Wonderful Encouragement!

"The way one thinks has a powerful effect upon one's ability to perform effectively," writes Dr. Peale on page 23 of this wonderful book. Like most of his writings, this book is designed to help readers think thoughts that directly influence them in a positive way.He has a wonderful section on the power of writing and reading in the early portion of this book.Later he talks about God's guidance. He writes, "God does for a fact guide prayerful and believing human beings" (p. 120). He has some insight on perception, observing, "But I have always noted that to every disadvantage there is a corresponding advantage" (p. 142).I give this book my highest rating. It is packed with sound advice.
