It's Still New: How a 19th Century Spiritual Revolution Transformed My Life, How It Can Transform the World

It's Still New is an expansion of the doctoral thesis of Rev. Gale Stewart, D.D. Stewart explores the New Thought Philosophy from its roots to the present, all the while asking herself, "Is it (New Thought) still new? Is it still relevant for this century, this present world, these times?" In her exploration, Stewart compares New Thought with modern science, that is, quantum physics, epigenetics, positive psychology, neuroscience and neuroplasticity. She asks, "How does New Thought, a spiritual philosophy created in the late 19th century, address the issues of today: over-population, poverty, diseases such as cancer, war, bullying global warming, racial profiling and hate crimes?" Stewart's exploration and questioning began with a personal crisis of faith and ended with a faith stronger than ever, not just in the relevance of New Thought for today's issues, but also in a deeper and more profound connection to her God, who she calls her Magnificent Obsession. "I…am in awe. I especially love how [Stewart] intertwines the concepts of self-healing, self-responsibility, and God. This book has shown my science-based mind that positive thinking and actions, along with a deep faith is the ground stone of a wonderful and fulfilling life. [Stewart has] an amazing way to convey feelings into words that we all can relate to. I am honored to have been chosen to preview this book…Erma Della Rocco, R.N.
