WRITER’S DIGESTBOOK REVIEW5 GIFTS for an Abundant Life: Create a Consciousness of WealthApril, 2004“This is a lovely book, very nicely produced in all respects, from the layout of the pages to the fine editing. The author’s voice is a friendly and helpful one and the material is very personal in a way that invites readers into the book as well as adds interest. Many, many people are interested in improving their lives through spiritual growth and will appreciate this contribution to their personal development. This format, based on the five gifts, will also keep any reader hoping for self-help advice on track, so that he or she can benefit from the messages the author presents. Those who stick with the book and follow its instructions will certainly end up with some real improvements to his or her enjoyment of life.The inclusion of other people’s success stories is an excellent addition to the book as both an inspiration and a demonstration that commitment to following a spiritual self-improvement path can really pay off. The author has worked very hard to provide a full experience for the readers with this book. Her references to other works and quotations from other authors broaden the impact of the material by awakening ideas in the readers and giving other avenues for them to later explore.The addition of a range of exercises that readers can do while striving to master the various gifts will be helpful.”

While I will give the author A for effort, this is a rehash of the same old prosperity principles. There are a few alterations, such as the Heart Map instead of the Wheel of Fortune. The anecdotes are unimpressive, the writing trite and the exercises uninspiring. Readers interested in manifesting abundance would do better by turning to the old standards. Joseph Murphy and Catherine Ponder may be dated but are still effective. The Abraham material by Esther and Jerry Hicks is fresh and useful. Joe Vitale covers the same principles in his sprightly style, which is emminently more readable that the instant offering. Lynn Grabhorn translates the Abraham teachings in a user-friendly style in Excuse Me Your Life is Waiting.
The author, a counselor and social worker, gets bogged down in relationships and psychological angst. Unloading old baggage, getting in touch with the inner child and the like have all been addressed before with greater effect. Her handling of these subjects is heavy handed and annoying. I found nothing original here, only a clumsy rendition of the same old stuff.

This is a wonderful book! GIFTS is an acronym for Gratitude, Intentions, Forgiveness, Tithing, and Surrrender. For each one there is a in-depth description, a beautiful quotation, personal success stories of Diane’s friends and acquaintances told in their own words, instructions in applying it to your life, and a suggestion of a gift to give yourself upon completion of each principle. The book is beautifully written, easy-to-read, and heartfelt. I highly recommend it. Thank you, Diane Harmony, for sharing.

Just having this book fall into my hands showed me abundance in action! Before I even got into the first chapter, I was excited to see that “5 Gifts for an Abundant Life” had been reviewed and enjoyed by two of my favorite ministers, Rev. Michael Beckwith and Rev. Christian Sorensen. I knew that I had a winner in my hands.
The principles of prosperity that Diane Harmony writes about are presented in the acronym “GIFTS”: Gratitude, Intentions, Forgiveness, Tithing and Surrender. She refers to the accepting and intuitive knowing that we feel in our hearts as the “Mind of Our Heart” or “Intuitive Knower.” Harmony teaches us to move from our limited beliefs of lack and separation from our Source to abundant beliefs of unlimited supply. She reminds us how powerful we are and that if we shift our beliefs to ones of abundance, we can change our reality and in doing so, change our lives.
Harmony makes the process of change very easy to understand in the way that she lays her chapters on the GIFTS out. She starts with an in-depth description of the gift. Then she presents a mystic’s writings on the gift, followed by a personal success story of a person’s experience in using the gift. She provides instructions on how to apply the gift to your life and then recommends an activity to put the gift into action.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and have enjoyed putting the principles to work. Early in the book, it seemed like ever time I would experience a limiting thought, my eyes would fall on the word “Detach,” in some part of her writing. “Okay,” I thought, “I can do this!” Now, when I start to feel my old fears, I think to myself, “DETACH!!!” I have had this book for about a week and have already seen a great deal of abundance in action in my life. I am deeply grateful to Ms. Harmony for reminding me that there are no limits to what I can believe or achieve and for showing me how to tap into the loving Source of supply. I highly recommend this book to readers who are interested in learning more about applying abundance to their lives.

It is obvious the information presented in this book is based on experience, not theory. Using the principles of Gratitude, Intentions, Forgiveness, Tithing and Surrender will lead to an abundant life, but each one has its challenges.
Chapter by chapter you are guided through a process of inner healing and growth of consciousness.
The author suggests finding a Prosperity Prayer partner to complete the exercises with you, but if you’re going it alone you’ll find all the support and gentle encouragement you need built right into the text. Stories from students who have taken the 5 Gifts for an Abundant Life Course reveal how the process works in real life. The insight the author shares from her own journey provides inspiration and her words of wisdom about the process make each step forward easier to take.
I highly recommend this book for anyone who wishes to learn how to live an abundant life.
