1. “Discover the Power Within You” by Eric Butterworth
Prologue: “According to an old Hindu legend, there was a time when all men were gods, but they so abused their divinity that Brahma, the chief god, decided to take it away from men and hide it where they would never again find it. Where to hide it became the big question.
When the lesser gods were called in council to consider this question, they said,” We will bury man’s divinity deep in the earth.” But Brahma said, “No… that will not do, for man will dig deep into the earth and find it.” Then they said, “Well, we will sink his divinity into the deepest ocean.” But again, Brahma replied, “No, not there, for man will learn to dive into the deepest waters, will search out the ocean bed, and will find it.”
Then the lesser gods said, ”We will take it to the top of the highest mountain and there hide it.” But again, Brahma replied, “No, for man will eventually climb every high mountain on earth. He will be sure some day to find it and take it up again for himself.” Then the lesser gods gave up and concluded, “We do not know where to hide it, for it seems there is no place on earth or in the sea that man will not eventually reach.”
Then Brahma said, “Here is what we will do with man’s divinity. We will hide it deep down in man himself, for he will never think to look for it there.” Ever since then, the legend concludes, man has been going up and down the earth, climbing, digging, diving, exploring, searching for something that is already in himself.
Two thousand years ago a man named Jesus found it and shared its secret; but in the movement that sprang up in His name, the Divinity in Man has been the best kept secret of the ages.”
Butterworth shares the secrets that Jesus shared before his message became the religion about him. This profound book will take you to a different level on your spiritual path, and I promise you will never want to travel the “road” without it!
2. “The Prosperity Secrets of the Ages” by Catherine Ponder
“In this book, I wish to share with you the secrets of one of the most successful men who has ever lived. He was a man reared in lavish abundance, who went about in fine garments, who received a royal education, who was instructed in all the secret teachings of the ancient Egyptians. His sublime strength, faith, and leadership shaped the course of the world. Historians have written that he took one of the greatest steps toward true freedom that the world has ever known. All humanity has been infinitely blessed by his unique achievements.
You can, too!
His accomplishments include author, prophet, emancipator, lawgiver, warrior, and miracle worker. He was considered a shrewd mathematician, and was the inventor of boats, engines, instruments of war, and hydraulics. He was also considered the author of Egyptian hieroglyphics. He “told off” the most powerful and dangerous political leader of his age, and then rescued some two million people from the clutches of slavery and annihilation.
The man? Moses. His success secrets? They are to be found in the first five books of the Bible. Those books are “loaded” with success attitudes that reveal the prosperity secrets of the ages. But rarely, if ever, have the writings of Moses been understood or interpreted from that standpoint.”
Taking the Book of Genesis step-by-step, Ponder shows us the major success secrets Moses used to achieve the heights he reached. “When you are tempted to misuse your power of choice and become upset by appearances of evil in your world, remember that what appears to be evil is only undeveloped good!”
3. “Wise Thoughts for Every Day” by Leo Tolstoy
From the back cover: “During the last years of his life, Leo Tolstoy kept one book invariably on his desk, read and re-read it to his family, and recommended it to his friends. This was his compendium of wise thoughts, gleaned from his wide-ranging readings in the philosophy, religion and literature of many cultures and from his own spiritual meditations. A best-seller in his lifetime, it was suppressed by the Communists and long forgotten.
Now, for the first time in English, here is the final volume of that great work, comprising Tolstoy’s own most essential ideas about spirituality and what it is to live a good life.
Designed as a daybook, Wise Thoughts for Every Day offers insights and aphorisms for every day of the year according to a cycle of thirty repeating themes, such as God, soul, faith, happiness, love, anger, and pride. Tolstoy intended his last masterpiece to help people in their life and work. At once challenging, comforting and inspiring, it is a treasure trove of wisdom and a timeless gift to be cherished by all.”
I truly have found this book to be a treasure, as I read the wisdom and insight for each day, day by day. You will too!
Have a Joyous Thanksgiving!
Namaste',
