What reading level is The Forgotten Secret book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Thus Professor Hale finds art, scholarship, literature, and lastly the love of Nature, losing their attraction ; they melt out of his life because his life has submitted itself to a higher la...w of gravitation. It is not that these things are valueless; it is simply that we have given them an exaggerated value, and they now sink into their true proportions.

And it is just this glimpse of eter- nity which we gain in the loneliness of prayer ; we see the greater things of life, and the lesser things sink out of sight.
