For the first time in print, here are early lectures and private lessons from celebrated spiritual teacher Ernest Holmes, illustrating the key concepts behind his influential ideas.

Ernest Holmes was a beloved teacher and philosopher with a disarmingly simple message: Change your thinking, and you will change your life. There is a creative law in the universe, Holmes reasoned, and it is available to each of us right now through our thought patterns. We can quite literally think our way to happiness and contentment.

The author of the landmark work The Science of Mind and the founder of the worldwide Religious Science movement, Holmes was a uniquely gifted scholar with a vast command of the world's spiritual philosophies. To read him is to experience the deft workings of one of the shrewdest spiritual minds of the past century-yet to marvel at the simplicity of his message.

Love and Law is a collection of carefully selected lectures and private lessons that have never before been in print. It is an easy-to-read and concise volume, welcoming in both message and appearance.

I believe God was in this man, Ernest Holmes. He was in tune with the infinite. (Norman Vincent Peale)
