Infos

The Twelve Powers of Man distills Charles Fillmore's metaphysical Christianity into a map of spiritual faculties—faith, strength, wisdom (judgment), love, power, imagination, understanding, will, order, zeal, renunciation, and life—each correlated with an apostolic archetype and a bodily center. Through allegorical readings of Scripture, exposition, and practices of denial-and-affirmation prayer, Fillmore presents regeneration as disciplined cooperation with divine mind. Situated within the New Thought milieu, the book marries pastoral counsel to a quasi-systematic theology, translating biblical symbolism into interior practice. As cofounder of the Unity movement with Myrtle Fillmore, Charles Fillmore brought decades of teaching, publishing, and the Silent Unity prayer ministry to this synthesis. His exposure to American metaphysical currents and his wife's healing testimony oriented him toward pragmatic devotion; wide reading in Scripture, comparative religion, and emerging psychology supplied a conceptual lexicon. The volume consolidates lectures delivered in Kansas City and beyond, refining Unity's methods of mental cleansing and affirmative realization into an integrated pedagogy. Scholars of American religion, ministers seeking a structured program of spiritual formation, and lay readers exploring contemplative practice will find this a lucid, field-tested guide. Read it for its disciplined method, its inventive exegesis, and its abiding confidence that character can be consciously spiritualized.

Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the author's voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readable—distilled, never diluted. Enriched Edition extras: Introduction · Synopsis · Historical Context · Brief Analysis · 4 Reflection Q&As · Editorial Footnotes.
