The ABC's of Unconditional Receiving

About this ebook
Whoever believes "it is more blessed to give than to receive" will be stuck wondering if they deserve to receive an answered prayer. This book helps people who are stuck waiting for their prayers to be answered. The Bible says, "It is the Fathers good pleasure to give you the kingdom" (Luke 12:32). Thus, it is your birthright to receive unconditionally.
This book is about receiving what you prayed for and how it happens. You will be introduced to the three steps of unconditional receiving that Dr. Joyce has created for you to easily join her and the many others who have shared their stories of unconditional receiving.
Dr. Joyce Hutchinson Craft holds bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees as well as certification as a spiritual practitioner. She attended Folk High School in Jamaica, West Indies, which had teachings centered around the school motto, "With God, all things are possible." It is the keystone to her life and her work. She blends education, life experience, and the Science of Mind to teach others how to attain their highest good through spiritual philosophy. Her work as an author and spiritual practitioner includes teaching and lecturing.

The ABC's of Unconditional Receiving
"I've studied Religious Science for 14 years now and have been blessed by studying Spiritual Mind Treatments and how treatments impact one's thoughts and world. I appreciate Religious Science Practitioner, Dr. Joyce Hutchinson Craft and her simple yet powerful guidance in her book, The ABCs of Unconditional Receiving.
This book provides keen insight into the meaning of Spiritual Mind Treatment and how to use it, along with meditation. Having been raised in the Black Baptist Church as a young girl, I certainly appreciate the mix of Dr. Ernest Holmes' teaching and Biblical verses that consistently remind me that both are powerful drivers of my spiritual growth and development - I don't have to drop one for the other.
I enjoyed reading the experiences of manifestation and one, in particular, resonates with me as I prepare for a celebration party for my son who is graduating from high school! This book is one that is a constant read, for examples, exercises, and scriptures that will add to your daily spiritual practice. I affirm, believe, and confirm the extraordinary blessing that this book will be to me and the world. Thank you, Dr. Craft, for this book and for your manifestation of it to bless the world. Namaste. And so it is!"

"Dr. Joyce's work is a delightful and refreshing perspective for anyone wanting help discovering the underlying messages of life despite the wide array of life's challenges. In today's complex world, we cannot find enough applications or a better explanation of the principles that are deeply rooted in Science of Mind philosophy and treatment. The ABC's of Unconditional Receiving provides a unique glimpse into the metaphysical world and honors what a higher perspective can offer. With its practical exercises we gain understanding into the law and gifts of receiving, from a spiritual viewpoint. Through one of Dr. Joyce's discussions in her book, we discover a direct parallel with the powerful and often misleading programming that many of us are operating under automatically. She challenges us to reorient from automated algorithms to the simple orientation of the computer programmer. As a student of philosophy, spiritual psychology and various healing arts , I found Dr. Joyce's work a joy to read. This book is without a doubt, a timeless treasure!"

"The ABC's of Unconditional Receiving outlines the steps for taking our deepest desires and making them manifest. The spiritual principles used to co-create a life by design are given in clear, concise steps that anyone can follow.
Dr. Joyce not only explains the process of manifestation, but she also accompanies each step with real life examples. These principles work and can be used by anyone seeking to consciously create a life filled with magnificent outcomes."

"The ABCs of Unconditional Receiving is a nice mix of encouraging and supportive spiritual practices and information. As a new Religious Science Practitioner, I think this is a great gift of spiritual discovery to recommend to clients and others interested in the teachings of Religious Science. The author, Dr. Joyce, provides suggested activities at the end of each chapter as a bonus, which makes the book an excellent text for a class or workshop. I also appreciated the Bible verses woven throughout, and the summary, which tied everything together nicely."

Author's Notes
There are many synonyms for God, such as Infinite Spirit , Father , Father-Mother God , and Universal Mind . For the sake of simplicity and readability, in this book, I used Infinite Spirit , Mind , and God interchangeably because they are powerful yet simple to internalize. This is an energy that is omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent (everywhere present, all-knowing, and all-powerful). You may mentally substitute whatever name for God that is most dear and most comfortable for you.
Also, when discussing God, I have used the third person neutral form It. This in no way implies that I am referring to God as an object. This powerful energy cannot be contained within a gendered pronoun, such as he and she or him and her. I believe God's love is for everyone and is a power for good.
Spiritual Mind Treatment is a form of affirmative prayer also called Scientific Prayer Treatment because this practice is based on scientific principles. Since both terms are equal and interchangeable, I am comfortable using the term Scientific Prayer Treatment.
This affirmative method of prayer was developed by Dr. Ernest Holmes (1887–1960), the founder of the Science of Mind. He defined Scientific Prayer Treatment as the time, process and method necessary to the changing of our thought. Treatment is clearing the thought of negation, of doubt and fear and causing it to perceive the ever-presence of God.
With this treatment, we do not beg or beseech God for the good we choose. Instead, we align ourselves with the principles, declare what we are seeking, and allow God to create what we ask for and bring it into our experience.
I have received permission to share the real-life demonstrations and testimonials contained in this book. Although I did not change any details, in order to honor their privacy, I have used the first and last initials of people's names in the demonstrations and testimonials.
