Prospering power of love

From the Author: Of all of the self-help books I have written in the past several decades, The Prospering Power of Love is the one I have most often recommended first, to people who are beginning their inspirational search; second, to people with personal relationship problems, which almost everyone experiences on occasion as a part of their growth into greater understanding; and third, to people who are looking for a book containing a simple yet inspirational approach they can share with others as a means of help.

The "HAPPINESS REPORTS" I have received from my readers over the years on love's prospering power have been multifaceted: Past-Due Accounts Are Paid in Alabama: I have been working on the collection of past-due ac­counts by using the ideas from The Prospering Power of Love. The first results came last night when a young man brought me five $100 bills! Taking Charge after Depression and Pain in the Deep South: I gave a tenant, who had gotten behind in her rent payments, a copy of The Prospering Power of Love. Since she was financially desperate, she was receptive to that book. She was also deeply touched that anyone cared what happened to her. So she began to declare that divine love was at work in her life. Thanks to the power of divine love, she is be­ginning to take charge of her life, rather than continuing to feel that she is the helpless victim of circumstances. I rejoice that the miracle of love is at work, and I marvel at the changes that are taking place within and around her. Romance Comes to a Senior Citizen in England: I have been studying The Prospering Power of Love and, out of the blue, love has come in the form of a gentleman of my age (72 years). He is a widower and financially comfortable. It is his companionship that is so wonderful. I shall always bless that book for the happiness its study has brought into my life.

Over the years, when people have described every conceivable type of problem to me, I have often found myself suggesting that they study The Prospering Power of Love. Why? Because as Gandhi once said, "Throughout history, the way of love and truth has always won."
