Arise and Walk

“Arise and Walk, or Jesus the Man – Christ the God” is a book by Daniel Boone Herring, first published in 1930. This work delves into the teachings of Jesus, presenting them not merely as moral lessons but as a blueprint for harnessing the mind’s latent power. Herring interprets Christ’s message through a metaphysical and New Thought lens, suggesting that Jesus was a “supreme Master of mental power” — teaching unity of consciousness and mental laws that can bring healing, freedom, and abundance. In the book, chapters explore: Mental training and the “Practice of Mind”; The “Cosmic Idea” dramatized by Jesus; Techniques for thought, emotion, faith, and resurrection; and, Methods to align one’s consciousness with universal intelligence for transformation and healing. This work reflects the early 20th-century fascination with New Thought and spiritual psychology, contributing to the broader movement that saw Christian narratives as keys to unlocking mental and emotional self-mastery. It influenced readers interested in self-help, mind science, and spiritual healing traditions.
