Excerpt from Preface:
Students for many years have come to this School asking for a better understanding of God, and desiring knowledge of the best way to get the most out of life. They have heard God spoken of as being afar off, when He is as close to us as the breath we breathe, closer than our hands and feet...

Excerpts:

• Learn to think constructively of all persons, all things, all events, and all circumstances. Appraise them from the ideal point of view. As you do this you will gradually transform your whole existence for the better. These are the means whereby you may steadily promote your welfare and advancement. As you train yourself to mentally look for the good, you will move towards the good; and as you form higher and larger conceptions of the good, these elements will begin to find expression in your words, acts, character, person, talents, powers, attainments, and achievements; that is, all things in your life will commence to improve as the direct result of your improved thinking. This process does not imply, however, that you are to ignore the wrongs of life, the empty places, and the undeveloped states of being; but that you are to think right through and beyond them towards the hidden Good or the Principle within that is ever seeking a higher and fuller expression. You will, therefore, cease to condemn and to criticize in a destructive manner; instead, you will seek to bring out the good in yourself and in others, and to discover and develop the greater possibilities everywhere
  
• Begin now to take a superior view of yourself, your life and circumstances, and of things and persons in general. As you mentally perceive the better and greater, you will consciously and unconsciously reach out for the better and the greater. In other words, your thoughts, desires, words, and mental actions will gradually become filled with the "spirit of progress" and your faculties will grow stronger and your powers will increase
  
• Success is bringing one's self and one's actions to a standard higher than the ordinary human standard. Most all the failures and defeats in life are due to mental blindness. When the heart is right the head thinks right. All our acts are judged by our inner motives, not by the outer accomplishments.
  
• Success, then, summarized, is the way we learn to use two valuable things--our time and thought. Knowledge alone is not success; it is the way we use that knowledge. It is important always to remember that back of all our toil and struggle, under the dust and smoke of things, there are the arms of the Father guiding, guarding and supporting us. Whatever you lack, He has; whatever you need, He can supply; whatever obstacle you encounter, God, within you and about you, can overcome it. "So near to man," wrote Emerson, "when duty whispers low, 'thou must' the youth replies, 'I can.'"
