"Its purpose is distinctly practical. It is most fascinatingly written, and deserves the remarkable success it has achieved."—The Review of Reviews.
"The volume abounds in passages of great beauty and strength; but the striking feature of the book is, after all, the solid, sensible, healthy exposition of the one theme it is written to enforce."—New York Independent.
"It is one of the simplest, clearest works ever written, dealing with the power of the interior forces in moulding the every-day conditions of life."—San Francisco Bulletin.
"Mr. Trine can write well upon such topics as this. He is alive, vigorous, cheery, confident. The work has distinctiveness in its style and method."—The Literary World, London.

"A creed of wholesome living."
Mr. Trine here chooses a series of texts born of daily life and experience, and devotes a page or two to each thought. It is really a little group of lay sermons dealing with the power of inner forces—pithy, practical, optimistic, and inspired by the author's keen sympathy and wide observation.
