Only Receive by Michele Longo O'Donnell

"The terrible problem of man continuing to attempt to 'reach' God, or heaven, by self-effort, is that it has always ended in a sense of failure and it always will." Michele O'Donnell proposes that we "Only Receive" what the Universe stands ready to offer us and we will find the peace that Jesus says lies within us. She accepts the premise of The Secret and supports if by quoting Jesus as saying "According to your belief, so shall you experience." [Matthew 9:29, 31] The author is a nurse and much of her book addresses issues of ill health. I do not believe all her claims of miraculous healing, but there is still much wisdom embedded in this little book.
