I just replaced my loaned out copy....
I loaned out my old copy and never got it back, so just bought a new copy....does that tell you how much I like this book?I've read my share of prosperity books, and this one is at the top of my list with Howard Caesar's audio book, "All About Prosperity".
If you're looking for some get rich quick type book, well this isn't it. I imagine that's one reason why he gave it the name he did, instead of emphasizing prosperity in the title. It's about changing your thinking about finances, health, relationships, all facets of prosperity. If you believe that changing your thinking will change your life, that we can control our thoughts and by doing so improve our over all circumstances, you'll find this book extremely helpful. Eric Butterworth comes from a very spiritual, and yet very practical level. He challenges many ideas that you might have studied in other prosperity books. Without naming her, he does challenge some of the prosperity techniques taught by Catherine Ponders and others. This is not to say that you should read him instead of her. To completely understand prosperity thinking, you should read both perspectives and then be guided by those principles that seem right to you. If you are open to a new perspective, and not bound by a fixed and rigid mind, you will find a lot of helpful material here.

True prosperity; The Expression Of The Within.
Covers the source of supply from the spiritual perspective. As such it covers the elimination of wrong ideas and attitudes and suggests ways to allow prosperity to appear in one's life. It is non materialistic in approach recognising that prosperity comes as a reaction to what is in an individual as first cause and is not determined by the world. It cautions against the use of mental tricks to attain an objective.Emphasis is given on what attitudes, beliefs and techniques will bring about prosperity. Sound advice is given on the nature of life from the christian perspective, the importance of placing oneself in the flow of life where giving is more important than getting and the importance of the grateful heart in the recognition of the source of supply.
A good book that could be better. Some points are underdeveloped and that is a lapse in a book that is so opposite to the materialistic world view that supply is in the economy whereas the author's message is that it is within you.
An easy book to read containing thoughts to make you think. No difficult economics. Makes a lot of sense.

Very helpful but . . .
may be hard for some to swallow whole. This book is written from within a particular ideological/ religious framework (specifically, Unity) and if one does not share this perspective some of the foundational assumptions may not work. For the non-Unity reader, the work would have been strengthened by a straightforward statement of assumptions at the very beginning. Otherwise, the statements about Universal Laws and Demonstrations can read as jargon and lead one to dismiss otherwise useful ideas. As you can tell, Unity is not my religious/philosophical framework, but still I did gain useful insights about the links between one's personal economic wellbeing and one's spiritual beliefs -- once I did what I like to call "filtering the ideology through my teeth."
