This is probably the most uplifting, spiritual book written by one of the world's greatest inspirational speakers and ministers, I have ever read before. It contains an autobiography, however, also contains the seven levels of prayer. It is an autobiography/inspirational book, and I recommend it to anyone of any age, and really of any religion.

This was the first book I read by Robert H. Schuller, I truely enjoyed it. It was very inspirational. You learned the tough times that Mr. Schuller went through and how his faith in God helped him through many obstacles and how it can do the same for you. You learn how he created the Hour of Power television series and the different levels of pray. I would highly recommend this book to read.

This was my very first book that I read of Dr.Schullers, and it remains my favorite. It is full of inspiring stories and shares some insight to the life of Dr.Schuller and it greatly helped me in my own prayer life. God Loves Dr.Schuller and So Do I!

This is only the second of Schuller's books that I've read and I am already noticing his uncanny knack for making you put your life into perspective. In "Life's not Fair but God is Good", Schuller relates more stories about himself, the people he's known, and the difficult situations they've all worked their way out of, through faith and positive thinking.

Unlike other motivational authors, Schuller doesn't so much tell you how to "change" your life, as much as he shows you how to make the best of the life you now live. "When life hands you lemons, make lemonade" as they say. Reading about some of the situations Schuller and many of his longtime friends have dealt with in their lives, only to come out better people, it increasingly makes me feel as if my biggest source of stress and tribulation, that being my work, is really nothing to take personally. A job is just a job and in reality, the rest of my life is going just fine. There are some people who not only don't have a job, but who couldn't work anyway because of some health problem. Schuller seems to know a lot of the folks who were able to figure out how to do what they love, in spite (or because) of their health or other such obstacles.

Pick up "Life's not Fair, but God is Good". I also recommend "If it's Going to Be, it's Up to Me". This kind of pseudo-therapy from Robert Schuller at the small cost of his books is a steal.

In the past four months life has dealt my family some severe blows and I wish I had read this book two months ago. It still had a profound effect on how I will view my future but it would have helped me get on the right track sooner. It will help you understand that God is really Good and not our enemy. Rev. Schuller explains with simple examples and simple words how our attitude toward the "unfair events of our lives" can be turned into the most rewarding and enriching times. He helps us to understand that giving thanks to God is the key to finding peace and our way in this earthly life. His message shows that finding God replaces the emptiness and the fear of what might happen. I recommend this book to anyone who is facing challenges in their lives or has recently lost someone dear to them. I bought this book two weeks ago and have already shared it with two friends.

Reverand Schuller has done it again. This is a sensational book. I received this book from my father a few months ago. After reading just the first page, I was totally captivated by it. Reverand Schuller gives hope to everyone, no matter what their religion or belief. This book has made me laugh, cry and literally drop my chin to the floor. Reverand Schuller shows us that no matter what our situation may be, there is always a brighter side with God showing us the way.

This was very good book! It covers topics that are told by the Schuller family about a successfull family in relationships with Jesus Christ. It was one of the nicest books I have read about Robert Schuller and his family. The Schuller family has a message that any family can learn from and you can in this book. I recomend it to everyone I know. It will make a very nice addititon to your library.

This is a once in a lifetime book that takes your breath away. Rev. Schullers words of encouragement, inspiration and success thinking is heads and shoulders above the field. Rest assured the Lord speaks through many people in this world, but Rev. Schuller has taken a leap forward that propels you into a Heaven on Earth feel good feeling. Thank you, Rev Schuller for this little book of great promise.

This edition of the Bible, Possibility Thinkers Bible, the New King James Version, was made available through the Sunday TV program by Robert Schuller who said that it contained the most beautiful English translation of the Bible available. Dr. Schuller was correct, in my view. This translation is quite beautiful and very easy to read. Previously I had read another translation in English which was frankly quite poorly and unevenly done. This New King James Version, Possibility Thinkers Bible, brought the Bible to life for me in everyday, beautiful English. My thanks go to the translators of the New King James Version. You did a wonderful job for the Lord God/Jesus Christ.

If you have a dream of succes and it's not working, this book will encourige you to go on and on till you reach the goal. Schuller tells the reader many stories about world famous people that have succes through "power thoughts". For examples his friend Michail Gorbatjov. The book is simple to read.

Everybody has things that they consider problems and setbacks, at work and in life. Dr. Schuller's encounters and experiences shed perspective on us that many setbacks are bigger than our own but they can all be overcome. It just depends on YOU. After months of frustration at work, culminating in losing a promotion to a man with equal experience but less "tenure", I was getting very discouraged in general, and disappointed with other "self-improvement books" I was reading, to gain insight on what I am doing wrong, and how to fix it. Books like "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie get rave reviews, but in comparison to Schuller, Carnegie's work is miles off the mark. Unlike Carnegie and many others, everything Dr. Schuller explains is completely ethical and allows you to live your life with dignity. I have never been a real spiritual person, but Dr. Schuller is helping to change that. Using faith and spirituality as your guide seems to be much more effective and self-affirming than shameless groveling. In short, this book tells you how to set goals and keep them. How to take lemons and make lemonade. Great for its informational value as well as its entertainment value. Reading it may not exactly change your life, nor does it claim to, but it will definitely change whatever negative thinking you might have.

Setting up goals in life is a step to optimistic accomplishment. If it's going to be me, its upto me to make the 'Decisions' firm and keep them final to achieve what we want. Realising own strengths with a positive 'I can do it' is in itself an initial step towards reaching heights. Robert Schuller's books are gems of inspirations and this one is just the 'Attitude' - shrugg off the black seeds of inferiority complexes and come out to accept the changes with vital energy and think positive. All his 'Better Yourself' serious is marvellous collections. It's the inner fire to flicker flame and positively pace ahead to be real 'Ownself', know the potentialities and think with mind rathar than use the heart. Rob's has a unique style of setting examples, adding the spiritual zest of bible stories but the main purpose stands for personal improvement and managing self to be better and best. Positive attitude pays dividends when you break free to grasp all that you dream. Whatever the faith be, Rob's book has the inspirational motivation to push forth the reader to smooth sail in life. Set goals, set priorities, think positive and achieve success with commitment to fulfil the desires - just decide upon today and think 'If it's going to be me, it's up to me and nothing can stop you from looking ahead as you leave those trails behind. That's a master piece 'Dr.Robert Schuller' - A spritual and Mind trainer, I would say! A good reading 'Hour of power' to read and self improve.

This was the second book of Dr.Schullers that I had read. I came to his ministry in 1997. When I read this book, it changed my way of thinking and my faith in Christ and my belief about myself. This was one of the most powerfull books I have ever read. It greatly influenced me. In this book, Dr.Schuller talks about how to live succesfully as a christian through the 8 proven principals of possibility thinking that he has learned and lived through. It's a self help book through moativation by Jesus Christ. Anyone who knows Dr.Schuller and his ministry knows where he is coming from. Anyone who isnt famliar with him, I encourage you to pick up the book and read it. I also encourage young people to read this book. If I would have had this when I was younger, I would have been more determined and optimistic and stronger about myself. At least I have read it now. It's well worth buying. Thank God for Dr.Schuller!

Dr. Schuller has been such an inspiration to me over the years. His sermons and books have encouraged me on numerous occasions. He helps me feed my mind the right substance. I identify with his migration to California from the interior part of the U.S. The way he tells the story is a true inspiration each time I read it. I was in the Crystal Cathedral in 2002 and it was liked standing in my dream. I was there, observing what I had read about and seen on television. In the American mythology, California is still the land of dreams.
Dreams which are given by God are to be pursued, according to Dr. Schuller's teaching. That's logical. His life shows how it's done.

A wonderful book about the life of a man who has touched many. A nicely written Biography. Interesting in details and filled with his special can-do attitude. Buy it.

I have read a number of books by Robert Schuller. But, this is by far the best book he has written in my opinion. You ask, "What makes this book so outstanding?" Simple. He traces his upbringing in a strict Dutch Reformed Church, and how he grew beyond that upbringing to learn how to minister to those outside of his own tradition. I was surprised to learn that his college education had initially made him a rather boring speaker because he was taught to be deep and theological. Because of this, he lost potential members in his first church. He learned early on that in order to reach his members, and those without religious backgrounds he had to speak in a way that people could connect with. Furthermore, Robert Schuller talks about the people who influenced his own ministry such as one of his grade school teachers, and several of his college professors. I found the book to be refreshing in the transparent honesty Schuller displays with the reader. Schuller discusses how much the legendary Pastor Norman Vincent Peale had meant to him in the many endeavors that he attempted, but he also relates that for a time their relationship cooled. He speaks about the lack of support he received from his own denominational leaders, and the criticisms he received in some church publications -although his denomination would later recognize his visionary leadership. Pastor Schuller also shares with the reader some of the significant experiences he had with world citizens such as Armand Hammer and Mikhail Gorbechev, and what it was like. Surprisingly, Schuller speaks of his own bouts with depression and doubt as he sometimes struggled to make his dreams come to fruition. Probably one of the most touching pieces in the book is when he speaks of his daughter Carol losing her leg in a motorcycle accident, and how difficult this was for him. It is very refreshing to see this dreamer of man who has displayed extraordinary optimism, faith and a 'can do attitude' share with the reader that it is not always easy for Robert Schuller. Of course, he dispenses great advice for getting through the obstacles and challenges we may face in life in a very practical manner. In story after story, he inspires the reader to reach for excellence, and become a possibility thinker. Although, the book is a little over five hundred pages long, its richness and varied texture made it hard to put down. As I said, I have read a number of books by Robert Schuller, but this is the best.

Another great book by Robert Schuller that focuses on exactly what the title says. Gives some great ways to boost your confidence and lots of good advice on being a more positive person. Written in an easy to read style, it's by far one of the best books I've read on the subject.

If you consider yourself a Christian and believe that the Word of God is divinely inspired and infallible, you will be insulted by the heresies contained in this book. If, on the other hand, you don't care what the Bible has to say about sin, redemption, the atoning work of Jesus on the Cross (Schuller says Jesus did this so that He would not become egotistical!) and other crucial issues of Christianity, and you just want to feel good about yourself, read away! Please look at some articles on the internet and see for yourself before you buy this book.

Everyone should read this book! It will mend broken lives. It will help you to realize your dreams !It will enable you to let God help you become what He dreamed you would become !
