Summary: A profound but very rewarding read.
Review: I bought my Dynamic Laws of Prosperity locally but, no matter where it's purchased, it is a profound but understandable book and well worth buying. I have found it helpful to read slowly and only a few pages at a time, along with highlighting significant sentences to help me remember. This is mind- and life-changing information without a doubt.

Summary: Simplistic piffle
Review: I bought this book after my pastor recommended it. I gave up after the first 3 chapters. It's just too hard to believe. Basically, all of her examples sound like this: I was dying of cancer and needed $20,000 for the life saving operation. I had no idea how I was going to get it. However, a billionaire decided that he didn't need $20,000 one day and disposed of the sum by dropping it out the window of his plane. The money landed in my front yard and here I am!
*groan*
In Ponder's world you never have to lift a finger. Whatever you need (money, clothes, furniture, medicine), it's all magically dropped into your lap at the 11th hour.
Get Wallace Wattles' book The Science of Getting Rich for free in ebook format by doing a search with Yahoo. It's far more plausible.

Summary: Best book on prosperity you'll ever read
Review: I have read many (over 100) self-help books, but this one has to be my favorite, because it works. This book was recommended to me by a self-made millionaire who said he was down to his last $20.00 when he was told to buy this book. Five years later, he was a multi-millionaire and he attributes his success to what Cathrine Ponder said in this book.
So I bought the book and did everything she said to do. I started on 11/01/2001 and in two months I have earned $10,000.00! This from someone who earns less than $20,000 in a year. I have purchased 10 extra copies and given them as gifts to the special people in my life, and I am on my third read-through of the book now. The first time I just read it straight through. The second time through, I highlighted the most salient points; and this last time I found myself marking passages I wanted to be able to find later. Nearly one half of the book is now highlighter yellow! This a book I am sure I will re-read many times in the coming years.Ponder's style is very readable and she uses real life examples of how this has worked for others on nearly every page. I can't say enough good about it! Take my word for it, or better yet, don't take my word for it.
Buy the book and read through it yourself. Then apply everything she says to do. Some of it may sound strange, but hey, if what you are doing now isn't getting you the results you want, what do you have to lose? You have much to gain, and you will! I have, and I'm not done yet!

Summary: This book is amazing
Review: I have used the methods described in this book off and on for the past three years. They work! I can surely tell the difference when I don't visualize, affirm, and pray about what I want.

Summary: skeptical but interested
Review: I love Catherine Ponder's books. They are so much better than Wayne Dyer's works which espouse essentially the same message. However; while I enjoy reading her books and they are uplifting, I don't know anyone personally who has had the same sorts of healings, blessings or serindipitous (spelling?)events occur in their lives as she has. My sister is an oncology nurse and has been for 30 years. Not once has she encountered a patient with the sort of miraculous healing Ms. Ponder describes. When I am in need of something specific and pray, I NEVER have that need met as she does. For example, she needed a new dress for a lecture she was giving and had no time to shop--a friend suddenly called to say she had gone shopping and felt that Catherine needed a dress and bought it for her. I believe God would not attend to such simplistic needs and then allow thousands to die of AIDS in Africa. I don't really believe God wants only Americans and Europeans to be prosperous and not third world countries. It makes no sense. Yet I believe her books are comforting and recommend them.

Summary: Catherine Ponder's book is timeless and invaluable!
Review: I read this book many years ago and was totally inspired and helped. Eventually, it fell apart and I got away from its powerful message. But I never forgot its impact.I have just bought another copy so I may once again immerse myself in its wisdom, advice, motivation, and wonderful prosperity-creating affirmations. I would recommend Catherine Ponder's books to anyone and everyone who wants to live life to the fullest!

Summary: Best book on prosperity you'll ever read
Review: I'd give this book a 10-star rating if I could. I've read many self-help, motivational books over 20 years time and all have help in some small way. However, this book has helped me in a MONUMENTAL way. The book is an amazingly comprehensive explanation on how our attitudes and thoughts shape our lives, and how to approach all of life's situations so that you are prospered. The book explains that the word "rich" means having an "abundance of good" or living a fuller, more satisfying life, and that you are prospersous to the degree that you are experiencing peace, health, happiness and plenty in your world. So as well as becoming financially independent and secure, all areas of your life prosper, such as relationships, health, ect., and really, that's what everyone wants, even if they don't realize it. Another section of the book says that if you persist in expecting and talking about prosperity and success, there is no power in heaven or earth that can prevent them from appearing in your world. What a powerful, true statement. Catherine Ponder states: Desire is God tapping at the door of your mind, trying to give you greater good. She explains that it is NORMAL to want to prosper! This made a huge difference to my way of thinking. I bought this book in the summer ..., read it once, immediately re-read it and highlighted passages, and am now in the third reading in the spring ... and am writing out affirmations and practicing what the book suggests. My life wasn't even in bad shape when I picked up the book, and yet I felt something missing. As I apply the principles of this book to my life, layers and layers of sadness and a certain depression I didn't even realize I had are dissolving. The "dynamic laws of prosperity" are words I've been searching for all my life, and I am thankful, greatful, and appreciative to have finally found them.
