ReviewsLove Love is truly contagious and eternally creative. (p. 2018) "Devote your life to proving that love is the greatest thing in the world." (p. 2047) "Love is the ancestor of all spiritual goodness, the essence of the true and the beautiful." (p. 2047) The Father's love can become real to mortal man only by passing through that man's personality as he in turn bestows this love upon his fellows.

(p. 381) ...They who know that God is enthroned in the human heart are destined to become like him--immortal. (p. 1449) God is not only the determiner of destiny; he is man's eternal destination. (p. 67) Family Almost everything of lasting value in civilization has its roots in the family. (p. 765) The family is man's greatest purely human achievement. ... (p. 939) Faith ...Faith will expand the mind, ennoble the soul, reinforce the personality, augment the happiness, deepen the spirit perception, and enhance the power to love and be loved. (p. 1766) "Now, mistake not, my Father will ever respond to the faintest flicker of faith." (p. 1733) History/Science The story of man's ascent from seaweed to the lordship of earthly creation is indeed a romance of biologic struggle and mind survival. (p. 731) 2,500,000,000 years ago...

    the book is physically ok

    I got an email requesting me to review this product. How can I review my own religion? It's a belief that the universe works a certain way. There's one reality channel, and I believe this is it. There is a whole philosophy in this book, and it has replaced or created my mindset from who I was previously. Most of us like to have extra copies of the book... it's a religion. So this review is just for the physical book. Basically, it's a starter book in a way, a lure to get you to buy a better, acid free, enhanced font and size book. Basically, since publication in 1955, they never made a better book. I don't know why. There was briefly a few large versions for the sight impaired. There was one small printing of acid free books. But what we get is printing after printing of starter books. Of course there are mp3 dvd's of the audio book, There is some braille availability. It's available for ebooks and as text files and such. But as a physical book this basic edition is not what you want as a full fledged believer... you would want to have available something fancy. Now the digital age is upon us happily, but still I could go for something divided into a set of three (it's 2000 pages), large, acid free paper, gold guilted, leather bound etc. It's printed on bible paper, really thin stuff, always has been. So I'm giving this physical book a 3.
