Truly a Handbook for Higher Consciousness and Restructuring your Understanding of Yourself!
I have studied metaphysics and New Thought since about 1988, and I have immersed myself in a very diverse range of teachings throughout the years. I had never heard of Reverend Ike, and about a year ago, while doing further research on Neville Goddard's teacher, Abdullah, I found a page that stated that Reverend Ike was one of a few people whose teachings very closely mirrored those of Neville Goddard (whose work I very, very highly recommend). Other people who fall into that category include Dr. Joseph Murphy and, in my opinion and experience, Dr. Joe Dispenza.Each teacher has their own way of interpreting things and of presenting concepts and ideas; and therefore certain sometimes subtle points and details become more useful and accessible when studied across the works of different authors and teachers. Reverend Ike's teachings are in large part very close to the principles offered by Neville Goddard and of course Abdullah, but like any other individual, there are personal ways of teaching, writing and presenting material that are unique to Mister Eikerenkotter. Not only that, but Reverend Ike had a spirit of passion and clarity that is extremely helpful to me in deepening my understandings of the truth and in turning those understandings into practical application.Reverend Ike was also unique in that he was (to my knowledge) the one and only "evangelical" New Thought minister. I had spent most of my life completely uninterested in the Bible and in fact vehemently opposed to having anything to do with the Bible due to many experiences of being judged harshly and unfairly by members of fundamentalist churches and teachings, and in fact being outright abused by such people. It was only when I immersed myself in the work of Neville Goddard that I was able to heal that (and I almost abandoned Neville's teachings in the first few months of studying his books due to that severe mistreatment, but I pressed on at the advice of my Higher Self, and boy, have I been rewarded for doing so). Neville's interpretation of the Bible as strictly metaphorical and allegorical, and not literal, as well as his profound clarity and ability to convey extremely powerful and liberating ideas through his recorded lectures and also his writings, opened my heart and mind up to metaphysical interpretations of the Bible for the first time, and I have found a treasure chest of self empowering concepts and knowledge since finding what I personally believe to be the real, hidden meaning of the stories and passages contained in the Bible.I found Reverend Ike because of my love for Neville, and because I was so passionate about trying to discover any additional information about Neville's teacher, Abdullah. Much like the way I have never turned back from my studies of the tremendous Gift that is Neville Goddard's phenomenal body of work, since the very day I discovered Reverend Ike's work, I have immersed myself in his lectures and now in this, his only published full and complete book (that I know of). I listened to Mister Eikerenkotter's lectures for several months, gaining such immense value and watching my life improve in so many ways before I wanted more and sought out this book. As a former member of the military, and also with his evangelical background, Reverend Ike shouts quite a bit in many (but not all) of his lectures. At first, I had to adjust to this, but after a while I truly realized what "all the shouting was about". He presented many of his lectures in this fashion to truly make an impression on the subconscious mind of the listener, and to really, really get the attention of both the subconscious and conscious mind of his audience, because he understood the value of doing this, and because he genuinely cared about helping people to help themselves.As far as the actual content of this book, it is truly magnificent. With 52 short chapters (one for each week of the year, but that is only one of the many ways to use this marvelous book), virtually all of the important aspects of life are covered. Real, usable tools, techniques, quotes related to the specific chapter and also very powerful affirmations for each chapter are given. Most chapters are only several pages long, as Mister Eikerenkotter gets right to the point of each concept, and gets right to the heart of the matter for the subject at hand. Just like his lectures, he pulls no punches and offers no apologies for being a messenger of Truth and for bypassing so much of the nonsense and what ultimately amounts to self-service that litters the work of many even great authors.Reverend Ike's book gets right down to business with each chapter, and all of it is based on understanding that God is not a separate entity, and that your consciousness and your imagination is quite literally the force which shapes your entire life experience. Each of the 52 chapters is chock-full of genuinely useful information and truth, and empowering ways to implement the knowledge that we all are literally God (at least our consciousness is not just connected to the mind of God, but that our imagination and our consciousness is indeed ONE with the actual mind of the Divine, and that God in Us expresses As Us and Through Us, based on what we "feed" the mind of God with our beliefs, expectations, feelings, ideas, etc.). This very fact is one of the main reasons that I love and adore Reverend Ike, Neville Goddard, Joseph Murphy and also Dr. Dispenza. These men were all bold enough to cut through the ideologies of God and the Creative Force of the Universe as being something outside of us, and even imposing it's will upon us, and offer the actual truth to the public: We Are God, and everything we see, and experience physically in this world is only a reflection of the beliefs and ideas we "feed" the mind of God within us (a mind which has no rules or regulations on what we "feed" it, and simply orchestrates world events to mirror and reflect the content of our consciousness without evaluating that content - and that especially when we feel very strong emotions associated with the beliefs and imaginings we have, the God within us effortlessly expresses through us in all manner of ways which bring those beliefs, feelings and imaginings into physical, 3rd dimensional reality). And Reverend Ike's teachings, as well as the teaching of others I've mentioned (especially Neville), explore and promote this basic truth with immense power and accessibility. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. It is a priceless treasure!

Wonderful!
I loved listening to Rev Ike when I was growing up. I also got to see him in person once. He's got great advise and he's authentic. Reviewing his book, I realize how much I internalized his teachings and advice to become who I am today. It's an easy, fun, educational read!

"I will teach my mind how to think"
I am still waiting to receive this book that I ordered on the 6th which is the reason for the 4 stars. I have long known of Rev. Ike from living in New York in the seventies and eighties. I had a co-worker that was really into his teaching but he never shared any of it with me, and God knows I needed it during that time period, but I have to blame myself because all I listened to was the negative things in the media, and again may be it just was not my time for that type of teaching, being brought up in the Anglican church. I am a Neville reader and was happy to find his lectures on YouTube, and while searching through Rev. Ike also popped up so I decided to listen to him to. I can not stop listening to his teaching, I had tried numerous denominations then finally gave up and decided to start seeking outside these churches for spiritual enrichment, and I was finding it in various books.No one brings it across like Rev. Ike, just listening to excerpts of his sermons has made a big difference in my life, and it did not take very much time. I am not looking back at what could have been, because I know it is now my time for it is never to late to learn and my mind is eager to take it in. I listen to his sermons over and over and I learn something new each time, it has been the biggest mind changer for me and now I am anxious to read his book. I also would like to get some CD's or MP3 to listen at home and away, I am not into downloading online. In the mean time I will continue to listen online as I have been doing, for hours at a time. Gone but now forgotten, thank you Rev. Ike. You could never have gone to a Rev. Ike service and leave with the same mind set as when you went in, but it seem like that is still happening today with these churches, they rob people of their power. Like my garden, I will continue to weed negativity from my mind.

Amazing book for the mind
This book has become an essential part of my daily routine. Every morning, I dive into its pages to discover ways to improve my life and relationships. The thought-provoking questions in each chapter have helped me reflect on my actions and decisions, leading me toward a more fulfilling life. I've even shared this gem with others who have found it equally helpful. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to make positive changes in their life.

Change Your Life to Prosperity
The subject of The Law of Attraction (LOA) and positive thought has been my focus of study for many years. Rev. Ike doesn’t have a new concept with his teaching as they have been many before him. What I LOVE is his style and fresh perspective of the subject. During his time, different phrases were used. I appreciate his interpretation of scripture just as Neville Goddard dives deeper into the “hidden” meaning. Rev. Ike uses humor, common sense and great analogies to put his meaning across and encourage his readers to relate and achieve awareness. Bravo! I am enjoying this book and I am focused on study of it. It’s true that it is a book you will want to read over and over to change your negative mental programming from years of believing lies taught to us from early upbringing. Yes! God is within us! We create our life through our choices and connection. I’m happy to add this book to my library of self help and manifestation books of other authors. I consider this a value to improving my life. Rev. Ike teaches that it’s good to have money and to enjoy your life. Do yourself a favor and learn his techniques and principles. Apply them to your life. I know that I will!

I love this book! Reverend Ike literally practices what he preaches.I have many books on the law of attraction & Reverend Ike's book is one of my all-time favourites. His wisdom, humour, and no nonsense approach make this book almost as enjoyable as his online videos. If you're a Reverend Ike fan, get this book!
