* Claude Bristol was a hard-headed journalist, covering the religion beat for a large city newspaper. 


* He met people from every denomination and sect, and later read hundreds of books on psychology, religion, science, metaphysics and ancient magic. 


* Gradually, Bristol began to see the ‘golden thread’ which runs through all religions and esoteric teachings: that belief itself has amazing powers. 


* Most people go through life without realizing the effect that strong belief can have on reaching their goals. 


* Bristol’s powerful book shows us how and why believing is a kind of magic. Understand it, and success becomes more certain.
