Years ago I received a little booklet entitled – THOUGHT CONDITIONERS – by Dr. Norman Vincent Peale. I must admit, I was excited to recieve it because I was a salesman and was well familiar that Mr. peale was a formidable author of “positive thinking” ideals .. goal setting, as I was familiar with his book – The Power of Positive Thinking. This booklet turned out to be a goldmine full of nuggets of Wisdom .. exactly what I needed at this point in my life – as I was going through one of the darkest and gloomiest times of my life – getting a divorce, starting a new career and so much more. Bottom Line – God Used This Booklet over and over again in my life for the past 35 years!
Back in the day I would struggle to read articles by people like Og Mandino who wrote The Greatest Miracle in the World .. The Greatest Salesman In The World .. David J. Schwartz who authored The Magic of Thinking Big .. and others from past years like Art Linkletter, Robert Schuller, Paul Harvey, Dale Carnegie, Napoleon Hill and others who periodically wrote articles for Success Magazine or other publications to which I subscribed. In recent years people like Joel Osteen, John MacArthur, Dr. Charles Stanley, Dr. Ed Young, Dr. Michael Youssef, Ph.D. have all helped in my day to day struggles – because they all directed me to the ONE BOOK I could never get away from .. because everything seemed to turn me back to the single-most positive thinking publication I had ever held in my hands – THE BIBLE .. authored by and through The One Who Spoke The Whole Universe Into Existence – Almighty God!
The fact is that God is The Most “prolific writer” of positive thinking ever! God is “well known” .. and is by far the most positive thinking motivational speaker one could ever listen to. God goes beyond positive thinking in ways we cannot comprehend. God is also the very best and most positive motivator – and promises success through His Word – The Holy Scriptures and through The Word Made Flesh – Jesus Christ, His Son!
