5.0 out of 5 stars This Book will change your Life!, August 4, 1999
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 Unfailing Absolute Truth in the Universal Laws of Life, April 11, 2004
By Barbara Rose (BornToInspire.com) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (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.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Game of Life and How To Play It, January 16, 2000
By Patti Ahrens (Washington State) - See all my reviews
This book was given to my family as a gift eighteen years ago. I have personally given it as a gift more times than I can count over the years. I now work as a Psychic Counselor and talk to people over the world. I recommend this book to all of my clients. The thank-you's that each bring back to me when people read this book tells me that more people are working to make this world a brighter place. The wholesomeness of looking at the world through Florence Scovill Shinn's eyes mirrors a wonderful world of positiveness that we all should follow. In my daily life she has been a constant reminder that what we say think and do, reflects in every area of our life. I had hoped someday to tell more people about this book thanks to amazon I can. My suggestion is read and re-read Florences' book you will learn something new about yourself every time you do. Thank-you to the publishers who continue printing her book and Amazon continues the sales
