the teachings of Jesus.

5.0 out of 5 stars Words that HEAL TODAY, March 11, 2006

This review is from: Words That Heal Today (Paperback)

There is a question that each one of us should periodically ask ourselves when we are faced with a situation or a circumstance that we can't seem to get out under and that question is, "Do I really want to be healed?"

If we are honest with ourselves we will find that no, we really didn't want to be healed of our situation. Please don't misunderstand me. Please don't think I'm being callous. Please don't think I am insulting a personal situation that you may be going through. I am simply (and gently) saying that most of us (not all of us) keep those things around that limit us, scare us, and deplete us not because we really like these things but because we are more scared of the alternative. Who would we be without our problems? What would people think of us? We give too much emphasis on other people's opinions of us.

Why?

Jesus said, "Have I not said ye are gods..." Why haven't we accepted, embraced, and embodied this message of Truth and Life?
Why do we still think...no matter how metaphysical/or spiritual we might claim to be...still insist that Jesus was, is, and will always be "IT" and we're Sh**. He said, "Come, follow me..." The SAME LIGHT that guided Jesus can guide us if we are willing to "drop our nets" and follow our INNER TRUTH.

We can heal and we can heal TODAY...in this moment...NOW...

This classic book by Ernest Holmes shows us how we can do this in practical ways. I do not think that Truth can be taught as much as caught. Truth is an awareness, a consciousness that each one of us awake to and the more we are willing to consciously evolve, the more our world will heal. The world needs your awareness, your LIGHT, your LOVE...the world needs YOU that is why you are here.

Peace be with you now and forever!

5.0 out of 5 stars This Book Transcends Religion, May 9, 2009

This review is from: Words That Heal Today (Paperback)

I have had this book for a long time. I read it years ago, and I am just reading it again. I am a 51 year old who was raised christian, and was required to attend church a minimum of 3 times per week growing up. I am not one of those people who resented that, in fact I loved going to services, as well as all the related activities that came with church membership.
Nonetheless, as an adult I found myself questioning some of the christian disciplines I had been taught. Since then, I have studied many other spiritual philosophies, you name it, I have had some exposure to it.

The thing I LOVE about this book (and the entire Science of Mind Philosophy), is that it totally supports what I love about christianity, while also supporting what I love about other spiritual thought systems. For me, it erases the separation that seems to exist between 'religions'.
Anyone, from staunch christians, to die-hard new-agers, would be hard pressed to find anything disagreeable about this book.

And last but not least, the title of the book is right on. The words in this book go a long way towards healing separation, fear, sickness, or any other negative earthly condition you are experiencing. In fact, it is my belief that if we could set aside our egos, have 100% belief in these words, AND live our lives accordingly, we would experience what it truly means to be one with God!
