Murphy has written a book that is one of the best I have ever read on the powers of the mind. He shows how God is closely united with a person and never leaves him. He also shows how we can tap the power of God by controlling our thoughts and through the means of effective prayer. His book is an explanation of what is taught in the bible, primarily that as a man thinks, so is he. This is from the book of proverbs, in the bible. He shows the steps on how to pray effectively, how what we think about eventually comes to pass, why we should think for ourselves, why we should wish well to others and leave vengence to God, why we should trust only in God and other insightful advice. All of Murphys books are excellent, but this one in particular is simply wonderful. The author has a knack for clear and simple writing that is easily understood and logical.
