Norman Vincent Peale concluded  the book with the statement:

 

I wrote the book with the sincere desire to help you.

 

We may never meet in person, but in this book we have met. We are spiritual friends. I pray for you. God will help you - so believe (in yourself, in prayer and in God)  and live successfully.
