Editorial Reviews

Review

Emmet Fox on Florence Scovel Shinn One secret of her success was that she was always herself...colloquial, informal, friendly, and humorous. She herself was very spiritual...and taught by familiar, practical, and everyday examples.

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.

I 'chanced' upon this book as well, and those of you that have experienced periods of unparalleled synchronicity will understand the inadequacy of the word 'chanced'.

Anyway, my warning is this: The book is highly focused on Biblical teachings and scripture, but don't let that get in the way. I was raised Christian and then moved away from it because most 'Christians' don't seem to be too Christ-like these days. I let the language get in the way, and it wasn't until I got to the `end of my rope' and `gave in' that it worked.

One night before going to bed, I just thought to myself, you know, "I DON'T have all the answers and the way I'm going about things isn't working. What IF this is the way it works??!!" I put out my `request' and suspended my disbelief enough to accept that maybe it could work, and that is EXACTLY when it happened. Within 3 days, I was having a flood of insights and synchronicities that I have yet to experience again. My life changed overnight and I experienced a full blow spiritual awakening. The key is really believing that it will work. That concept is written about in many places, so this book is by no means unique in that sense. But, your belief that it will happen is the important part. Good luck! ...

The books (4 books comprising this one) are utterly delightful. Even though I knew the universal principles and was using them for many years before I stumbled upon this book, every once in a while I'd forget to apply them. This book came to me at a time in my life when I was facing a number of challenges. After 2 - 3 days with the help of this wonderful book, all the problems dissolved, my faith was renewed and the miracles began to happen all around me, and maybe even more importantly - inside of me. This book helped me get back on the "right track", to the path of wonders and miracles. My deepest gratitude goes to Ms. Florence Scovel Shinn for I felt her loving hands stretching through the words in this book and pulling me (and my life) out of a ditch.

I constantly re-read this book and definitely find the time to pick it up in times of temporary despair. She explains how to re-form our thought patterns and words we speak in order to attract everlasting supply, love, wealth and perfect self-expression. I have bought it for friends and will continue to do so. With this book, I have seen immediate changes take place in my life on every level. With her affirmations for things such as guidance, love, letting go of resentment, success and her teachings to impress the sub-concious to attract the abundant supply that is obtainable for all, this book is more than words can say. I am more in touch with my intutition which always leads me on a path of gold. This book is truly worth having!
