We believe that during this time of change and tranformation in the world, it is essential that these public domain works are universally accessible by the public in an easy to read and use non-profit library.
To get the library started, we had to spend thousands of dollars to buy books. Fortunately, today, more and more New Thought Sharers are seeing the wisdom of our efforts and scanning their old books and magazines and sending us these scans.
Some wonderful people like Dale Lamb have bought books and sent them to us to insure that they are placed in the library. Why did Dale spend $100 to buy Troward's Comments On The Psalms and send it to us? Because we scanned it, processed it and placed it in the library and it is now there for you to access for free. Click on the link and check it out!
When you work with us, we insure that these books become a public resource for free forever for everyone!
Our work stands in stark contrast to online corporations which process texts into pdf's and sell them to you. Texts in New Thought Library are free forever!
Talk to ministers around the world who use the resources we provide for them. For many New Thought ministers this is how they are teaching their classes.
What do you do with books, when you are done with them?
For a period of time, we retain the books to check for accuracy of processing in response to error checking by New Thought Practitioners around the world. After this time is up, we check with physical archives around the world to see if they already have copies of the books. If an archive has a copy of the book, we check with another archive. We have no plans on creating a physical archive ourselves. We support the archives which support us.
With the help of these existing physical archives and compassionate New Thought individuals we will bring you all public domain New Thought books and in return we will pledge support for those physical archives, so that they are maintained as bibliographic museums preserving these works in their original form for all time.
When New Thought Seekers or Sharers look for inspiration, they find it easily at NewThoughtLibrary which is free because of your tithes and donations.
Seekers and Sharers of New Thought Wisdom save time and energy by cutting and pasting from the library into their word processors. Texts are scanned by us and by New Thought Sharers around the world, then processed using Optical Character Recognition as opposed to being hand typed. This insures that the texts are accurate and true to the original. In some cases, we are adding the original scans to make the library more useful to you. We maintain the original page numbers below each page of text and insure the .htm page number corresponds with the original page number so that you can use the library for research purposes & online studies. We listen to your feedback regarding presentation to insure ease of use. If a seeker or sharer ever finds a textual error, we will re-check the online text against the original scan and make the correction. Your tithes insure that these New Thought texts are free forever! |
