04-06-13 The Laws Of Material Wealth
The founder of the Institute of Applied Metaphysics, James Renford Powell, is the author of 13 books and three workbooks that form the basic texts of the Institute. Numerous other books are used in the curriculum of the three levels of study, but the Renford Books are the core teachings around which the Institute was formed.
He also founded the Church of Revelation to execute his ministry. The mission of COR is to help individuals with their personal ministries. It also serves the purpose of assisting individuals in meeting legal requirements where necessary. Renford and his teachings are not religious in nature but are spiritual in focus. His books are about knowing as opposed to acceptance on faith of anyone’s teachings. He has been a life long student of the Bible. The eldest child of a Christian minister, he trained for the ministry and served during the war as a missionary teacher in South Viet Nam.
In his search for common ground with his students, he became a student of Eastern religions and philosophy. Where he had been taught to look for the differences and evangelize lost souls, his studies led him to the conclusion that there were certain principles common to all religions. All of his works pertain to the Universal Laws, which have been in existence before matter and time began.
Renford remained abroad for 20 years, living and working in the Far East, the Middle East and Europe. His books focus on the core, the very heart of religion and philosophy – the original principles taught by all the Great Masters. Each book deals with how they are alike, as opposed to how they are different. He maintains the differences came about due to the organization builders who came after the Great Masters.
James Renford is the author of 13 books, all of which are based in metaphysical studies. He is the founder of the Institute of Applied Metaphysics, a three degree level program facilitating evolution and unfoldment, and IAMPress, a publishing company specializing in work with authors who want to maintain ownership of their work. His personal ministry is called COR (Church of Revelation) and is an online worldwide ministry. Details on these organizations can be found at www.IAM-COR.org . Renford created the E-Zine (magazine) Lightways and has developed the RBR Network of talk shows on blogtalkradio.com/renford The Renford Broadcast Network is available on YouTube and includes The Book Man Show, The Core Concepts Lectures, The Laws of Material Wealth Personal Development Program and Metaphysical related movies.
Renford trained for the ministry and served during the war as a missionary teacher in South Vietnam. In his search of common ground with his students, he became a student of Eastern religions and philosophy. His studies led him to the conclusion that there were certain principles common to all religions. He remained abroad for 20 years, living, working and traveling throughout the Far East, the Middle East and Europe immersing himself in the Chinese and Arab cultures, their languages and religions. His studies of their ancient texts and cultures were not just book learning but live and up close. He insists that his higher education commenced when he began his mission in South Vietnam in 1966.
