Prosperity (Annotated‪)‬

Charles Fillmore's Prosperity is a classic work of New Thought metaphysics, presenting abundance not merely as material acquisition but as the outward expression of spiritual law. Written in a lucid, scriptural, and exhortative style, the book interprets biblical language through the lens of mental discipline, affirmative prayer, and divine substance. Its literary context belongs to the early twentieth-century American mind-cure and prosperity-gospel tradition, yet it remains distinctly Unity in its emphasis on consciousness, faith, and practical realization. Fillmore, cofounder of the Unity movement with his wife Myrtle, was shaped by Christian mysticism, Transcendentalist currents, and the healing philosophies that flourished in late nineteenth-century America. His own experiences of spiritual healing and institutional ministry informed his conviction that thought, word, and belief participate in divine creative power. Prosperity reflects his desire to offer readers a systematic spiritual economics grounded in Scripture and inward transformation. This book is recommended for readers interested in the history of American metaphysical religion, affirmative spirituality, and the theological roots of prosperity teaching. It will especially reward those willing to read it both devotionally and critically, as a revealing document of faith, psychology, and modern religious self-fashioning.
