 Bad Theology March 26, 2008
I love a good self-help book. I understand that they are not written to replace our verticle relationship with God (God on top, we as His subjects) but know they can help with our horizontal relationships with one another. This book blurs the verticle and horizontal and as a result, promotes bad theology.
I won't wax on about this but give you one basic example. The author states that, God "wants real wealth for you, the wealth of life that is successful in all its aspects: economic, social, spiritual, intellectual, physical."
I wouldn't bring up the Bible in this review, but the fact is, the author does and the author speaks for God of the Bible. So where in the Bible does it say that God's plans for us include economic wealth? Are we failing to live up to what God wants for us when we are sick or lonely? No, we aren't. The fact is, God wants you to have a relationship with him through Jesus Christ and it is there where you will be given true and eternal wealth despite your economic status or health.
So, the author does an injustice to God by representing him as a God who is obsessed with your earthly riches and wealth. That's bad theology and is not helpful at all. I'm going back to Tony Robbins who seems to understand the horizontal value of self-help books much better.

It is often said that science and religion, being preicated on diametrically opposing premises, i.e., one on facts and the other on faith or belief, are irreconcillable. The Author finds accommodation between both in his non-agnostic reconcillation of the belief in positive thinking. Book is highly recommended for reading by the agnostic and those seeking a better outlook. The good Dr. is a great teacher and preacher of many years to his New York City congregation of intellectuals evidenced by this quasi-documentary writing.

amazing results of positive thinking February 8, 2007
I would buy anything written by Dr Peale. His books are upbeat and pretty amazing considering they were written so long ago. They are still true today. I'm sending one to my Mom and brothers. Everyone should buy this book whether they believe in God or need some upbeat help for their own lives.

I purchased this book for my daughter who is 21 years old and having some problems in her young life. She tells me that it is great and has helped her a lot in trying to sort things out. I find it very up lifting and believe it would be of great value to some one that has a problem with depression.
