Helped through heartbreak.
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.

A thought-provoking book but her formula does not connect so well
I decided to read this book after hearing of 3 millionaires who recommended it to a penniless friend of theirs.Here are the ideas I liked:• Give 10% of your income to support materially whoever supports you spiritually• If you want to earn $120,000 a year, give away $231 each week (i.e. ten percent of the target) to attract the higher income.• Honor your vocation to earn money in the right way• Complaining repels moneyHer 4 laws, which she calls spiritual, are tithing, forgiving, aiming for goals, and honoring your vocation. But she doesn't connect them so well. The opposite of her laws would be what poor people tend to do:• Do work you hate• Forgive no one• Donate nothing• Wander without directionThroughout the book she talks about being broke even after she was tithing and aiming for goals, which makes sense because she was still denying the vocational call of her soul. She also says that goal-setting catches the rewards that tithing brings. Really? How? She doesn't explain it. As a side note, forgiveness apparently holds together the universe so I guess it may even hold money together? Howard Wills has some formulaic prayers for this and he offers them for free on his site.Irrelevant quotes are sprinkled throughout the book that are supposed to inspire but I only found them distracting. She tells some great stories though!This book didn't help me become prosperous so I continued to search, and eventually I discovered a real secret of money: inner peace. Inner peace attracts financial opportunity. Whenever I would meditate, someone would contact me for my services. Coincidence? Well, the source of money is God, and God is peace. There is even an English proverb about it: Peace makes plenty. Unfortunately, after years of travel, I shattered my capacity to experience peace, so I decided to knuckle down and find the REAL spiritual laws of prosperity, and eventually I found them:• Attract money: On Saturdays meditate for so many hours that you awaken a feeling of compassion that lasts the entire week. I like to meditate by watching my thoughts. It makes the mind work. If you’re too occupied to meditate for that many hours then mentally repeat the money-mantra found in the book Japa Yoga for 20 minutes each day. If you worked inwardly and didn’t attract any money, then connect with the right people and perhaps the right work so that Nature has vehicles through which to help you. If you’re still struggling, scrutinize your behavior to determine whether or not you are breaking the law or stealing in any way. Though if you’re not sure, fasting on Fridays is the most effective way to temporarily relieve yourself of your most recent karma. So, I would summarize the above advice in four words: Fridays fast, Saturdays meditate• Appreciate money: Thank The Infinite for the constant love and blessings you received• Donate money: Give 10-50% of your gross income to your source of new ideas and inner strength. If you lack such a source, give it to bearers of Truth and Justice.After years of research I also came across the following statements that brought even greater clarity:★ “Love is never completely without resources, nor is it ever rich.” — Plato, Symposium: 203e★ “Whoever does not fulfill the Will of God will become both rich and poor, while the one who does, will be neither rich nor poor.” — Beinsa Douno, The Wellspring of Good: The Service to God★ “On Saturdays seek the kingdom of the soul and all things will be given to you.” — Jesus, The Essene Gospel Of Peace, Book Two★ “We are not rich by what we get and hold; the only things we keep are those we give away.” — Jesus, Aquarian Gospel, VII 37:18The 4 Pillars:Work spiritually (Sabbath, or give 10% of your time to God)Work materially (Talents)Give spiritually for what you received materially (Gratitude)Give materially for what you received spiritually (Tithing, or give 10% of your money to God)Check out the comment below.

Stop searching, this book will change your life!
Bought this book last month, started applying the 1st law before finishing the book : began seeing results I have never seen before! Continued reading, applied the 2nde and 3rd laws, more comes to me (a lot of jobs offers, serendipities), plus, I feel so good, I am more confident with myself. The 4th law is a process of life, I am growing.Buy the book and read The game of life (Florence Scovel Shinn), and you are complete.Thank you to "Abouding Interest" who's review decided me to buy this book! Read her review.

Tried it for a year - The Four Spiritual Laws of Prosperity
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.

I'm not religious
I've read the first chapter on Tithing and this book is not for me. I am spiritual and I believe in the good of mankind but this book is very religious so not for me.
