Summary: The Game of Life and How to Play It- Florence Scovel Shinn
Review: A classic book which will never be out of print. The spiritual seeker runs across this title, reads it, hears the bells but the verity in these pages is so stunning and the intellect so overriding that it is easy to dismiss as wishful thinking. Only after much effort and time, perhaps years of spiritual practice, does it all come to us in absolute clarity. Then we go back to THE GAME OF LIFE and nod to Ms. Shinn, with profound gratitude but with no small amount of regret that it took us so many years to grasp these immutable truths.

Summary: This book found me!
Review: A friend found this book in an abandoned apartment and thought I might like it. I turned my nose up at the title and set it aside. A few years later I was going through a very tough time (an understatement!) and happened to notice the book. I read it in an afternoon and it changed my life. I have given this book as a gift many times since and each person I have given it to has loved it and wanted to know where to get a copy. I am thrilled to find it on Amazon.com.
It is a simple book,an easy read and it will knock your socks off! You'll go back to it time and time again!

Summary: The core is truth, but too much jesus
Review: After a very productive clairvoyant reading, I bought this book on impulse (or insight - depending on where you sit on the new age thermometer). I certainly recommend this book as an easy and fairly provocative entry into this type of thinking. I have personally developed and practiced a similar form of wish-manifestation for several years and found it very effective. The book is simply written and encourages the reader to release fear and embrace the complete abundance that is available to you - right now! The only thing that stops our achieving complete fulfillment and abundance is our human 'illusion' of disease, poverty, etc - all products of fear. It's a terrific premise, and it works, however I found the constant references to Jesus and the quoting of the new testament annoying and American-evangelical in flavour. There's also occasional misinterpretation, according to my studies, of the old testament. In fact, it was this traditional religious twist that distracted me from her hypothesis, and since she quotes Jesus several times a page... In conclusion, I would say that I totally concur with her premise from my own experience and readings, however, releasing fear and embracing abundance requires mental training and discipline for a life-time. Consider this book to be a doorway to the abundance and its up to you to turn the handle and enter.

Summary: Around the World
Review: After reading this book I purchased several copies to loan out to friends. I asked that instead of returning them that they pass them on. The books have gone around the world as I have gotten emails from a number of people that read and enjoyed them. I thoroughly enjoyed the book. It was short, to the point, and made a lot of sense. I am a big advocate on the power of words and thoughts and this book gets the message across quite simply. Florence gives an abundance of affirmations that can be used in manifesting change in our lives. Change does not need to be complicated or difficult. Florence gives some simple, practical advice on what to do to create a better life. If I can create change without expending a lot of energy, then that's all the more I energy I have to use for fun. I highly recommend this book.

Summary: I just learned how to LIVE !!!
Review: Although, I have not completely finished reading this book,I have to attest that it is the most inspirational book I have had the pleasure to read. I have been going through some of the most difficult times of my life. I had lost focus and perspective. I have looked to everyone and anything to find the answers to my questions. This book has taught me the power of faith...in myself. That I ultimately have the all the answers I ever need. I simply have to close my eyes and take the utlimate leap....I have the power to make things happen, both good and bad ( although by reading this book you will learn that bad, rather negativity is only a concept of weakness. But I say too much.... READ THE BOOK....IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE !!!!!

Summary: Prepare yourself for a real treasure
Review: Get ready for a dynamic, powerful look at holding that vision (19) and wondrous miracles (37). I created a database on her splendid topics dealing with: courage (24), destiny (9), Kingdom (10), intuition (11), preparation (17), gossip (25), dominion (26), faith (72), demonstration (81) and thinking (31). Florence Scovel Shinn is one of America's most cherished inspirational authors. Born in 1925, she lectured to thousands at the Unity Truth Center and New York's Steinway Hall. She opens her marvelous book with the statement, "Most people consider life a battle, but it is not a battle, it is a game." This beloved book is full of inspirational material and has been treasured by many for years.

Summary: DELIGHTFUL MANUAL FOR HAPPINESS
Review: I am constantly delighted by the elegance and grace with which the early and mid-20th century metaphysicians conveyed the eternal truths. People like Ralph Waldo Trine, Katherine Ponder, Raymond Charles Barker, Joseph Murphy and Frederick Bailes are still the best choice to read if you are serious about improving your life. And judging by this wonderful little book., Florence Scovel-Shinn takes pride of place amongst them. With a great economy of words, she makes her point and in simple language explains the benefits of right thinking and how to solve problems. The text is strewn with jewels in the form of uplifting statements and memorable affirmations. Amongst other topics, the laws of prosperity, nonresistance, karma and forgiveness are presented in a fresh way, with clear instructions on how to impress the subconscious. She covers everything that is really important in a book that one can read in a day. Of course, I recommend regular reading of this wonderful manual for living a life of joy.

Summary: read this book and have everything you want
Review: 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.
