John Gray promises that miracles are not just part of the distant past but are here, now—surrounding us every minute of every day. What many of us have lost, however, is the ability to recognize them, and more, to create them at will for ourselves and others.

He says that anyone can learn to create practical miracles by following nine principles that will awaken your inner power and then guide you to change your inner awareness so that your newly created miracles will “stick”.

Kira and Bill Van Ittersum discuss the nine principles and the possibilities that they suggest. Join in to hear for yourself whether this plan will work in your life, too!

The Abundance Book is a little book with a big promise—spend forty days with the Prosperity Plan and watch your life be transformed by the end of the forty days. John Randolph Price has written widely on metaphysics and has helped re-define God as the sole source of our prosperity. God is defined as providing without measure. God is the force of natural law, the all-intelligent force in the universe.

When a neophyte begins the work of manifestation, Price points out that God works through people and material events to provide your supply. However, you should not confuse these material effects with God, the Source of Supply. Price suggests that you allow God to work with you and through you and others to bring your abundance and prosperity. The 40-day Prosperity Plan teaches you to incorporate these principles into your daily life.

Dr. Bruce Wilkinson introduces readers to the New Testament, 1st Chronicles 4:9-10 to discover how Jabez, one of the most overlooked persons in the Bible, says a short prayer that brings him an extraordinary measure of divine favor, anointing, and protection. Dr. Wilkinson suggests that people who pray the same prayer also can release God’s miraculous power—and experience the blessings that God longs to give to each of us.

Kira and Bill Van Ittersum share their personal experiences with the inner power and New Thought ideas about “asking and receiving” while relating Dr. Wilkinson’s personal experiences as well. They suggest how listeners can make this little prayer their own and receive, in Bruce Wilkinson’s words, “. . . supernatural and extraordinary blessings from God” everyday!

Nearly every time you see him, he’s laughing, or at least smiling. And he makes everyone else around him feel like smiling. He’s the Dalai Lama, the spiritual and temporal leader of Tibet, a Nobel Prize winner, and a hugely sought-after speaker and statesman. Why is he so popular? Even after spending only a few minutes in his presence you can’t help feeling happier.

If you ask him if he’s happy, even though he’s suffered the loss of his country, the Dalai Lama will give you an unconditional yes. What’s more, he’ll tell you that happiness is the purpose of life, and that the very motion of our life is toward happiness. How to get there has always been the question. He’s tried to answer it before, but he’s never had the help of a psychiatrist to get the message across in a context we can easily understand.

The Art of Happiness is the book that started the genre of happiness books, and it remains the cornerstone of the field of positive psychology.

Through conversations, stories, and meditations, the Dalai Lama shows us how to defeat day-to-day anxiety, insecurity, anger, and discouragement. Together with Dr. Howard Cutler, he explores many facets of everyday life, including relationships, loss, and the pursuit of wealth, to illustrate how to ride through life’s obstacles on a deep and abiding source of inner peace. Based on 2,500 years of Buddhist meditations mixed with a healthy dose of common sense, The Art of Happiness is a book that crosses the boundaries of traditions to help readers with difficulties common to all human beings. After being in print for ten years, this book has touched countless lives and uplifted spirits around the world.

Creating Affluence: The A-to-Z Steps to a Richer Life

In this remarkable book lies the secret to creating affluence. Here you will discover that you are the dancer and the dance, the creator and the creation, and unlimited wealth is yours merely for the asking. With clear and simple wisdom, Deepak Chopra explores the full meaning of wealth consciousness and presents a step-by-step plan for creating affluence and fulfillment on all levels of our lives.

According to Dr. Chopra, affluence is our natural state, and the entire physical universe with all its abundance is the offspring of an unbounded, limitless field of all possibilities.

This book is so simple and straightforward that it almost seems too easy. Deepak Chopra has mentioned that if you read just five short pages (steps) a day, in time your life will change, and you will begin to spontaneously have the affluence that you so desire in every area of your life with ease and grace.
