Review

Dr. Norman Vincent Peale The Game of Life is filled with wisdom and creative insights. That its teachings will work I know to be fact, for I've long used them myself.

Dr. Norman Vincent Peale By studying and practicing the principles laid down in this book one may find prosperity, solve problems, have better health, achieve personal relations -- in a word, win the game of life. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

From the Publisher

Charles William Daniel (1871-1955) was a maverick free-thinker whose tiny publishing house had august links with many of the most influential thinkers and movements of the 20th century. To wit, copies of Daniel's books could be found in the library at Ghandi's ashram. This spirit lived on after his death, and the company maintained its niche by publishing definitive texts on a variety of spiritual and esoteric subjects. Many of these titles, notably those on Aromatherapy and Bach Flower remedies, have become standard works on the subject. When the C.W. Daniel list went looking for a new home, the Vermilion and Rider imprints were the natural place for this wonderful collection of authors. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Book will change your Life!, August 4, 1999
By 
This review is from: The Game of Life and How to Play It (Paperback)
I have read many self development books yet it was this book that made me finally understand how simple it really is. There are distinct Laws of the Universe that when acknowledged and applied correctly will bring you everything that is yours by Divine Right.

As a society in general, we have been led to believe that life is much more difficult than it really is. Success in all areas of your Life is not hard to attain at all-- that is of course, if you know the game and how to play it!

Read this book and change the way you look at yourself and more importantly how you look at every situation. Remember-it's not the situation- it's how you look at the situation that shapes your destiny.

I can not stress enough the positive impact that you will see happen in your life and the people's lives around you when you read this book and apply the principles and affirmations. You will begin to see all your dreams start to come true right before your eyes and you'll find yourself saying, "I can't believe it was that simple..."

I thank K. Orlich for recommending this book to me...and I thank Amazon.com for always having it in stock. Read this simple book--and more importantly--apply what you have learned and you will truly change your life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Keys to a wonderful, winning life you deserve!!!!!!, March 17, 2004
Shinn is an author whose work transcends time and culture. The Game of Life for Women: And How to Play it is necessary read for today's woman. Inherently women read numerous magazines and publications to learn how to become more confident, become successful, meet the person they can love forever, develop higher self-esteem, and much more. Why waste the money month after month when you can own such a wonderful, life-changing book that will empower you from day one. Shinn tells stories of how other women have changed their world for the better through the positive power of Jesus Christ, speaking loving and positive thoughts about themselves, and becoming a cheerful giver. Shinn reminds us that the Kingdom of God is within us and God is the source of all our good, and our supply. There really is not anything a woman cannot have if she puts God first and changes her attitude (which shapes her words). Life is a Game and this book teaches you how to play to win!

5.0 out of 5 stars Unfailing Absolute Truth in the Universal Laws of Life, April 11, 2004
By 
Barbara Rose (BornToInspire.com) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Game of Life (Paperback)
Florence Scovel Shinn brings a true and divine book to humanity in order to rise above all negativity and embrace our true heritage as divine beings.

This wonderful gem of a book covers the law of prosperity, the power of the word, the law of nonresistance, the laws of karma and forgiveness, impressing the subconscious mind, love, intuition and your inner guidance, your divine self expression and denials and affirmations. The beautiful and beneficial teachings quote the words of Jesus Christ many times, explaining their meaning and application in your life. This is an important book to refer back to whenever you are in doubt, as well as if you are trying to figure out how to move forward on your path with the ease, prosperity, and divine purpose you have.

Highly recommended for its unfailing Divine Truth.
