Death and Life are in The Power of the Tongue by Elizabeth E. Dallimore David
Publication: 1927 privately published by “A Hollywood Citizen”
A Christian metaphysical and New Thought interpretation of scripture focused on the creative and destructive power of thought and speech. The work belongs to the early twentieth-century Los Angeles New Thought movement. During this period many prominent and lesser-known metaphysical and esoteric writers published books on spirituality through small presses or at their own expense. These works were often issued in limited numbers and can now be very difficult to acquire.
Little biographical information appears to survive concerning Elizabeth E. Dallimore Davis. She was an obscure metaphysical Christian writer whose work explores thought, speech, spiritual law and personal transformation through biblical interpretation.
