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

This book is inspirational, motivational and dead on with it's very clear, concise action plan. Having read Catherine Ponder, Eric Butterworth, etc., I'd recommend this one above the others. In today's language and very down-to-earth style, Edwene walks you through what it takes to get out of poverty consciousness and into true abundance. And like attracts like-- as we become more positive, we attract more positive things, people, situations and rewards in our lives. It is the science of the self-fulfilling prophesy. You get what you expect... so how do you learn to expect something different? Edwene provides a clear plan on the "how" as well as the "why". Her approach is wonderful, and what's more, this is a fun read. You'll look forward to sitting down and sharing a cup of coffee with Edwene, and you'll get loads out of the conversation! Enjoy & May you go forth & Prosper!

As the saying goes: "when the student (pupil) is ready, the teacher will appear". After years of reading books about self-healing, self-directing, and building meaningful life, this "little" volume did the trick for me. It made me take real steps towards goals I have longed for for years. Mrs. Gaines (what a name!)strips the message to its bare bones, and best of all she IS VERY PRACTICAL, VERY! Whether I will get all she promises in the book or not is beside the point since I've already got through the main obstacle, i.e. - unstuck myself from old fixed patterns that held me for long long time. And that's worth $11.50 isn't it? It may be that different books effect different people, what got me moving was her no nonsense style and practicality, steep in unwavering trust and faith that we can do it and, it is contegious!

And, that is how Edwene Gaines begins her introduction to teaching her readers to let their light shine so brightly before everyone who they contact. Law One: Tithe When I read in this book, "... tithing is the prosperity principle that tends to bring up the most resistance in people," I could almost hear so many others say, "Every church wants you to keep paying and paying to make the the preachers rich." Yet, if those same people were to read the explanation that Edwene Gaines has for tithing, they would understand, accept and appreciate that to tithe ten percent of your earnings is giving back to whomever or whatever has given you spiritual food. This isn't a donation, or a way to control anyone else - it's just a recognition that there is always more, and that your source comes from God. Law Two: Set Goals As I read this chapter, I was amazed of the dreams that I had, starting with my falling into a beautiful, clear, crisp ocean, and rising back up in due time. When I awoke the next morning, I was more relaxed , than I had been in a very long time. And I was truly moved by a quote in this section of the book, "Successs is built through a willingness to play in an increasingly larger and larger arena." Law Three: Forgive Ms. Gaines say's "...unwillingness to forgive is like stabbing ourselves with a knife and expecting the person who did us wrong to feel the pain." What a great analogy about forgiving. In my life time commitment to endlessly grow, particularly at the beginning of my having made this commitment,in 1989, I have been writing emotional map letters, where I typed the worst to the best about what I experienced with anyone in my life. The more that I knew the person, the more details that I wrote. And after writing over 250 of those letters, which of course included forgiveness, and my writing their response, I developed a sort of quiet power within my life, that has given me strength beyond my wildest dreams. Yet, reading the chapter on forgiveness within this book, I clearly see another great tool that I must use to forgive - it's the rewriting what happened from the perspective of all the opportunities that I have as a result of the experiences that I had, that I hadn't wanted to have. I also enjoy the question that Ms. Gaines asks her readers to ask themselves, "Have I put anyone outside of my heart today?" Law Four: Divine Purpose February 18, 1999, the morning that I literally woke up saying to myself, "Okay. Now I know my life's mission. How could it be anything else?" was a day like none other. I had been searching for my mission since 1989, but found it at the point of great material loss, while also realizating that my family role versus who I had evolved into meant another huge change of acceptance, surrender and goodbye. My life mission is "To guide women and girls to earn trust in themselves." When I first asserted this, online and in person, strangers whose belief systems that did not fit into

I just have one thing to say that God sends Edwene Gaines on this earth just to write this book to help desperate people who work hard all their lives and still can't make their ends meet. I am one of those people. It was a miracle when i saw this book at Borders on 9/11/05. I was so dumbfounded when i realized this is the answer i've been searching for so long. It's been almost 2 months since I start using the technique in this book. And the result is unbelievable. I got a raise from my work, I got a unexpected refund check from insurance company,and some other things. I know it's a bit early to say, but i believe it's gonna work. Anyway,i love this book so much i recommend it to anyone and suggest you give it a try

Edwene Gaines does a wonderful job sharing personal stories to illustrate where we all seem to start and how applying the principles of prosperity allow us to choose another path. Her book is easy to read and is an even easier "do-it-yourself" kit for bringing prosperity into your life. I would recommend this book to anyone who knows there is something more and hasn't found it yet!
