The Prospering Power of Love: Revised & Updated Edition

When I knew Dr. Ponder, she was Catherine Thrower, and she had not yet married Kelly Ponder. She and her son Richard lived in the Unity Church on Highland Avenue in Birmingham, Alabama. They were the Gold Dust Twins, as far as I am concerned, and probably still are!! Richard's favorite saying was Honey, Honey, give me some money!! He never walked when he could run! Catherine always looked like a million. I am sure at that time that she was not paid a lot, but you would not have known it. Sh kept her mind's eye on richness all around her, and it manifested. She absolutely has done every thing she writes about, has proved it. You can too. You will love reading this book.

I love, love, love this author and I love, love, love this book. This book put me in awe. She has shared things with me that has blown me away. If you are having any difficulties with anyone in your life, be it your spouse, boss, children, neighbor, friend, relatives, this BOOK IS A MUST. She talks about how just sending positive thoughts to a person can work miracles. I have tried these techniques and they WORK. God bless Catherine Ponder for her life-transforming teachings.

Catherine Ponder is absolutely one of my most favorite New Thought writers. Her books are uplifting, affirming and she instills such hope and confidence in oneself that one does come away feeling that one "can do it"!Ponder's life story is amazing on many levels and she never seemed to give up when life handed her yet another challenge. With her faith and trust in God, she embraced each and every challenge and kept going, climbing even higher in the process. Meeting Kelly Ponder in her first assigned Unity church in Alabama, it would be another ten years or so before they would fall in love and marry. Their relationship was truly a soul mate union and they fostered each other's growth in tremendous ways, leading Catherine to develop and grow another Unity Church in Austin, Texas. Kelly's unexpected and untimely death was a shock to read, but through the rest of the book, one feels the love and guidance from Kelly to Catherine from the other side throughout her life. Catherine went on to establish more Unity Churches and each one of them has grown and prospered and still continues to this day.Catherine's life story is so uplifting, so amazing and so lived with faith and trust. Her example to us is quite incredible. I have read 4 of her other books and am thirsting for all the other ones! She writes to the reader and provides so many examples of others putting her affirmations and suggestions into action and experiencing life changing results. Her words of encouragement, her examples of affirming prosperity, as well as her unwavering trust and faith in God are constant reminders to us all that we can do it all as well.This is truly a prosperity love story on many levels. Catherine Ponder is one amazing lady, and she has blessed us with her many books on achieving all that we want to achieve. Our fear is our limitation to our achieving our success. Catherine lovingly shows us how to get rid of that fear.A wonderful book from a most wonderful lady! The reader is also treated to pictures of Catherine and Kelly as well as her son. I highly recommend this book to all who are searching. One cannot help but be uplifted after reading a Ponder book! I so eagerly look forward to the next one! Keep them coming, Ms. Ponder, they are so needed!!!

Many of us don't consider it necessary or even religiously correct to pray for prosperity. What, God wants you poor and downcast? Ponder helps us understand the richness of God is ours for the asking. Don't confuse the word - prosper - with only money, or televangelists preaching to send them seed money. Prosperity is much more than just money. It's Health and Happiness, Right Livlihood, Joy and Peace, and much more!! You are a child of God and entitled to His prosperity. He wants you to have it!The Chapter titles: Let's Pray and Prosper, Simple Forms of Prayers That Can Prosper You, An Advanced Form of Prayer That Can Prosper You, Making the Right Contact for Prosperity, The Potent Prayers of Praise and Thanksgiving, Prayer in Pictures, The Prayer of Increase. Great little book, read and re-read, underline, practice and pray!!! And then Keep Praying! There is Capital P - Prosperity In It!

This book was recommended to me by a friend of mine who knew I was going through many struggles in my life. I consider myself spiritual and believing in a Higher Power but unable to define my beliefs otherwise. The message in Catherine Ponder's book is one that everyone can use in every aspect of their lives. And not to mention that it works. Such a simple concept as love, expressed in loving ways can realease and heal so many negative aspects of our lives you wonder why there haven't been more books written on this topic. This book is a quick, yet powerful read for anyone who seeking more in their lives. Quite simply, read it, practice the concepts and watch what happens, regardless of your secular beliefs. Love is the most basic, needed force in the world. Catherine Ponder captures the true spirit of its power and ability to help anyone overcome the difficulties in their lives.
