Synopsis
A thoughtful guide to how spiritual law shapes life and peace. This edition presents material from Chauncey Giles’s Progress in Spiritual Knowledge, exploring how divine order governs both heart and world. It foregrounds a calm, principled view of sin, punishment, and the path to true freedom through spiritual insight.
The book argues that all divine laws—spiritual, moral, civil, and physical—are self-executing, with consequences bound to the act of sin. It explains why forgiveness does not erase penalties while the sin remains, and why true release comes from turning back to life rather than from arbitrary pardon. Readers encounter a hopeful, practical vision of peace that grows from aligning thought and affection with the Lord’s truth.
- How sin and its penalties are connected in a universal law of operation
- Why the Lord does not remit penalties while the sin persists
- How inner peace arises from embracing divine truth and love
- How worldly concerns interact with spiritual life and lasting happiness
Ideal for readers who are exploring spiritual law, the nature of salvation, and the idea of peace beyond worldly troubles; it suits those studying New Church perspectives and seekers of practical faith.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Providence in events which at the time seemed unimportant and often unfortunate ;and when they turn from such memory of the past to anticipation of renewed life in the higher world where the same Divine hand will be more plainly felt and followed with more perfect trust. So it was with the Rev. Chauncey Giles, who passed into the spiritual world at his home in Philadelphia, November 6, 1893. Mr. Giles searliest memories took him back to the hills of western Massachusetts, where he was born, inC harlemont, on the banks of theD eerfield River, on the nth of May, 1813. The region is picturesque, and to one who visits it in summer is most attractive ;but the hills are rocky for the plough, and farming, the business of the people, is laborious. The winters, too, are long and cold, and for months the ground is buried in snow and the river is frozen with clear ice, often several feet in thickness. The parents of the friend whose life we are recording This biographical sketch is reprinted with slight change from The New-C hurch Review of January, 1894, by the permission of the publishers.
