Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
Love Gratitude
S. Joel Goldsmith · 2023
🎙 Narrated by Dennis Rowley
54/100
👎 Skip It
Goldsmith's two essays are meditative and historically significant within the New Thought movement, but this isn't orthodox Christian teaching — listeners expecting mainstream Christian devotional content may be caught off guard by the metaphysical 'Infinite Way' framing. It's a niche, decades-old text with no independent reviews to lean on. Dennis Rowley narrates, but there's nothing on record about how it sounds.
✦ Penny’s Take — this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below. It’s an honest first-party read — not a page-by-page personal one. The gold ✓ Penny Tested mark is reserved for books Penny reads cover to cover herself.
⚠ Parent note — our reviewers flagged: New Thought/metaphysical framework, not orthodox Christian doctrine — doctrinal mismatch for a faith-friendly Christian audience, though not graphic content. We still scored it 54; these are context for your family, not an automatic skip.
