About New Thought Author Nona Lovell Brooks

Nona Lovell Brooks , described as a "prophet of modern mystical Christianity", was a leader in the New Thought movement and a co-founder of the Church of Divine Science.

In 1902, Brooks founded Fulfillment, a Divine Science periodical. During this period, she also served on several Denver civic boards, including the Colorado State Prison Board.

After World War I Brooks succeeded her sister Fannie James as head of the College and in 1922 Brooks aligned the growing Church of Divine Science with the International New Thought Alliance.

Remember always that the senses give us only a partial report of the true state of anything. Let us look with the eye of Spirit, the single eye, and our bodies shall be full of light.
