 A Beneficial Book July 14, 2010
Thurman L. Faison (Florida)
The huge success of Rhonda Byrnes book "The Secret" speaks for itself. In reading some of the reviews I must admit it appears that some are simply "reactions" rather than true reviews. I found Ms Byrnes approach to be remarkably engaging and certainly provokes thought. Her references again and again to "Avatars.Teachers, and great Leaders through the ages shows she has painstakenly researched the truths that have had some of the greatest impact in the lives of significant numbers of people. She is not offering her insights or rather her restatement of old truths as a new manuscript of reference to compete with or replace the Bible. To me what she covers in the book are things many of us have discovered in our lives or the lives of others to be true. This is the crux of the matter, if something is true, there is a reason why it is true. If something works it becomes an established principle that repeats itself again and again when the principle is applied. It does not matter who said it or how it was said if it is effectual in it's results then it has special significance. In watching the video and also reading the book, I was impressed with the energy and inspiration that was being expressed. It certainly was not negative energy or blasphemy against God. It was a treatise of encouragement in positive thought, faith, love, and expectation of doing more, experiencing more, achieving more and with an almost childlike faith an obvious confidence that good things will come forth. Without going into detail the emphasis on the "law of attraction" proves itself in the lives of people everyday and has done so through the ages. I liked the book and found it beneficial. Does it cover all the points of doctrine or my personal beliefs in ways perhaps I am accustomed to? No but that does not appear to be its purpose. With one broad sweep the book covers some of the most important truths that can bring some of the greatest changes for good in peoples lives. That seems to be the real issue, has it helped anyone? Apparently, it has helped thousands in many different ways. We may have our various religious positions but sometimes some things are presented in ways that differ from our personal approach and yet they may produce enormous beneficial results. To me "The Secret" is one of those things. No one is asked to leave their church, turn their backs on the Bible or become members of any new kind of cult, they are simply reminded of things that have been known by some through the ages that are powerful when applied in one's life.

I purchased one for myself and one for a family member. A most interesting publication. I first heard about it on Oprah (of course!). This little publication is made to be read and read again and used almost as an information/inspiration manual. It is certainly a moral booster.
 Great Book - Inspiring April 8, 2010
rmskiff (Toronto, ON, Canada)
If you're looking for a new way to look at life and perhaps live each day differently and to the fullest, then this book is for you. "The Secret" has been around since the beginning of time, even talked about in the Bible. This book explains this Secret to you and provides you with the tools to incorporate it into your life.
Even if you're a skeptic, this book is worth the read - it certainly can't hurt to look at each day more positively.

Power of the mind February 6, 2010
Zenny (Canada)
The Secret is meant as a power source for the mind. It allows one to understand that they is NOT such a thing like, losing control and losing power within the self. INSTEAD it opens up one's mind to the actually that all the good things in our lives can be attracted over and over again as long as we are WILLING to be open and positive. This book gives HOPE, POWER and BELIEF in one's life. The first time I read the "secret" it was actually to prove my friend wrong about it's influence into our lives and that nothing can simply come from blind faith and the power of the mind. I WAS 100% PROVEN WRONG upon finishing the book. I took my time - carefully applied the methods listen within the book and I astonished at the positive change my life took - and it happened in literally WEEKS!!! I had spend years being conflicted within myself and continuously questioned the things that occurred in my life. It will truly change your life for the better, how could you NOT read it?! Take the time to borrow it from a friend, the library or indulge yourself and purchase it, you will find yourself coming back and re-reading chapters to help you throughout your life. It isn't a book that will collect dust in your collection, be good to yourself - and pay careful attention to the messages. Whether or not you are a disbeliever, you can only read something before you cast judge so pick up the book. I am certain each and every one of you will have NO REGRETS.
