More Powerful than we may realize

Our words are much more powerful than we may at times realize. Ms. 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. I feel 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. Her work is truly classic, and timess wisdom. One of my all time favorite authors because of the positive impact her work has had in my life, and I have always loved reading her books. This one is essential!

If we are what we eat, what about what we say?

My mother always told me that I am what I eat. The same is true for this book. Although there may be a strong religious tone for some, this book speaks to what we speak every day. If we only see the bad side and drawback to something, that is what we get. I think think the religious metaphors are more for example than for preaching. There is definitelty a mind body connection. This book helps you manage that connection and a daily basis.

This book changed my life

I was led to this book after I had suffered a panic attack brought on from stress and worry. I have always been a believer in God however after reading this book my faith has been renewed to a new level and it has changed my life. I am no longer stressed, worried and I now look at every situation that happens in my life in a diffferent way. I would recommend this book to everyone! I have already purchased over 10 copies and given them to friends and family. I have not had a negative comment about this book yet they all loved it as much as I.
