Description
Why are you reading this book? We have to assume that the title interested or challenged you. We have to assume that from experience you know what it is to meet with a difficulty that must be overcome, to climb a mountain that seemingly has no crest, to follow a trail that has proved endless, to endure a pain or sorrow from which there seems to be no escape.
These are experiences common to man. Unfortunately, the will to overcome "in spite of everything" is less common. Fortunate is the individual who learns that obstacles, heights, and barriers do not have to be conquered by the will alone, who learns that since he is one with God, he has access to all the Might and Power and Majesty of the spiritual kingdom.
This book is for the man in search of knowledge of his spiritual power and of the way to use it wisely. This book, then, is for everyone. Deep in man''s heart is his desire to live a good life, to earn promised blessings, to help build a better world. Universal experiences tend to reinforce the knowledge that all men are brothers and that the spiritual man triumphs in the end.
Someone has wisely said that there are in the end only two motives for action. We act "in spite of" something or "because of" it. In reality, the two are one, for determination to overcome, to conquer, to demonstrate power depends upon the ability to sense the need and the awareness of potential power to meet it. The end result is the same whether we act in spite of opposition or because of encouragement.
