About Joseph Murphy
Joseph Murphy (1898 to 1981) was born in Ireland and raised as a Roman Catholic. He studied for the priesthood and joined the Jesuits, then left after an experience with healing prayer and moved to the United States, where he worked as a pharmacist in New York. In the mid 1940s he moved to Los Angeles and was ordained in Religious Science in 1946, and later in Divine Science. He became minister of the Los Angeles Divine Science Church in 1949, and under him it grew into one of the biggest congregations in the New Thought movement. Murphy earned a doctorate in psychology from the University of Southern California and began to write. He wrote more than 30 books, including The Power of Your Subconscious Mind and How to Attract Money.
