A Few Of The Many Reviews Of

Dominion & Power

By Charles Brodie Patterson

The book, which it is interesting to note, is now in its fifth edition, is practically the exposition of a philosophy of life based upon a deeply religious estimate of life's controlling forces. . . . The development of the argument occupies twenty odd chapters, short, but representing a great deal of thinking, and evidently the work of a highly intellectual man and a sincere Christian in the best sense of the word.

-The Weekly Press, Christchurch, New Zealand.

The book is clear, true, and convincing, written on the highest plane, wins confidence, and makes the study of spiritual science both a delightful and a remunerative thing. - Boston Ideas.

A good book is one of the best gifts you can think of making to those you love. And when that book is full of thought then it becomes a priceless treasure. . . . The book we have in mind is of this type, one that relates in simplest word and phrase what "Dominion and Power" means when applied to the everyday ordering of life. - The Bayonne Standard.

Lovers of Mr. Patterson's books will find this work one of the best products of his genius. It deals with a wide variety of subjects, all of which have a direct bearing on individual life and character, and upon man's social, spiritual, and intellectual relations. - The Light of Reason, London, England.

It is . . . delightful to find a book that one can recommend as a whole, that presents consecutive features worthy the attention of the student, of practical aid to the earnest seeker. Such a book is the one before us, a collection of essays, styled by the author " Studies in Spiritual Science." The spiritual element is emphasized throughout in a simple and dignified manner, void of that emotionalism that so frequently characterizes attempts at spirituality. . . . We heartily recommend its perusal to our readers. - The Exodus.

Among the most notable recent works that appeal at once to the heart and brain of the thoughtful is Mr. Charles Brodie Patterson's new book, "Dominion and Power." This really vital contribution to the unfoldment of the spiritual life will take a high place in the richly suggestive and rapidly growing literature of the New Thought Movement. It is an earnest, luminous, and thoughtful message, presented in a clear, concise, and manly manner, embodying the ripest experience and conclusions of the heart and brain of a broad thinker, and an earnest, truth-loving man. - B. O. Flower, in Arena.

This ... is an earnest and thoughtful book. . . . The purpose of the author is to show that the evolution of the individual soul, or, in other words, of the "Kingdom of God" in man, and of its attributes of faith, hope, and love, will lead to Dominion and Power - to dominion and power over self, and therefore over the universe of which the self is a part.

-The Literary World, London, England.

In these days, when the mind of man is reaching out for a more comprehensive knowledge of the laws which regulate and control life, any such book as this by Charles Brodie Patterson is eagerly read. - The Boston Budget.

" Dominion and Power," by Charles Brodie Patterson, the distinguished editor of the Arena and Mind, consists of a number of thoughtful studies in spiritual science. Its philosophy of life is hopeful, helpful, and stimulating.

- Progress, Minneapolis.

Like all of Mr. Patterson's writings, this book will bear reading. - Light of Truth.

It is a book which appeals to the heart as well as the brain of the thoughtful reader . . . and will find a warm welcome wherever it goes. - Psychic Review.

Never has it been our lot to read a more uplifting book.

- Health, New York. It is worthy your attention. - Life, Kansas City.

Each chapter in this book is a revealer of truth.

- W. E. Towne, in Points.

" Dominion and Power " is a notable addition to the New Thought literature of the day.

- The Cumulative Book Index, Minneapolis, Minn.

The book is one of inspiration to a life of self-helpfulness and help of others. - Toledo Daily Blade.

If one wishes to get a clear and comprehensive idea of the New Thought Movement, let him give Mr. Patterson's book a careful reading. It is an honest presentation of a subject at once uplifting and of deep interest to the thoughtful. ... It attracts the reader by the intensely practical application of its spiritual message. - The Bookworm.

The Will to Be Well

By Charles Brodie Patterson

Sixth Revised Edition

"Life is made up of little acts rather than of great ones. The little things we do day by day constitute the real sum of life"

" The mind must be balanced if the physical health is to be normal. It is useless to strain after physical health through conformity to outward regulations alone. Every effort to regulate the life from the outside must fail because that is not the way God works; it is contrary to all the laws of man's Life."

- The Author.

"The author of this book is not a follower of Mrs. Eddy, but an exponent of the teachings of the 'New Thought' as they apply to the mind and body, which has developed steadily parallel with the Christian Science movement. The distinction between the two is clearly set forth. Christian Science denies away sin, sickness, and death. The ' New Thought' claims that all three have an existence, but an existence that is overcome, not through any process of denial, but through the introduction of true thought into the mind of man."-St. Paul Despatch.

" The Will to be "Well is not only well written, in a clear, fluent and persuading style, but it is morally a very useful, a very uplifting and encouraging book, for it is a gospel of optimism, and its optimism is applied directly and materially to counsels of direct and material utility." - Brooklyn Daily Eagle.

"When we realize how many of our trials are self-imposed we will be ready to learn the truths given in this very practical volume." - Modern Miracles, New York.

" This author has gathered together and rationalized the laws of health, strength and happiness through the control of the body by the mind." - Interior, Chicago, 111.

"Some very sensible words are here spoken in regard to the securing of a clean and wholesome life. . . . There is no one who will not find much that is stimulating and wholesome on these pages." - Herald and Presbyter, Cincinnati, Ohio.
