I have just read this book for the second time after many years.

Florence Scovel Shin is one of the great, famous prosperity teachers, and I can’t give her less than five stars.

This book was published after Florence’s death on the basis of “a collection of notes and memoranda”.

The message of the book is unchanged, of course, but I admit, though I much admire the author, it does now seem extremely dated/old-fashioned and not that easy to read. Still, it is absolutely inspiring, thus the five stars.

There is much repetition, religious terminology and many biblical quotes, so it will not be to everyone’s taste.

Jesus Christ said, “When ye pray, believe ye have it”.

Intuition is Divine Guidance. It is the God within. God is Love but God is Law. (I’m not sure that I know what is meant by “God is law”.)

We need to be a good receiver. Prepare for our blessing, rejoice and give thanks and it will come to pass.

We contact the God-power in all things by the word. “Life and death are in the power of the tongue.” This God-power is in “the realm of miracles and wonders”. As soon as we ask, Infinite Intelligence knows what to do. Our part is to rejoice and give thanks. (I realize I’m repeating myself too.)

The author tells us that fear is our only adversary. It robs us of all power, for we have lost contact with “the Universal Power House”.

The mission of Jesus Christ was to wake people up. “Awake thou that sleepeth”.

“Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all right things shall be added unto you.”

Leave the plan of your life to the Divine Planner and you will find all conditions permanently perfect.

We are given various inspiring stories about some of the author’s clients who transformed their lives by following her advice.

We are advised not to follow “the reasoning mind” but rather our intuition. We need to follow our leads and hunches.

Owing to the vibratory power of words, what you voice, you begin to attract. People who continually speak of disease, invariably attract disease.

“A word is spoken and a chemical change takes place in the body.”

We must watch our thoughts and our words.

All life is vibration. If we feel rich, we will attract riches.

These things are not new, but Florence Scovel Shin was one of the first to write about them.

If we are in a negative state of mind we should repeat the statement “I look with wonder at that which is before me!”

I once followed Florence’s advice and repeated these words while looking at a scratch card I’d just bought where one could win money if one was lucky. I had previously looked at it and found nothing, but now I saw that I had actually won 1000 kroner!

We need to cultivate the feeling that “miracles and wonders are coming to pass”.

Only our doubts, fears and resentments keep our good from us. We must remain undisturbed by injustice and send good-will to all concerned.

All that we desire or require is already on our pathway.

We must not be anxious since an “invincible, invisible” power is at man’s command to supply every need. But we need to believe in it.

We need to visualize what we want, then it will come. She gives us the example of a great football player who trained in a hammock, visualizing.

We must expect our good to come to pass. “We are the receivers, God is the Giver, and He must create His own channels.”

Prayer is telephoning to God, and intuition is God telephoning to you.

This book is a summary of the teachings of Florence Scovel Shin, and if you have not yet read it or her other books, I highly recommend that you do.

Excellent & Effective! ( )
