"God and His manifestation is no longer any mystery." Thus states Vivian May Williams at the beginning of this book, and in the ten unique lessons that follow, she clearly explains why and how this is so.The author reveals the key to knowing how to "pray aright." When we understand the nature of our true Self, the illusion of the senses is dispelled. Health is witnessed instead of disease, wealth in place of poverty, harmony in place of discord."Darkness is not real-it is but the absence of light." Our "darkness," or ignorance of Truth, keeps us bound by our false beliefs. How are we to remove this veil of ignorance? We learn that "by contemplating the perfection of the spiritual world, the action of God which is always taking place upon man, this mist is dispelled and man witnesses heaven. As this action takes place, dispelling wrong thoughts, man awakens in consciousness to find himself in the kingdom of heaven (harmony) here and now, thus fulfilling the scriptural saying, 'Thy kingdom come ... in earth, as it is in heaven.' "The author's conviction is that we are not destined to remain in darkness, with God a mystery. In the lessons presented here, she has given us the means through which this understanding is possible. "Understanding, perception, and vision are man's only redemption."

"In this compilation of Bible verses is found a clear presentation of the Trinity, or triune God; the deity of Jesus Christ-His mission, His atonement, His revealment of the Soul-Self. The reader will see what the Bible has to say about 'law' and what it means to be 'saved by grace.' It is also disclosed that Jesus Christ is much more than a wayshower."Lillian DeWaters has presented us with a valuable resource in which she has "used the Bible to explain the Bible." She maintains that the Bible is our sufficient guide to eternal life; no book can take its place, and "it is the standard of divine teaching."Her unfoldments of the spiritual meaning of Scripture will deepen the understanding of any student of truth, and "as the words in this book are read, many will find themselves in a Presence they had not known before."Her heartfelt purpose in writing this book is revealed in her opening words: "Go little book, labor of love, and in His name preach the living gospel of salvation. Go, open the blind eyes, unstop the dull ears, quicken the fainting heart, waken the sleeping dead, and oh, bring the multitude to drink at the living fountain and eat of the living bread, -entering the heavenly kingdom prepared for them through the victory of Jesus Christ."

"Never has humanity stood more in need of a knowledge of the truth which will bring to it the real salvation than right now."How are we to attain this knowledge of truth? What is "the price of glory"?"No real progress in mind and heart can ever be made without the sacrifice of the personal self." Each time we lay this false self on the altar, "we are that much nearer the end of the mental separation between ourselves and our experience of perfection."Merely reading and talking about our oneness with Christ is not sufficient. But as we accept the grace of God, freely given, the price of glory is paid.Lillian DeWaters writes out of a vital experience, grounded on the truth of the Bible, and brings clear, practical instruction to everyone who would grow in the Spirit, thus bringing the illumination and reform which must come, in order that humanity may awaken to its original peace and perfection. As we surrender ourselves wholly to our God and to the one "altogether lovely" Jesus Christ Reality of us all, we shall transcend all the discordant conditions of our personal experiences, together with all their limitation, and we shall know that we are hereby paying the price of Glory, for we shall find ourselves in a New Day-the Day of perpetual blessedness, the Day of transcendent Love.

"Sometimes we take many steps before the Way opens up clearly to us, but after we have taken one-that is, fixed our inner vision in the right direction, toward the heights-other steps come naturally."The Finished Kingdom provides a clear path for those searching for the higher way, the way that leads from the mental plane to the spiritual realm of the fourth dimension, or what Lillian DeWaters refers to as "the finished kingdom."While the author acknowledges that the reasoning mind has its place, she points to intuition as a step beyond. "Reason uses the process of analysis, while intuition is a state of illumined consciousness." Reason searches, but divine intuition knows. Reason sometimes closes the door to illumination, with its questions, arguments, and discussions, but intuition labors not. "Intuition belongs to the high plane ... it is the laborless activity of Christ in you." Through her personal experience and revelation, Lillian DeWaters inspires the reader to open himself to Truth; to rise above the mind, which says miracles are not possible, and to follow the example of Christ Jesus. This is a present possibility, and she assures us that "if we can't, with one stroke, rise to the heights of freedom, we rise stroke by stroke, but we rise nevertheless." "Come, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world!"
