TOOLS FOR LIFE
SCIENTOLOGY TOOLS
BROUGHT TO LIFE ON FILM
The textbook for the training of Volunteer Ministers is The Scientology Handbook, compiled from the works of L. Ron Hubbard.
In a world where the individual is increasingly beset by economic, political and social forces that can seem overwhelming, Mr. Hubbard directed the publication of the book to make Scientology Technology readily available to anyone seeking to help themselves and others.
The Scientology Handbook: Tools for Life film is comprised of 19 chapters, each providing an introduction and overview of one of the chapters of The Scientology Handbook.
With the release of the 2½-hour film, the Church of Scientology made these fundamental Scientology tools available virtually everywhere.
The film presents basic Scientology principles that anyone may use to improve any aspect of life, including the most common difficulties and challenges—a failed marriage, trouble raising children, feeling stressed or depressed, problems on the job, conflicts in the community—and how to achieve one’s personal and societal goals.
Through examples drawn from life, the film increases understanding of the major concepts in The Scientology Handbook and thus improves application of the material.
The Tools for Life film also provides viewers with a clear introduction to how the Volunteer Minister motto—“Something Can Be Done About It”—is accomplished.
To make the film available to millions more, Scientologists sponsored its placement in every lending library on Earth.
Accompanying the film are the 19 corresponding Scientology Handbook courses in 21 languages, available online free of charge. Visitors to the site are invited to enroll in any of the courses, first watching the film and then proceeding through the course.
Each course presents exact technology with step-by-step procedures that anyone can apply to improve any situation. All lessons are reviewed and answered by a trained Scientology Volunteer Minister who provides personalized direction and assistance to students, including guiding them to the courses best suited to their needs.
Having themselves benefited, many train to become Volunteer Ministers in the spirit invoked by Mr. Hubbard when he originally introduced the program:
“If one does not like the crime, cruelty, injustice and violence of this society, he can do something about it. He can become a VOLUNTEER MINISTER and help civilize it, bring it conscience and kindness and love and freedom from travail by instilling into it trust, decency, honesty and tolerance.”
