The further I got into Terry Cole-Whittaker’s latest book I began wondering how I missed the profound wisdom she’s been delivering over the past twenty years. I picked up "Every Saint Has a Past, Every Sinner a Future," because another New Thought writer had mentioned her name. Unlike some books that pack a powerful punch in the first few chapters, then fizzle in the end, this book carries you to the mid-point, then propels you through the final page.

Terry Cole-Whittaker, author of the number-one bestseller "How to Have More in a Have Not World," and the often quoted, "What You Think of Me Is None of My Business," lets readers of the latest book have a glimpse of her personal spiritual journey. While sharing the intimate details along her path, she also peppers her prose with helpful exercises to aid readers in their own personal discoveries of talents and beneficial traits. These fill-in-the-blank sections, along with sprinkled "pearls" of wisdom and a bevy of success mantras, give the reader tools to build a life of spiritual and material riches.

The author uses the term "upgrading" to put a new spin on the frequently touted concept of releasing people, material possessions, and ideas that no longer suit us. She says, "You let go of one thing for another and in this way you climb from where you are to where you want to be." Getting to that point is the focus of the entire book, and after reading about her spiritual journey you’ll be willing to allow her to hand you the tools so you can chisel your way to the peak of your potential.

Unlike some books that can be read once from library shelves, this one you’ll want to buy. Recording your personal entries in the fill-in-the-blank sections and reviewing them later will be important for your spiritual journey.

Now that I’ve finally discovered Terry Cole-Whittaker’s teachings, I think I’ll go hit the bookstores and ferret out her other gems from previous books that have eluded me over time.
