Summary: Joel is really wordy
Comment: I am reading this text with 8 others at
a Saturday 6to 7pm reading. Joel really
gets wordy. I prefer reading Eckhart
Tolle and hope the group goes back
to another of his books.

Summary: Smacks of Christian Sciene without its spiritual logic
Comment: This book reminds me of ideas I learned in Christian Science Sunday School, but he doesn't give it the solidly spiritual basis Mary Baker Eddy does in her Science and Health. His recognition of the healthful effects of getting closer to God will be helpful to many, but to me the view of man as wholly spiritual provides the only logical basis for spiritual healing. I'd also like to think that the medical profession will someday recognize the efficacy of spiritual treatment for physical illness. 'Works great for me!

Summary: The "How To" of Effective Prayer
Comment: In clear and descriptive prose, Goldsmith shows anyone the "why" and the "how" of effective prayer for spiritual transformation and healing. It does take the commitment of time and practice, but anyone on the spiritual path will benefit from this book. One doesn't need to spend a lot of money, go through elaborate rituals, or have another intercede on one's behalf to establish a connection with God/Spirit/Divine Mind, one only needs to "think no thoughts" and let the presence of the Infinite fill one's mind. Really.

Summary: To All Who Are In Need . . .
Comment: The world has always been in need of healing - of something. In this book, Joel Goldsmith gives us the principle of TRUE healing, whether it be physical, financial, emotional, or any number of other things from which the world continues to suffer.
Spiritual healing, today, can be likened to crystals, candles, aromatherapy, psychological mumbo-jumbo, etc. Joel Goldsmith, through his personal dedicated journey, goes to the ROOT of the problem and one which individuals very likely have no cognizance of, unless, of course, they've already read other of Joel's works and have discovered the secret.
This is one of the first books I ever read by Goldsmith and I started in the early 1980s. I bought it mainly for curiosity but it soon appeared on my 'Best of the Best' book list and continues to be so.

Summary: Essential reading on the topic of spiritual healing
Comment: I have read (and reread) many of Joel Goldsmiths books.
The Art Of Spiritual Healing was the first one I read, after finding it on my father's bookshelf when I was about 18. It left a very lasting impression and in fact Goldsmith, through this book, set the yard stick against which all my other explorations into health and healing have been measured.
I've always felt that no matter what approach to health and healing I am looking at, it is always (in my opinion) dealing with symptoms and this includes all the natural and alternative approaches. Spiritual Healing (as beautifully described and successfully practised by Goldsmith) is the one exception. It goes to the root cause.
Of course, many are not ready to go to that place and for some such folk I am sure this book would be a displeaser. If, however, you have a sincere interest in what true healing is really about then please read this book. It is clear, simple, concise. It effectively covers the essential information of what spiritual healing is, how it is practised, it's effectiveness (through Goldsmith's many years of successfully treating thousands of clients), and it's attainment. Spiritual Healing, after all, is a capacity that will all have yet we must wake up to it and attain the fruits of that awakening.
Much of Goldsmiths other books will most certainly assist you in that path to awakening to the Truth of who and what you are, and your capacity to function as a Spiritual Healer, and hence I highly recommend his other books too. If you've read nothing of Goldsmiths work then this book is a great place to start.
I wish you all the best of health,
Jonathan Evatt
