Everything at its purest and deepest essence is energy, and whenever you think, you are working with an immense amount of this energy in the quick, light, mobile form of thought. Thought is forever attempting to find form. . . . (p. 8)What this means for us is that we can manifest anything we desire through our thoughts. I'm convinced our thoughts have power. That is why we can be called to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. But the biblical philosophy undergirding this truth is quite different than that which Kehoe proposes.

Wayne,
And I know some might say, then why read this stuff if some of it is so off-base? Well, I'm convinced that in self-help God can say to us, "help yourself" to the principles found within my creation. The danger of missing God's truth is inherent in every discipline. Witness science, evolution, and the ongoing ID debate. lgp
I could not agree more. That is where discernment comes in. Oh darn that would mean we would need to be mature Christians. OOOpppsss, guess we can't do that then. Tongue firmly in place in cheek.
I also try to read pretty widely. I happen to be in the investment genre at this moment.
