The Game of Life and How to Play It

Practical application and inspiring content. I highly recommend this book! Easy to read, simple, and magnetizimg, calling us to connect directly with God and create and receive willingly and openly our highest good and follow Divine will.

I was skeptical, I admit. Self help published in 1925? Could be quaintly amusing, but useful?Well, wisdom is eternal, so as long as the vehicle is well-crafted, the message will always be appreciated. And Florence Scovel Shinn writes briskly and to the point, interspersing clear explanations with an inexhaustible supply of illustrations that ensure you really get what she's saying. Clearly she had experience with simple people, distracted people, and children. Repeat it, often and with gusto. But she never bores you.Two things I've noticed about universal wisdom: First, it will never contradict another piece of universal wisdom you've already internalized, and second, you'll feel its truth as you experience it, as you read, see, feel, hear, smell, taste, perceive it. Every time I open this book, whatever page I'm on will have a message that's relevant to me in that moment, something that reminds me how to deal with an issue I'm struggling with, and it's always appreciated. That's the mark of a keeper, and Florence nailed it. If you only read this book once, or you can't make it through, you're not ready for it; but hang on to it, because when you are, you'll be eternally grateful to have it.

It’s a good read to embrace faith of life and appreciation. The number of examples is too many besides this it strengthens the SELF.

My mother gave me a hardbound copy of this book many years ago, and I have treasured it ever since. Florence Scovel Shinn truly understood how life works according to spiritual principles found in the Bible, and she offers a very easy-to-read book with excellent real-life examples of how to put those principles into practice to receive the things you hope for, whether they be love, money to pay your bills, or just a parking space. Many people aren't aware that the Bible is meant to be a handbook that shows you how to succeed in life using the principles God provided for your success. Shinn does not spend much time discussing the Bible in this book, she just refers the reader to the appropriate passages to show where she got the principle, but if you make these part of your everyday thinking, you'll find that life does work the way God says it does, and His principles will work for you too. This simple little book with short chapters will show you how to win in life if you'll apply the principles. They have worked for me, and they will for you too. They're for everyone who takes the time to learn and use them.

This woman was amazing. She had such spiritual clarity, strength of character, self motivation, for a woman of her time. Such an inspiration with such inspirational spiritual/energetic information and ablility and love of sharing. The male reader is lovely. Though I prefer a woman's voice reading the words of a woman. I will say I've heard this book read by a woman on Youtube several times, and yet while listening to this man read the book in my car CD player, I will sometimes "Hear" things I did not "hear" before. Highly recommend Florence Scoval Shinn to the world!!!!!!!!!

I absolutely love this book. I love how a center and a spirituality but mostly and God and Jesus it is a beautiful book your references passages from the Christian Bible.

I have been practicing conscious manifestation for 35 years, and this 100 year old book is a gem of the genre! Thank you for republishing it in e-book format!

Great
