From the rear cover:
Here in one volume are the four collected works of one of America's most beloved and bestselling
inspirational authors.
In her classic bestseller The Game of Life, Florence Scovel Shinn reveals the timeless
message that has helped thousands to solve their problems. You can create anything you want
simply by aligning your thoughts and words with the perfect good that resides divinely within
you. Combined with the powerful affirmations found in Your Word is your Wand and the
stirring examples of real-life successes in the other two volumes, The Wisdom of Florence
Scovel Shinn provides a complete guide for learning how to turn defeat into victory, lack
into prosperity, fear into faith and resentment into love.
"The Game of Life is filled with wisdom and creative insights. That its teachings will work
I know to be fact, for I have long used them myself."
~ Dr Norman Vincent Peale
