Editorial Reviews

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.

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.

Format:Paperback
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!

Format:Paperback
I came acroos this book by accident, I bought it with several others and it stayed on by bookshelf for a long time, a time in which I was miserable and just didn't see any way out. Then one day I ran across it, I began reading it in bed, figuring I would be through it that night since it was less than 100 pages. Boy was I wrong. I began repeating the passages and it was like a burden was lifted off of my shoulders, I cried like I was finally free of all of the negative things in my life and that I was finaly going to get everything I wanted, even if it was not mine by devine right. This book will enlighten you and show you that everything that you want may just make you miserable and you'll regret it if you don't ask for things that really belong to you. How did this book change my life? After being single for a long time and dating all the wrong men, I met the man who was mine by divine right. I studied this book nightly before we met, I was even dating a Doctor and then I met my husband and knew that he was the one. And the wierd part was he had just moved from Cocoa Beach Florida, and I lived near Chicago, and we met in the middle of winter. He told me he quit his job and moved up here because he knew there was a reason. The reason was to find me. So when I concentrate and know that I can have it all, it comes true with amazing accuracy. It's true, life is a game and you need this "game manual" to show you how it's played.
