A free book but not a clean book

I know the works of this author but had to give mine and many others away due to an expensive move. I selected Very Good so no writing should be in the book. I got a Good book and it is good but not what I choose or expected. It’s has been underlined and side noted through 3/4 of the book. I’ll donate it and purchase a New book if I can find one. This book and the author are worth the expense and I realized that it would be distracting to read this book with someone else’s thoughts and highlighted opinions influencing my attention and thoughts.

Solid spiritual food

I ran into Lessons in Truth many years ago and have kept it through many moves while discarding other books of lesser value. I was delighted to find this Complete Works at a Unity church recently and purchased it. Unfortunately that copy was missing a number of pages and I'm going to get another one here. Ms. Cady was the real deal, not a spiritual superstar who was in it for the glory and the money. Most of the ideas that you'll find in metaphysical books by that type, you will find here in Ms. Cady's own modest but highly intelligent writing. I return to it time and time again when I need some solid spiritual food. The language is Christian but don't let that stop you. It is universal in its truth and practical in its application. I highly recommend it.

One of the best books EVER - A CLASSIC!

This book is so highly recommended, I've bought a few copies for others. If you're seeking a true understanding of life that will help you to live to the fullest, to be joyful and at peace, this is IT! This text is written eloquently, yet in simple easy-to-understand language, at times it is poetic. Very very inspirational and a wonderful read. A true classic in every sense of the word.

Learning Life

Don't ever loan your copy to anyone, you won't get it back. I loaned mine to my Preacher and he promised me it was in safe hands. Later he offered to buy me another copy. I declined, I wanted my original copy I had purchased in 1982. I even looked in his library myself and wrote him letters over a 4 year period. Realizing it was gone, I finally ordered this copy and felt a wave of relief. This book has 2 other sections besides LESSONS IN TRUTH. I am so glad to have the extended copy, the information just adds to the wonderful content of the single book. I learned what affirmations verses denials means, I prefer the affirmations. I learned what special gifts are. I learned how to meditate and how marvelous that is to one's life and family. I learned what "keep a single eye to Jesus" means and how to apply that to my daily life. I learned a new discipline of thinking, looking into one's self to find God. I had been raised in a treditional church and at first this was a foreign way of thinking. Later, the book became my comfort in every trial I face. I found deep faith and understanding I did not have before I read the book. I've probably read it a dozen times. I never want to be without it again and will NEVER loan it to anyone again. It is just to valuable to me. If I could only take one book and my Dad's homemade clock with me in the event of a disaster, Emilie Cady's book would be it.

Thought provoking look at the teachings of Jesus

Dr. Cady was already a trailblazer when she begain writing, being one of the first female physicians in NY. This book is a collection of her written work and is an invaluable tool to those seeking a deeper understanding of practical Christianity. Dr. Cady lays the foundation of Jesus' teachings in a clear and concise manner, then invites the reader to heed the Wayshower's call and "Follow me". She explains that Jesus was the great example, not the great exception. We are called to do more than worship Jesus; we are called to be like him and we do so by discovering our own inner Christ. This book gives the reader the roadmap necessary to uncover God's image within and to reaquaint ourselves with the "true" meaning of what Jesus came to share with the world. This book will not leave you the same...you will be changed.

Powerful book for ideas on spiritual growth

Amazing how the things we think are new are actually quite old. This book appears to be the basis for cognitive restructuring therapy. The writing style is definitely that of the late 19 century and may be dificult for the modern reader. The book had me shaking my head in affirmation throughout. There appears to be a lot of power in her words and spiritual beginners are cautioned (at least unless they can come as children). For those who are working on spiritual growth this may be the last book you need read - Ms. Cady's advise is to "not read the works of others or discuss with others - for the TRUTH is revealed to each of us and is unique to each of us - to continue to seek the TRUTH from others will simply slow the learner" (quote is a liberal paraphrase).
