I have been reading this book since I first found it in my mother’s Good Room library at 11 years of age – it has brought me comfort, insight and hope. This is a small book for your bag, to be carried around with you as a best friend – turn to it with your questions, or if you mind needs to be settled. Some thoughts about sickness and children (in particular) need to be taken with a pinch of salt. This is a fascinating collection of metaphysis. She shares real-life stories that highlight how positive attitudes and affirmations can help win at life, and bring control to life’s board game through the knowledge of spiritual law.Įditor’s note: No doubt if she were alive today she would be a regular on the Oprah Winfrey Show with millions of fans on social media. The affirmations she offers in her work 'Your Word is Your Wand' can be carried with you throughout the day to bring Gods plan into action and settle your heart. Life is a game and in order to play it well, she maintained we need to strive to understand the universal laws that govern it. Florence Scovel Shinn 1871 - 1940: The wisdom of Florence Scovel Shinn is as applicable today as when it was written. She specialised in the power of thought, ego, and how attaching feelings to a wish can negate it. Her work is infused with Biblical quotes and anecdotal explanations of the author’s understanding of God and woman.Īn artist with a qualification in Fine Art from the Pennsylvania Academy, 1889 to 1897, she self-published her work in popular metaphysics and worked as a teacher in New York. Most of the leading lights, published by Hay House, have read and reread this very book again and again. Scovel Shinn has inspired generations of new-age thinkers and helped usher in a world of positive thought, the power of the word, spirit and pop-psychology.
