## What is Dr. Norman Vincent Peale?

Dr. Norman Vincent Peale (1898 - 1993), often called the "minister-to-millions" and widely  known for his best-selling book "The Power of Positive Thinking"; created timely and timeless messages of practical faith.  His legacy continues through the work of Guideposts, an organization he helped to found, which delivers messages of hope and inspiration to millions of people each day through its publications and ministry programs.

The purpose of this app is to bring the wit, wisdom, and power of Dr. Peale's sermons to mobile phone users so they can re-discover the power of his message.

Dr. Peale developed his philosophy admittedly because of his own crushing lack of self-esteem as a child. He once said, "It is of practical value to learn to like yourself. Since you must spend so much time with yourself you might as well get some satisfaction out of the relationship."

Millions of people including presidents, stars, business executives, and other leaders sought his insight and incorporated his teachings to improve their lives.  He was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Ronald Reagan in 1984.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2025-11-12*

If you just want to hear the word of Dr. Peale, this is the app for you. I have had it for years! I hope they NEVER shut it down.

### 5/5 — My No.1 Go To App !

*2025-05-19, version 2.0.1*

This app is my no.1 goto app from getting me out of an emotional downward cycle, to feeling powerfully upbeat and becoming a possibility thinker, and that I CAN turn problems in my life into opportunities! And I have thanks to this amazing app.       Dr Peale,  brings the love of God into your heart in a real and practical way!

### 3/5 — Nice but issues

*2025-02-21*

I purchased this app and I listen to it once or twice a day and enjoy it very much. However, I have some problems with it, and it is the fact that there are many duplicates of his sermons and worse yet he is cut off before the end of some of his sermons. And sometimes the best information is at the very end as you know. For your information, you can obtain free sermons on YouTube. They are original and they are all intact as he would’ve wanted them to be.

### 5/5 — Pure gold.

*2020-08-10*

Norman Vincent peel was the father of the positive thinking movement within the Christian church through the 1980s.

Is powerful and uplifting sermons were famous throughout the land and his best selling book “the power of positive thinking” still inspires people leaving today.

We need more people like NVP today. Highly recommend his sermons, particularly the one on overcoming “Molehills” that speaks of a story about his friend Harlan Sanders.

### 1/5 — Who changed things?!?!

*2019-09-12*

I have used this app for many years and paid for it. Because I am often without cell or WiFi service due to my travels I loved the fact that I could download the sermons and listen off line. Seems that option is no longer available which is a shame as when I am offline is when I need to hear those sermons most. The links in the “more” option like restore purchases don’t even work. I hope the Peale foundation will find a new app developer who can develop an app the provides options like downloading for offline use. One star and that’s for the sermons not the app.

### 1/5 — DOES NOT WORK

*2017-02-21*

I just paid $10 for this and it will not play. I either want a refund or for it to be fixed.

### 1/5 — Mr.

*2017-02-20*

I will not upgrade at all. Apple support has also worked on it and I have sent e mails to the designer of tjhe app

### 5/5 — Practical ideas that made Norman Vincent Peale

*2016-03-12*

With life stories and their actual, practical implementation strategies that have proven themselves to be successful through well sought-out consistent effort.
For anyone who thinks Christianity is just a belief-system, Norman Vincent Peale will have you knocking on your own door. 
Maybe you would access situations differently, and offer a different slant, but undeniably Mr. Peale reaches people by sharing real-stories of real-people who changed their lives and created lives they were glad to be living.

### 5/5 — The doctor of positive thinking

*2015-11-09, version 1.5*

This is a remarkable app i absolutely love it, i download the sermons to play while im out walking my dog or driving to work and i always feel so much better afterwards like he lifts my spirit. He also has such a great sense of humour and i often find myself laughing along to his humour. God bless you Norman, your blessed words will live on forever. Xx

### 1/5 — Unsurpassable material but this app is rubbish

*2014-02-14, version 1.3.1*

These wonderful sermons are ruined by this sub-standard app! Quite a few of them fail to play; others start to play and then stop when the screen auto-lock kicks in. To listen to those particular sermons, you have to turn off the screen auto lock and waste your battery. I lost all my saved favourites when I reset the app. I am really frustrated by it and I intend to now delete this useless app and not bother trying again.
