Miracle Power For Richer Living

‘Miracle Power for Richer Living’ by Dr. Joseph Murphy reveals the astonishing miracle power that can release a flood tide of abundance into your life. Step-by-step, in crystal clear language, explains exactly what to do and how to do it to unlock what Dr. Murphy calls the ‘Treasure House of Infinity’ and automatically reap a golden harvest of wealth, power, friendship, and spiritual prosperity.

In this, Dr. Joseph Murphy grows on his theory that the latent powers inherent in our subconscious can improve our lives. This tremendous power can improve our health; create wealth; overcome debilitating factors such as alcoholism and drug addiction; improve marital relations; and, in general, provide guidance in making key decisions.

Dr. Joseph Murphy has been acclaimed as a significant figure in the human potential movement. He was one of the best-selling authors in the mid-twentieth century. With thirty books to his credit, his most notable, ‘The Power of Your Subconscious Mind’, has sold millions of copies and has been translated into seventeen languages. Dr. Murphy wrote, taught, counseled, and lectured to thousands of people worldwide as Minister-Director of the Church of Divine Science in Los Angeles and through his daily radio program.

Joseph Murphy was born in Ireland, the son of a private boy's school headmaster and raised a Roman Catholic. He studied for the priesthood and joined the Jesuits. In his twenties, an experience with healing prayer led him to leave the Jesuits and move to the United States, where he became a pharmacist in New York (having a degree in chemistry by that time). Here he attended the Church of the Healing Christ (part of the Church of Divine Science), where Emmet Fox had become minister in 1931.

In the mid 1940s, he moved to Los Angeles, where he met Religious Science founder Ernest Holmes, and was ordained into Religious Science by Holmes in 1946, thereafter teaching at the Institute of Religious Science. A meeting with Divine Science Association president Erwin Gregg led to him being reordained into Divine Science, and he became the minister of the Los Angeles Divine Science Church in 1949, which he built into one of the largest New Thought congregations in the country. In the next decade, Murphy married, earned a PhD in psychology from the University of Southern California and started writing. After his first wife died in 1976, he remarried to a fellow Divine Science minister who was his longstanding secretary. He died in 1981.
