Summary: What a Book!
Review: What a legacy! What a man! What a ministry! What a God he served. As the Bible says, his works continue to speak even though he (Dr. Peale) is no longer in this dimension. This book describes his secret. He writes, "...the simple affirmation of the love of God combined with human love possesses an astonishing healing property. Just love people in the name of Christ and in His spirit, and there is a released power that within itself possesses the power to induce healing."Like his other writings, he lays out the principles, and tells how he implements them in his own life. He talks about a man named Dave Henderson who "was a blessing to everyone he met." Now that's a worthy goal! Dr. Peale makes it clear he is not talking about self-reliance, but Jesus reliance when he states, "it is belief--not belief in yourself--but belief in Jesus Christ that gives power." Another common theme reinforced in this book, as in his other writings, is God's guidance. It is a promise of Scripture. Dr. Peale gives examples of how he's experienced this in his own life. He continually emphasizes that "self-improvement" is only possible through God's power. "The name of Jesus is sacred beyond all names," he writes. This book will enhance your life because it will teach you how to use faith in Jesus to draw upon the power of God to radically change your life in practical matters.
