2012 Reprint of 1936 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. This book is designed as a series of twelve lessons. In each of the lessons the author has attempted to explain man's lawful appropriation of the supplies spiritually and electrically provided by God. When we understand and adjust our mind to the realm or kingdom where these rich ideas and their electrical thought forms exist, we shall experience in our temporal affairs what is called "Prosperity." Born in 1854 on an Indian reservation near St. Cloud, Minnesota, Charles Fillmore spent much of his early life unsuccessfully speculating on real estate and traveling the country seeking a cure for his wife Myrtle's tuberculosis before cofounding the New Thought-based Unity movement with her. Their popular magazine, "Unity," was first published in 1891. The Unity movement eventually oversaw multiple magazines and sponsored publications. Fillmore died in 1948.

5.0 out of 5 stars Charles Fillmore's Finest Work
Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2011
Verified Purchase
I have now read all of Charles Fillmore's books and, hands down, this is his best work in my opinion. His thoughts flow from one idea to the next and his explanations are understandable (not the case with some of his other writings). Some of his language is dated, of course, but his thoughts are surprisingly modern.

If you are familiar with some of the current prosperity teachers like Abraham ( Money, and the Law of Attraction: Learning to Attract Wealth, Health, and Happiness  [...]) then much of what Mr. Fillmore writes will feel amazingly similar; it is stunning to think he wrote this book nearly a century ago. He really was a mystic of sorts.

The difference between Mr. Fillmore's book and today's prosperity teachers is that his offering is centered around the teachings of Jesus Christ (from a metaphysical and metaphorical, not a literal or historical, standpoint), rather than the more universal language of Abraham and others today.

However, Mr. Fillmore began one of the most liberal churches in this country (Unity at [...]) and he is definitely not a biblical fundamentalist. So, if you what to gain a deeper understanding of the abundance and prosperity (in finances, health, relationships, etc.) in your life from a Christian oriented perspective, I highly recommend this book. I have read it once, and now I plan to go back through it with a highlighter. It is a book I expect to re-read many, many times.

Mr. Fillmore's second best book, in my opinion, is  Jesus Christ Heals (Unity Classic Library) . The biography of his life  The Spiritual Journey of Charles Fillmore: Discovering the Power Within  by Neal Vahle is also well worth reading.

I found this to be such a great start in learning about Spirit and the hidden meanings in Christian scripture. It takes your understanding and awareness to a new and higher level. I will definitely be coming back to this book after some more mental\spiritual development.

5.0 out of 5 stars An old classic that is still timely!
Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2017

This New Thought book,with deep Christian connections is a winner. Fillmore's writings teach about the man who is drawn to sensation, the material man versus the spiritual one. Riches lay in ideas, not hoarding or a love of money. Fear of lack of money and poverty stem from our racial thoughts and we have every right to think differently, to think and persist with higher ideas and ideals.
Many of Jesus's parables come to light in a very mystical profound teaching style. Fillmore goes beyond the appearances of things and understands on a deeper level what it means to be rich. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Enhancing My Power of Consciousness
Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2015
Verified Purchase
This book provided the wonderful reminders of the power of consciousness. I am in the process of reprogramming my thinking about substance and supply and my role in determining how these appear in my physical reality. In one example, I contemplate the universal nature of substance until I am conscious of the presence of living substance. In contemplating the universal nature of anything I move my attention to the vast variety of forms that thing takes and my capacity to give shape to these forms. So I ask, "How many forms of substance might I become conscious of its presence today?" Through the power of consciousness, images appear on the stage of my mind and I enjoy these in my inner life experiences.

4.0 out of 5 stars Positive think applied to religion
Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2007

The prosperity doctrine started a long time ago and is used by such preachers today as Joel Osteen. It is a feel good, can do approach to life which I think is beneficial as it tries to give you hope. Does it work - I don't know. But I know it won't hurt you. It's something that has to be practiced like a religion which is difficult for most people to do. Still, I give it 5 stars because it keeps you thinking that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Looking for true prosperity? This is the perfect book if you need real wealth. It teaches you to become a better person overall inorder to experience real happiness and wealth. The author is deep and leave you searching your spiritual side to find meaningful answers and solutions. He encourages you to live in the now which so many of us find hard to do. As a christian I find this book spiritually enlightening and a much need read for todays world. I am a changed woman by the worlds written in this book as it has caused me to even search the bible more delinquently and to seek God in everything. A must read for all.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Favorite Prosperity Book
Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2016
Verified Purchase
I own two copies of this book in print in addition to the Kindle version. It has always been my No. 1 guide in times of financial trouble... Just reading the book eases one's mind and gives you definite steps to follow to help get you out of your trouble, actually rather quickly if you follow it. Many of our financial problems are more about what society or people in general think and not what our own experience is. So, to me, this is a very comforting guide offering a way out and definite steps one can take. You can't have too many copies!

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful and enlightening book
Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2013

I have read a couple of book from Fillmore over the years and I believe this is one of his best. So special and encouraging you simply will find a great quote on every page. This is one of those life changing books that you should read every couple of years. What I love about the philosophy of Fillmore is that you can be spiritual AND also enjoy what earth has for you today. This book obviously is about prosperity and he embraces it along with a love of God. This is seriously one of my favorite spiritual books and I highly recommend it to everyone.

There's a lot in this book. Probably one of the best books on prosperity I've read and written long before more modern writing - of which there is a lot out there. Read it once and go back to it again and again and you'll learn something new. And it works.

4.0 out of 5 stars Prosperity or "abundance"
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 27, 2011
Verified Purchase
For someone writing so early, as 20's and 30's Charles Fillmore gets the spiritual interpretation just right - on Christian lines - which puts to rest all the theological interpretations and historical approaches which have happened since. He's in tune with Eckhart Tolle - that's good enough for me.
