When I first started my spiritual journey, there were a few books that I read that had a huge impact on my life and what I believed to be true about the world. One of those books was The Game of Life and How to Play It by Florence Scovel Shinn. Ms. Scovel Shinn was an incredible metaphysical teacher and was teaching the principles made so popular by The Law of Attraction or The Secret, decades before either of these popular books were published.
Timeless Wisdom
What struck me about the book was the feeling of knowing and truth that I experienced when reading it. It was if I was remembering some important wisdom that I once knew in my soul, but that no-one had ever taught or shown me before. The book was written in 1925 and yet, the principles are still relevant and enlightening even today. I loved the wisdom shared The Game of Life so much that I was inspired to buy The Wisdom of Florence Scovel Shinn: 4 Complete Works, which is 4 books that Ms. Shinn wrote throughout her career as a New Thought leader and metaphysical teacher and healer. What I love most about her books is that she provides a basic teaching along with references to ancient scriptures, as well as, real world examples that she encountered when working with individuals as a metaphysical healer and teacher. The books are an easy read, but contain powerful, life changing concepts that you will want to read over and over. Two decades after purchasing the collection, my copy is worn and dog-eared, and is a staple in my spiritual library.
The collection includes:
- The Game of Life
- The Power of the Spoken Word
- Your Word Is Your Wand
- and, The Secret of Success
