This is a must for anybody's personal library. No matter where you are in life, Sir John has done us all a great favour by writing this book. He uses a range of philosiphies and theologies to explain everyday events in our lives.
Are you overwhemled or caught up in day to day events? Mr. Templeton's collections of various authors and his own works will explain sometimes difficult situations into easy to understand english. For example, lesson "No one knows the weight of another's burden" on page 20 is about the young man in a male therapy group.
The men were in a group session and the person in the story is a new participant. The mediator explained that each person would have a few minutes to explain his problem and what they plan to do about it. Natually, the new person thought with his marital break down, near bankruptcy and poor health, his would be one of the saddest cases.
Before it was his turn to speak, a handsome young man in his 20's revealed that he was terminally ill and had 6 months to live. Rather than dwell on it, he decided to take up flying lessons and live! Naturally, everybody else was taken off guard and rediscovered the gifts they have.
Templeton's 200 lessons in this book address almost every situation around. You don't have to be struggling with life to enjoy this. Everybody needs a bit of down to earth insiration and you'll have it with this!

Great therapy. It is an easy read. Something you can open a few minutes a day to lift your spirits, and it doesn't hurt to read over and over again. It may not dazzle your senses (nonfiction), but it should make you feel good.

Norman Vincent Peale is a true desciple of our Christian faith. Dr. Peale understands not only people but he understands the meaning of God. Dr. Peale is a remarkable man. I wish I had met him. Dr. Peale's book, "In God We Trust" has a truly special place in my small personal library of great literature. Thank you Sir, for your insight and help.

Before I read this book I thought that I was going to loose my mind. This book taught me to believe what I have forgotten. That through faith you can conquer all. I needed something that was straight to the point and powerful. Loved this book immenesely; it truely gave me a peace of mind.

I have read 95% of his books and they have all been wonderful. This one is no exception. Although this one is more updated than many of his older works thereby making it easier to relate to. Dr. Peale was a very inspiring preacher/author and any book you can get your hands on with his name on it is worth every effort.

This book will inspire and uplift you. It doesn't contain complicated theological jargon, but clear cut principles that everyone can relate to.

Not a hard read by any means.

This book showed me how to simply turn my negative thoughts into positive thoughts. I have read many books on the subject of positive thinking and books of healing. Mr Peale focused on the Love of our God and His Son, Jesus Christ. I have referred to this book so often that it has literally fallen apart at its seams. I will get another copy as I really do believe in what Mr. Peale is saying to be the complete truth. This book is a must read for anyone suffering from anything in life, so that means everyone should read this excellent book. I am almost fifty years old and I have encountered some great problems in life and this book shows me how to face them. Mr Peale refers to Biblical passages throughout the book all of which are authentic, for I have checked. This book is certainly one of the best pieces of self-help literature that one could be fortunate to find. Read it, you'll be glad you did. Patty Harman

I've read many self-help books, as well as various books which include imaging for goal setting, etc. This was written by someone who knows what he is talking about, has had many years of experience with imaging. His belief in what he is writting comes accross very intensely.

This book takes positive thinking to a new level. A picture is worth a thousand words. So results are fast track. This man (Norman Vincent Peale) would have ruled the talk show circuit if that was his desire, but his pleasures had more depth than the tabloid mentality. Bravo on one of the greatest books ever written

Having just read a 1957 copy of this book, it is absolutely amazing how much American life back then is still so applicable today. Dr. Peale's words of wisdom are skillfully set out by experience and example, personal and otherwise. Many of the characters identified in the book are still living. Dr. Peale candidly offers healthy, inspirational and spiritual techniques to heal the wounds of everyday living with class and resolve leaving the reader to truly feel that life is not a problem, but rather that life is a solution.

If you want to make your life happier and a better place to live in you are on the search of a right book that'll make you relax and teach you to be confident of yourself on every turn of life. A soothing book that suggests you remedies to relieve tension and stress. Life brings along with it all types of ups and downs which make you happy as well as sad so to overcome your sadness this book will be the greatest guide with the best examples from your day to day life.

Stay Alive All Of Your Life is absolutely a must have book. It gives guidelines on how to enjoy each moment of every day . It is written in simple english so that it is easy to understand. It lets us know that life can be fun and exciting, no matter what the world problems are. A wonderful book!!

It was the most inspirational book I have ever read. Norman has such a way with drawing the reader in the most honest and loveable way I just couldn't put the book down. I also recommended the book to many of my friends who needed to change the way thier life was going, especially the way they were thinking. I want most desperately to get my husband to read the book so he can experience what I did whilst reading his work. The techniques he uses are fantastic, but my husband doesn't read English,he can only read Greek. Please help me in finding a Greek copy. Then we can use our mind powers together and he'd understand what I've been trying to explain to him all along.

This is a great audio tape, I use it as a part of my goalsetting, and meditation. It is a great tool for relaxing, and riding yourself of the stresses in today's life. No wonder, it has been reprinted so many times.

This book is truly packed with so much helpful information. Don't let the size of the book fool you. Although it is pocket size, it is jampacked with so many lessons for all to lead their life by. I often refer to this book when lost or confused. I just can't seem to keep a copy for myself!

This tiny little book contains more wisdom than you might think. Revealing more about yourself and how to tap into your God given gifts to become a winner. From daily life circumstances, business, work, how not to worry, how to deal with loneliness, inferiority complex, sorrow, to personal development and happy family life. I would recommended it even for teenagers as a required reading for their school book lists.

I got my first copy of Thought Conditioners when in college. It inspired and motivated me then and has continued to help me keep the faith through 20 years of life changes. This booklet contains 40 Bible verses each with an accompanying uplifting paragraph that helps the reader apply the message. The Bible verses selected for this brief booklet can help anyone facing tough times whether a cancer diagnosis, heartache because of a child or spouse, problems at work--whatever. It keeps the mind at peace becuase it is focused upon the powerful, positive messages found in the Bible.

THIS pamplet has been a life saver for me,when life comes tumbling down on me ,I always go to my thought conditioner pamplet..It is made to tear out and take with you,I've torn and retorn thru the years,I'm currently trying to find a new one to replace this one that has been used out''I like how the coditioners refer you to books of the bible,for more knowledge of the word. The pamplet is so easy to read, understand,and take with you anywhere..

This is an excellent book for anyone who engages in public speaking, whether it be for business, in school, family reunions, or elsewhere. Great book!

This is certainly one of the best books on public speaking I've read. The only other work that deserves special mention is Jack Valenti's Speak Up with Confidence. Walters gives surefire tips and techniques that are recipe for a successful presentation that may inspire for years.

Her crisp advice on the main requirements of a speech of "passion and compassion with a purpose" is very potent and often leaps off my mind each time I prepare to instruct or make a speech. Walters has carefully drawn from the "secrets" of public speaking pros and concocted them into a surefire formula for success. What's more, her anectdotes and quotes are both entertaining and memorable.

I found myself a better speaker even after reading and applying steps 1 and 2. Wait till I conquer step 11! Thank you Lilly Walters for an absolutely inspiring and terrific book.

Excellent book for anyone who plans to do public speaking - whether it be for business, school, family reunions, or the like!
