The Four Spiritual Laws of Prosperity: A Simple Guide to Unlimited Abundance

First, I am not a religious person... so I had some struggles getting through the first chapter or so. However, once I was able to "change" some of the wording to adapt to my personal spiritual beliefs, I found the concepts and steps very meaningful. I began the book in Dec 2011 and by Dec 2012 I had amassed much more prosperity in my life. Not only did my financial prosperity improve greatly, I started to practice financial integrity in everything I did.There were many challenging steps, and this was a very difficult path. Because I couldn't grasp the concept of tithing, I changed that word to offering - so that if fit with my understanding. That may seem a small adjustment for many, but for me it was a hurdle I had to cross.THE MOST difficult part of this guidebook was giving 10% of my gross income to where I received my spiritual food. When I wrote that first check in Feb 2012, my hand was literally shaking as I wrote the amount and signed the checks. I had NEVER done anything like this in my life -- so this became an enormous / giant leap of belief and understanding of the book's concepts. After the first month, it gradually got mentally "easier" to write the checks, and by the six month mark, I looked forward to reflecting back on the month of all the places I had received good energy and "spiritual food."What changed...? At this stage -- now at 12 months -- I am much more at peace in my life. I have experienced abundance in ways that I could not have imagined. My relationships with family, friends, and in business have dramatically improved. Financially, my income increased 10% in Jan 2013, but before I could even get to the end of Jan, it increased another 26.6% that starts in Feb 2013 (as I write this).I don't know if this book will help you, but I followed most of the suggestions, completing a financial inventory, and putting emphasis on offerings. I also made sure I cleaned up all of my past "financial baggage" (which was revealed to me over the year). Is it working? YES! And I wholeheartedly endorse this book to all that are looking to increase their prosperity. It WAS NOT EASY, but it is working for me and I was able to make changes that have improved my life.

This has been an interesting book. I am one who believes you can learn something from any book, and this one was a good example for this rule.These 4 laws are something I was familiar with, but this writing puts them in a new light, with empowering stories to give them strength. Ultimately, to have any results is a matter of trust and practice, reading is just the beginning.I was super surprised to learn this was published first in 2005, it has a sort of a flavor from that period, but I loved the witt and the fun approach of the author.I only learned about this author and book recently from Denise Duffield Thomas' newsletter and I was surprised how the whole vibe of this book is more religious than spiritual. But this is, also, its greatest asset.Overall, this has been a read full of surprises, interesting and inspiring. Would I recommend it? Only if you read the table of contents and are ok with the themes and the (friendly, not dogmatic) religious vibe of it.

I’m 24 years young, and my childhood dog just passed away.. this trauma, this level of heartbreak.. ugh, my chest was tight for days. I would pull myself together, just to fall apart at the seams again. We were life partners, and best friends. I miss her so very dearly.This level of hurt and grief can either take you in one of two directions. You can spiral, or you can grow. The first three days after I put her down, I spiraled. I was working a s*x worker job that I wasn’t proud of, and living day by day dragging my feet. Once I lost my dog, I truly felt like I had no purpose.Hitting rock bottom, getting drunk and bawling on the floor every night praying for God to help me heal, I finally picked up this book. I’m so glad I did.This book has taught me so profoundly that the grass is greener where you water it, bad things happen FOR you, not to you; and you will find your purpose in everything that you do with purpose.I started her 21 day no negativity challenge and started repeating affirmations/goals every morning. I will prepare myself for receiving His Kingdom. I feel so very blessed for God shutting so many doors in my face because he wants more for me.Thank you Edwene, for the reality check.
