Florence Scovel Shinn (September 24, 1871, Camden, New Jersey - October 17, 1940) was an American artist and book illustrator who became a New Thought spiritual teacher and metaphysical writer in her middle years. In New Thought circles, she is best known for her first book, The Game of Life and How to Play It (1925). Shinn expressed her philosophy as: The invisible forces are ever working for man who is always 'pulling the strings' himself, though he does not know it. Owing to the vibratory power of words, whatever man voices, he begins to attract. -The Game of Life, Florence Scovel Shinn

The Power of the Spoken Word, by Florence Scovel Shinn, is short, simple, and to the point. The affirmations Shinn gives in this book do bring a sense of peace and instill faith. In this book, she writes of vibrations, karma, of emotions being the reason of disease, of being in the NOW...and much more. "You cannot always control your thoughts. But you can control your words. And eventually the word impresses the subconsciousness," wrote Shinn. And she was right: our words are much more powerful than we may at times realize. Shinn's book brings greater awareness about the power behind our words, what we speak and how we attract more of that into our life. She was the true pioneer of "laws of attraction" in our modern times. It is important to remember that words can heal or destroy. When we become more consciously aware of what comes out of our mouth, we can then choose carefully the words we speak, as they do have a rippling effect, either positive or negative. This book helps everyone learn more about the effect of our spoken words, and this brings about a greater awareness that can only help people. The Power of the Spoken Word is truly classic and timeless wisdom that has positively impacted the lives of many

A typical Scovel Shinn piece of advice would be "It is safe to say that all sickness and unhappiness come from the violation of the law of love. A new commandment I give unto you, 'Love one another, ' and in the Game of Life, love or good-will takes every trick." Cover photography by Paul Spremulli.

"People all want to know how to open the secret door of success. For each man there is success, but it seems to be behind a door or wall. In the Bible reading, we have heard the wonderful story of the falling of the walls of Jericho. Of course all biblical stories have a metaphysical interpretation. We will talk now about your wall of Jericho: the wall separating you from success." FSS

Florence Scovel Shinn (September 24, 1871, Camden, New Jersey - October 17, 1940) was an American artist and book illustrator who became a New Thought spiritual teacher and metaphysical writer in her middle years. Her metaphysical works began with her self-published The Game of Life and How to Play it in 1925. Your Word is Your Wand was published in 1928 and The Secret Door to Success in 1940.[4] The Game of Life and How to Play it includes quotes from the Bible and anecdotal explanations of the author's understanding of God and man. Her philosophy centers on the power of positive thought and usually includes instructions for verbal or physical affirmation. A typical Scovel Shinn piece of advice would be "It is safe to say that all sickness and unhappiness come from the violation of the law of love. A new commandment I give unto you, 'Love one another, ' and in the Game of Life, love or good-will takes every trick." Her advice is usually accompanied by a "real life" anecdote, as for the above "Love one another" advice: A woman I know, had, for years an appearance of a terrible skin disease. The doctors told her it was incurable, and she was in despair. She was on the stage, and she feared she would soon have to give up her profession, and she had no other means of support. She, however, procured a good engagement, and on the opening night, made a great "hit." She received flattering notices from the critics, and was joyful and elated. The next day she received a notice of dismissal. A man in the cast had been jealous of her success and had caused her to be sent away. She felt hatred and resentment taking complete possession of her, and she cried out, "Oh God don't let me hate that man." That night she worked for hours "in the silence." She said, "I soon came into a very deep silence. I seemed to be at peace with myself, with the man, and with the whole world. I continued this for two following nights, and on the third day I found I was healed completely of the skin disease!" In asking for love, or good will, she had fulfilled the law, ("for love is the fulfilling of the law") and the disease (which came from subconscious resentment) was wiped out.."
