Rating: Summary: Powerful but with a warning Review: 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! ...

Rating: Summary: A very enlightening and inspirational work of literature. Review: 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!
Rating: Summary: The Wisdom of Florence Scouvel Shinn..."Is one to grow on" Review: I discovered Florence in 1994 and her wisdon has changed my life forever. There has not been a day since 1994 that I did not rely on Florence's teachings to guide me through my daily living. Her spiritual insight provides such clarity. The Wisdon of Florence Scovel Shinn has become my every occasion gift; Birthdays, Christmas, Graduations etc. If I had a wish it be that she had written more books and that I would have had an opportunity to meet her. "I have been touched by a Angel"
Rating: Summary: My favourite author Review: I discovered this author many years ago. I was going though a difficurlt time. Her books helped me in more ways than I can describe. She has such a positive non-fearful aproach to God and life without being a religious fanatic. To this day if I feel down I can pick up one of her books and it changes my day. Unfortunatly it looks like I have them all. I wish she wrote more. I would love to know more about her. She must have been a wonderful person for her books to exude such happiness. I can highly recommend her books. I think that Louise Hay may have based some of her teachings on these books.

Rating: Summary: I have used this book for 10 years as a reminder of life! Review: I have shared this book with many friends and others who are searching for spiritual writings. I have referenced this book during teaching sessions with teenage girls and during discussions with mature males and females. I used it as a reference, along with the Bible, at a 3 day "ladies"retreat. I re-read this book regularly. It is amazing that Florence Scovel Shinn wrote these books so long ago. It is a source of true spiritualism.
Rating: Summary: Excellent instructions for using your mind to its fullest Review: I loved this book, the wisdom contained within it is practical and inspiring. I plan to put this book on my re-read list and pick it up on a weekly basis. I look forward to reading Ms. Scovel-Shinn's other titles. I highly recommend this book if you are looking to utilize your mind to its fullest capacity.
Rating: Summary: A Fantastic Voyage Review: I stumbled upon this book by what I thought was an accident, but I now know that it was divine timing. I saw this book in a local bookstore and gave it to one of my friends for Christmas in 1994. Another friend saw it and bought it the very next day and I had to go back and purchase it for myself. Since that time, I've bought and given this book away no less than fifteen times and it seems that its just at the right time for the individual. This book has been a great beginning for many of us in search of a special relationship with God. I continue to feel blessed each time I can share it with someone who is in search. I plan on buying it this Christmas for a couple of friends who are at the crossroad trying to jump to the other side. I'm ready to read again and jump too! Florence wasn't before her time, she was right on time!
