Publisher's Synopsis
The Game of Life and How to Play it, by Florence Scovel Shinn, Your Invisible Power and How to Live Life and Love it, By Genevieve Behrend ( 3 Books) BOOK ONE The Game of Life and How to Play it Some of the Spiritual ideas Shinn explains in the book: The Law of Expectancy: Shinn emphasises the power of the imagination to bring about life events: "Whatever man feels deeply or images clearly, is impressed upon the subconscious mind, and carried out in minutest detail." The power of words: "Jesus Christ taught that man's words played a leading part in the game of life. 'By your words ye are justified and by your words ye are condemned'." (Matthew 12:37) The Divine Pattern and Intuition: Shinn says that one must always ask for the "right" circumstance, or the "Divine selection," and not to ask for specifics. BOOK TWO: Your Invisible Power, THESE pages have been written for the purpose of furnishing you a key to the attainment of your desires, and to explain that Fear should be entirely banished from your consciousness in order for you to obtain possession of the things you want. This presupposes, of course, that your desire for possession is based upon your aspiration for greater happiness. For example, you feel that the possession of more money, lands, or friends will make you happier, and your desire for possession of these things arises from a conviction that their possession will bring you freedom and contentment. In your effort to possess, you will discover that the thing you most need is to consistently "Be" your best self. BOOK THREE: How to Live Life and Love it, The purpose of this series of personal-pointer Lessons, which are herein compiled into one volume, is to indicate in a clear, concise way "the natural principles governing the relation between the creative action of all thought-power and material things," i.e., circumstances and conditions. If these few simple principles are carefully studied, and mastered to your satisfaction, and then put into practical, hourly application, the student will find very soon that it is possible for man to make conscious contact with the Almighty, Ever-Present, Never-Failing God; and this just naturally means individual FREEDOM, freedom from every form of limitation and bondage of any nature. (Read Mark 9:23.) Then try to believe that the Spirit of Life, which is your life also, knows "How to Live Life and Love It." All the joy Life has to give is yours right now! Let us start on the highway to unqualified success now. God is our guide. Your loving companion, -- Genevieve Behrend
