Your Faith is Your Fortune

By far the most powerful and eye opening work of Neville Goddard I've been guided to read. So much so that at times I literally had to put it down and walk away just to digest it. I understand and even teach co-creation process, but the metaphysical interpretations of Biblical passages that relate to the self really pull back the curtain even farther. If you want to really feel truth, and you think you're ready, read this!

After reading Neville's other works first, this book seems like he's trying too hard to fit broader teachings/Law of Attraction concepts into Christian/ biblical doctrine by using multiple scriptural quotes. I'd say his other works are more evolved and this initial work had too much in trying to get conservative Christians to see things from the baseline of scriptural passages, taking a lot of liberty to interpret them into newer thinking. I like it when Neville just says things like it is in other books versus quoting bible verses for every idea. This is probably a good book for those who like Christian biblical references, otherwise I'd say move on to later works of Neville where he writes more openly without justifying his thoughts frequently with biblical quotes.

All I have to say on this manual, is the content is very deep and heavy like the author's other publications. I can't speak for other resders, but I have to take the information piece by piece. I'll find myself having to put the info down and come back later, due to the weight of the content. This is one of those desserts that a person can't afford to eat too much of....

Look, if you really want to live an empowered life, start reading all of Neville's works. Warning: You can no longer believe that God resides outside of yourself, and you can no longer believe that you are not in control of everything in your life. That's what Neville teaches. So if you want to stay stuck in a rut... don't read this. If you want to not just improve your life, but thrive!!! read this book... and everything else Neville wrote.

I have so many books by Neville Goddard, I can't believe I bought more. But, each one shines a little different light on his teachings. I loved this book. His use of symbols to understand the Bible brought the Bible to life in ways I never imagined possible.

This is apparently the first book Neville Godard wrote, and it is the first one of his books that I read. I very much enjoy reading books by all New Thought writers, and among them I tend to like Neville Goddard's books the best because his books seem to portray the best the idea of oneness.The book "Your Faith is Your Fortune" deals primarily with Neville's interpretation of the stories from the Bible from the perspective of psychological transformation. In his view, the stories from the Bible have no historical value, but are all simply tools for inner transformation of the individual.While I can't tell whether the stories mentioned in Bible and in other spiritual literature from around the world have historical value and to what extent, and while I totally agree that the main purpose of any spiritual book or story is to portray what goes on in a human psyche and to stimulate spiritual growth and transformation, I was amazed to what degree Neville went to interpret the symbolism used in the Bible from the perspective of inner workings of the mind.Again, whether whoever originally composed those stories shared the Neville's view of the symbolism, it's hard to tell, but the interpretation he is using does make sense and is workable, if at times to me it seems somewhat strained as in interpreting the name of Jesus to French "Je Suis" - I AM.Even though this book revolves around interpretation of the Bible and you may or may not care for the Bible, the main focus of this book is - how your consciousness creates your experience of reality. Every part of this books is trying to bring that idea closer to you, in very practical terms, looking at it from many different angles.This book may also very much appeal to those who enjoy working with "I AM" Discourses, and here Neville appropriately points out that while this "I AM" consciousness creates reality, it is not enough to just say "I AM", but the attribute assigned to "I AM" must be experienced as subjective reality, in order to manifest in one's experience.The essence of this book is that - "I AM" is unconditioned awareness [God of your being] which gives to you all that you are aware of being. To be aware of being or having anything is to be or have that which you are aware of being. Upon this changeless principle all things rest."In the end you may want to read and re-read this entire book, or at least parts of it several times.

In Your Faith Is Your Fortune, Neville interprets various stories contained in the Past Testament and the New Testament, which he believes not to be historical books but collections of allegorical stories about the human experience and man's spiritual evolution. Also included in Your Faith Is Your Fortune is a very perceptive interpretation of The Count of Monte Cristo, by Alexandre Dumas, which was my favorite part of the book.

This book has a lot of good advice, but the author's writing style made it difficult to follow. It seemed overly wordy and he tended to take 20 words to express a thought which could be said in 5 words without losing the meaning. Some of his use of Bible stories puzzled me. Although he used them to get a point across, I felt that they didn't quite fit the subject. Therefore it became somewhat confusing. But there were some gems worth keeping, hidden among all the wordiness.

Beautifully and succinctly put along with passages from the bible and how they can be interpreted along the lines of the law of attraction and other similar ideas. Most helpful

It's a reminder we all need every now and then

I quite liked this book. and had been looking forward to reading it for some time as I had heard of Neville Goddard from a few different sources over the years. But found the books too costly. However I bicked up a bargin with this one so I was well pleased. though I have to admit it still left me wanting...

I really enjoyed this book, it can be quite repetitive and some of the language is quite confusing but there is always a breakdown of this somewhere in the book for you to understand

Goddard explains the power of BELIEFS.
