Writings of other prominent New Thought authors may also be considered, as may contemporary works that explain the Science of Mind in light of 21st century ideas.
Examples of media projects we have supported to date include:
- Comprehensive Sourcebook of the writings of Dr. Ernest Holmes.
- Spanish and Russian translations of selected books by Ernest Holmes and other writers
- A series of four DVDs on essential Science of Mind concepts intended for local church outreach efforts.
