Healing Secrets of the Ages

Summary: Interesting, but far more New Age than Christian
Review: I was originally excited to read another of Catherine Ponder's books, but within a few pages I realized that this book was far more New Age than Christian (I had heard it promoted as the latter). It's an interesting history of healing, but if you're looking for a work based strictly on Christian healing practices, keep looking.

Summary: A Life Changing Book
Review: My sister sent me this book as a gift. I was newly remarried and having a very difficult time adjusting to a new husband, new surroundings, not to mention my husband adjusting to living with me and my daughter. I purchased a sprial notebook and wrote down every prayer listed in the book. As I drove my daughter to school every day I repeated all the prayers. It took about 6 months before my life started changing. So much good came to me and my husband at that time. It's 3 years later and it's getting better all the time. I don't believe my marriage had a chance until Ms. Ponders book and her directions for living entered my life. I bless you and praise you for your wonderful advise. I have passed on her prayers to many people. I have said prayers for people who I see hurting and I can see results immediately. I feel loved like never before. I know God like never before. God bless you for your works, it was just what I needed.

Summary: PRECISE & DETAILED GUIDE TO HEALING
Review: This is a companion volume to Ponder's "Dynamic Laws of Healing" and is much more detailed, investigating further phases of mental and spiritual healing. These secret teachings deal with the 12 mind powers located within the vital nerve centers in the body. The state of one's health is deeply affected by the state of one's glands because the nerve-gland areas in the body are also centers of vital mind powers. How one uses the mind powers located in the gland-nerve areas affects one's health for the worse or the better. And this book was published in 1967, long before the "chakras" became so popular! Occult philosophy has long recognised that there are seven mind powers located in seven vital nerve centers (the chakras). These 12 powers discussed by Cathereine Ponder simply embrace and expand these 7 natural powers into 12 divinely mental powers, making them easier to understand and use. The 12 healing forces discussed are those of Faith, Strength, Judgement, Love, Power,Imaging, Understanding, Will, Order, Zeal, Elimination and Eternal Life and many healing affirmations are provided for each. There are helpful black and white illustrations mapping the location of these powers and to demonstrate the different levels of mind. This book is not an easy read and requires diligent study, so it I think it is of great value to serious spiritual healers and is also an excellent reference work.
