Dynamic Laws of Prosperity (Paperback)

by Catherine Ponder (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

This book is the result of several recent recessions and many years of lean living. Nobody likes recessions and nobody likes lean living - and indeed nobody should like them. When the author was at her lowest ebb emotionally, physically, and financially, she learned about the power of thought as an instrument for success or failure. This book plainly shows how prosperous thinking has helped people in every walk of life to experience these results. Furthermore, it shows how prosperous thinking can do these things for the reader too.\n

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book on prosperity you'll ever read, March 14, 2002

By A Customer

I'd give this book a 10-star rating if I could.

I've read many self-help, motivational books over 20 years time and all have help in some small way. However, this book has helped me in a MONUMENTAL way.

The book is an amazingly comprehensive explanation on how our attitudes and thoughts shape our lives, and how to approach all of life's situations so that you are prospered. The book explains that the word "rich" means having an "abundance of good" or living a fuller, more satisfying life, and that you are prospersous to the degree that you are experiencing peace, health, happiness and plenty in your world. So as well as becoming financially independent and secure, all areas of your life prosper, such as relationships, health, ect., and really, that's what everyone wants, even if they don't realize it.

Another section of the book says that if you persist in expecting and talking about prosperity and success, there is no power in heaven or earth that can prevent them from appearing in your world. What a powerful, true statement.

Catherine Ponder states: Desire is God tapping at the door of your mind, trying to give you greater good. She explains that it is NORMAL to want to prosper! This made a huge difference to my way of thinking.

I bought this book in the summer ..., read it once, immediately re-read it and highlighted passages, and am now in the third reading in the spring ... and am writing out affirmations and practicing what the book suggests. My life wasn't even in bad shape when I picked up the book, and yet I felt something missing. As I apply the principles of this book to my life, layers and layers of sadness and a certain depression I didn't even realize I had are dissolving.

The "dynamic laws of prosperity" are words I've been searching for all my life, and I am thankful, greatful, and appreciative to have finally found them.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Book That Never Gets "Shelved", July 20, 2003

By	Julie Jordan Scott "Writer, Life Coach - Owne... (Bakersfield, CA United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This classic book is one I return to, over and over again, for inspiration and refreshment.

Catherine Ponder writes what she learned and teaches us how to take that knowledge and integrate it into our lives. Its length makes it encyclopedic. Having a challenge? Turn to the corresponding chapter.

I recommend reading it through once and then going back to the chapters that speak especially to you and using those techniques first.... You will reap much gold along the way, guaranteed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dynamically Magnetic , June 19, 2006

By	Pie Dumas "piewriter" (Charlottesville, VA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Ponder's book is, simply put - life-altering!
This book was recommended to me by a psychic in 1986 because she was concerned about my constant focus on scarcity. I ignored her advice and continued a downward spiral into financial calamity. A year later, an astrologer friend insisted I read Ponder's book. I bought it and began pouring through the tome. It seemed overwhelming, I just didn't "get" it, but I kept reading and doing the affirmations. I took the book with me to the beach, to the library, on the commuter train to NY. I took the book with me to bed and rested it on the pillow beside me... hoping it would transform me during the night.
After about 6 months, things started popping! After one year, my life changed dramatically. I had begun a new business in 1986 and wasn't attracting clients because my attitude was seriously in the crapper. I was focusing on not having any clients and continuing to manifest the same scenario.
Ponder's style was ground-breaking. It's a huge book, sometimes daunting. If you're a slow reader like me or overwhelmed by books with more than 274 pages, just meditate first, close your eyes and open the book - wherever you "land" is where you're meant to read.
The material will always be timely, essential to reaching your goals and DYNAMICALLY magnetic for attracting exactly what you want. The practices have catapulted my life to a more successful strata, completely changed my thought patterns and behaviors. Highly recommended.
