The Pathway of Roses

Rate this book
2012 Reprint of Original 1913 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. This book was written especially for those awakened souls who would open their minds to all that is rich, all that is lofty, all that is beautiful, and all that is inspiring in life; who would know and understand the finer things in human existence-those things which, to be in touch with, make all other things worth while. Christian D. Larson was a New Thought leader and teacher, as well as a prolific author of metaphysical and New Thought books. He is credited by Horatio Dresser as being a founder in the New Thought movement. Many of Larson's books remain in print today, nearly 100 years after they were first published, and his writings influenced notable New Thought authors and leaders, including Religious Science founder, Ernest Holmes.

this is a beautiful book which I read in the early 90's for my Science of Mind groups. I highly recommend it for those seeking spirit. One may not agree with all or any of Larson's quiet words but they are food for thought in any case.

it is food for the troubled soul.... it invites us to pause and slow the mind, to breathe and contemplate. It helped me a lot when I was in need of a peaceful inner space... Perhaps it will help me again now. I know it has helped others too. Good stuff.

On only the second chapter. So much is going on and coming to me. It is expanding my awareness of the TRUTH.

Last night I read, "To use divine will, we must first have a lofty purpose in view; we must have something high and something definite that we wish to attain; we must have something upon which to apply the limitless power of divine will, and we must desire to reach that goal with the very deepest and strongest desires of heart and soul."

That's where I had to put the book down on only page 13. What is my lofty goal--where am I pulling down te invisible divine substance and materializing something from nothing. This is what my I have been focusing on today--for what grand plan am I living this life?

One the premiere books of the New Thought Authors. If you have ever read channeled material such as Seth, Ramtha or Abraham Hicks you maybe surprised to find that everything they espoused was already written out 100 years before by these American New Thought Authors.

Great insight

I have read several of his books, and they all turn our direction to look within ourselves for the answers to life, because that is where they lie.

"When everything goes wrong with us, we blame fate, environment, or the world. We forget that the world does to us what we have done to the world. When we blame the world for everything, the world will so act that it is to blame; but when we love the entire world with our whole heart, the world will change toward us accordingly and be kind." - Christian D. Larson

You really can't go wrong with any book written by Christian D. Larson. He has a special eloquence that is unique among "new thought" writers. The Pathway of Roses is surely one to inspire you. Listen to an excerpt of the book that deals with the power of love at the following link: Do Your Best & Love Much..
