The Secret of Spiritual Power

George D. Watson explains the power of the spirit, and how it may be awakened to assist with life's trials, and bring the believer closer to God.

Discussing the nature of Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit and the Holy Ghost, Watson makes frequent use of the scripture. Over the course of eighteen chapters, the author establishes what spiritual power is, how we may harness it to beneficent ends, and warns the reader of a variety of bad influences that can detract from its potentiality.

Unlike other spiritual manuals which focus purely on the emotional, Watson includes a chapter on sustenance. Eating and drinking carry firm parallels with the spiritual life; while certain Christians only prefer a daily or weekly piece of sustenance, pre-packaged and dispensed in a church, the complete Christian can assign himself the nourishment - the solid food and liquid of spiritual wholeness.

As a devoted adherent to God spiritual matters, the author felt impelled to instruct others on the power that lies within us all. For George Watson, insight and appreciation of the divine was a matter of subduing the wrongful influences in our hearts and assenting to the Lord's all-embracing power. In life, Watson was renowned for his deep contemplation of spiritual things, communion with God comprising a crucial element of his existence.
