Rating: Summary: An amazing story by an amazing woman Review: 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!!!

Rating: Summary: Stars Fell on Alabama Review: For Catherine Ponder fans, this is pure gold! Though we have seen the widom, kindness, and faith of Catherine Ponder in her other works, this book is our first glimpse into her personal life. As usual, Rev. Ponder omits "personal" details--including her maiden name! But we see the development of her gifts as a writer, minister, and pioneer through her eyes -- from a "government girl" in WWII to the founder of her global ministry in Palm Desert. In her memoir, Rev. Ponder shows her determination, gentleness, and Southern heritage most openly in her recollections of her romance and marriage to Kelly Ponder, now deceased. After she asked for guidance from God, she decided to take her first ministerial assignment in a Unity church in Birmingham, Alabama, where Kelly Ponder lived. "I knew for sure I was on my way into a new life," she says, when she heard the song "Stars Fell on Alabama." It was love at first sight for them both, though it would be 10 years before they married since both were building careers. "A Prosperity Love Story" will make you laugh, cry, and go to work, all at once.
