The Twelve Powers of Man outlines Charles Fillmore's map of twelve spiritual faculties-faith, strength, wisdom (judgment), love, power, imagination, understanding, will, order, zeal, renunciation, and life-through a program of practical Christianity. Rooted in early New Thought, Fillmore blends biblical metaphysics with pragmatic counsel, assigning each faculty a scriptural prototype and a bodily center. The style is sermonic yet orderly, moving from definition to application with denials and affirmations, and aiming at cultivation of the "Christ mind" for inner transformation and ethical action. Co-founder of the Unity movement with his wife, Myrtle, Fillmore developed a theology of mind action after personal experiences of healing and decades of prayer work through Silent Unity. Largely self-educated, influenced by Emersonian idealism and American metaphysical currents, he fashioned a pastoral philosophy attentive to everyday problems-health, prosperity, relational harmony-while remaining rigorously devotional. The Twelve Powers distills topics he taught in lectures and lessons for a burgeoning lay readership. Scholars of religion, spiritual directors, and reflective seekers will find here a coherent primer on character formation within metaphysical Christianity. Read it for its historical significance, for its method of disciplined prayer, and for its enduring claim: that spiritual faculties, once awakened, reorder a life. Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the author's voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readable-distilled, never diluted.
