Wonderful book!

This is a wonderful book and worth every minute of reading. You will get a better understanding of how scriptures relate to our real daily lives and how you can understand and change your circumstances.

Required Reading for Serenity

How do I stop being motivated by fear and live in faith. FSS has the answers.

Wonderful book

I read this many years ago and loved it. At the time, I didn't know anything about Science of Mind - now I understand what she's talking about when she says "treatment," but even without that knowledge the book is still uplifting. I suggest anyone find a short book about Science of Mind (Ernest Holmes) to read before reading this, or to go along with it, but above all, anyone interested in spiritual development needs to read this.

Powerful but with a warning

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! ...

A Fantastic Voyage

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!

I have used this book for 10 years as a reminder of life!

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.

A very enlightening and inspirational work of literature.

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!
