Power of the Plus Factor - Softcover

Universal laws work for or against any one of us. A wise person becomes aware of these laws and makes them work favorably. That's the framework Dr. Peale establishes in the first chapter. He follows up in the next chapter by discussing how the plus factor can be linked with creative dreaming to make one's life more focused. He tells how his own life has been positively changed by applying the principles contained in this book. He adds the stories of other people also. Buy this book! It is full of practical applications that will improve the quality of your life. --By Dr. W. G. Covington

I have always appreciated the writings of Dr. Peale. His many faceted discourses on faith and positive thinking has helped millions around the world. The Power Of The Plus Factor could be said to be a summation and exclamation point on all he had been saying through the years. He seeks to make it clear that there is that within each of us, from the Creator, that which when activated brings forth marvelous results. As with all of his books he cites scores of examples in the lives of people when the effects of the "plus factor" came into manifestation. Dr Peale says "one should never face a difficult problem negatively, never assume that nothing can be done about it(pg 215). If ever a minister of God helped the people, Dr. Peale was that minister. If man indeed bears the image of God, there is certainly more within him than we realize. Dr. Peale strives to bring these facts to our attention. It is good to be reminded that "God hath given to every man the measure of faith" Romans 12:3. Thurman L Faison, Author "To The Spiritually Inclined" --By Thurman L. Faison

this book is gr8 for boosting positive thoughts and thinking . I strongly recomend this book if your feeling down. --By P. Brothers

Dr. Norman Vincent Peale (May 31, 1898 December 24, 1993) was a minister and author (most notably of The Power of Positive Thinking) and a progenitor of "positive thinking". His ideas were not accepted by mental health experts.[1]Peale was born in Bowersville, Ohio, the oldest of three sons of Charles and Anna (née Delaney) Peale. He graduated from Bellefontaine High School, Bellefontaine, Ohio. He earned degrees at Ohio Wesleyan University (where he became a brother of the Fraternity of Phi Gamma Delta) and Boston University School of Theology. Raised as a Methodist and ordained as a Methodist minister in 1922, Peale changed his religious affiliation to the Reformed Church in America in 1932 and began a 52-year tenure as pastor of Marble Collegiate Church in Manhattan. During that time the church's membership grew from 600 to over 5,000, and he became one of New York City's most famous preachers.
