Election Prayer

Many people on the New Thought ministers' listserve have made an agreement
to pray/treat the highest good for our country and divine guidance for all
leaders and candidates. This will take place on Sunday evenings wherever you
are from now until the election. We are engaging our congregation in this
too. This is a very exciting idea as we know the power of our word. I
thought you might like to participate too. Here are two prayers which have
been offered for starters. Love and blessings, Linda

RESOLVED: That Divine grace, Divine love, Divine wisdom hereby blesses and
sanctifies the magnificent country of the United States of America and
brings leaders of wisdom, knowledge and intelligence to be the ones to guide
and aid us to ever greater expressions of the Divine as this country. Amen

My Prayer for My Country

Believing in the Divine destiny of the United States of America and in the
preservation of liberty, security, and self-expression for all, I offer
this, my prayer for my country:

I know that Divine Intelligence governs the destiny of the United States of
America, directing the thought and the activity of all who guide its
affairs.

I know that success, prosperity, and happiness are the gifts of freedom and
are the Divine heritage of everyone in this country.

I know that success, prosperity, and happiness are now operating in the
affairs of every individual in this country.

I know that Divine guidance enlightens the collective mind of the people of
this country, causing it to know that economic security may come to all
without the loss of either personal freedom or individual self-expression.

I know that no one can believe or be led to believe that freedom must be
surrendered in order to insure economic security for all.

The All-Knowing Mind contains the answer to every problem which confronts
this country. I know that every leader in this country is now directed by
this All-Knowing Mind and has the knowledge of a complete solution to every
problem. Each is compelled to act upon this knowledge to the end that
abundance, security, and peace shall come to all.

And I know that this spiritual democracy shall endure, guaranteeing to
everyone in this country personal liberty, happiness, and self-expression.

Bhagavad-Gita For Beginners

The Bhagavad Gita: The Song of God Retold in Simplified English is the latest title in the Essential Wisdom Library. This unique edition of the timeless epic is designed to be accessible for readers without any prior experience of Hinduism. Not merely a translation of the original, Viljoen has simplified and restated the Gita’s complex ideas, so that a first-time reader can fully appreciate the scope and beauty of this magnificent Indian classic. Written in concise, modern language, the retelling vividly captures the power and depth of the original work.

Reviews

“While goodness, kindness, compassion, and faith might seem like ordinary concepts, when it comes to actually living them in the face of life’s daily challenges, it’s easy to get stuck. Edward Viljoen has given us a gentle, illuminating, compassionate guidebook to living from the goodness that lies at the heart of who we really are.”
—Alan Seale, founder of the Center for Transformational Presence, and author of Create A World That Works and Intuitive Living

“Ordinary Goodness reminds me I can see goodness and kindness every day. Edward reminds all of us, that despite our failings, we really can be both good and kind. Brew a cup of tea and curl up with this insightful and achingly beautiful account of the mystery, paradox, and wonder of your life. You’ll be glad you did!”
—Petra Weldes, author of Joyous Living Journal

“If kindness were a country, Ordinary Goodness would be its travel guide. In this book, Edward Viljoen delves into a perfectly ordinary yet arguably neglected virtue—kindness—and reveals its source, its rewards, and a well-defined approach for integrating kindness into your very bones. Combining his personal history with his decades of experience as a minister, Viljoen is eminently qualified to teach us that the ordinariness of kindness may actually be the most dazzling quality we might possess.”
—Randall Friesen, publisher of Newt List Books

Edward Viljoen was a recent guest to my radio show, "In The Spirit." I had read his book, "Ordinary Goodness" and was happy to talk with him about it. I like the way he inserts stories from his own life to illustrate various points. In this cynical age, this book is a tonic a guide to live a good life by being good to others. We cannot be truly happy until we do. Thank you, Edward for bringing a much needed topic to our attention.

—Gary Goldberg, host of In The Spirit

The Power of Meditation

“Edward Viljoen’s new book, The Power of Meditation, is a gift. It serves as a practical guidebook for those who are new at spiritual practice, as well as a beautiful reminder of simplicity and essence for those who have been engaged in spiritual practice for a lifetime. Edward helps us find the strength we need to be present with whatever life brings. He takes the reader by the hand, dispels the mysteries, and makes this elusive thing called meditation very real and doable.” —Alan Seal, author of Create a World That Works
