A voice from the past

So FSS lived in the late 1800s, early 1900s. Having read this book, I feel like she was extremely forward thinking in her religious and spiritual views, which makes her a new hero of mine. She was definitely seeking answers with the tools she had available to her, and wasn't afraid to speak about the truths she was finding. But the old fashioned tone of the book, along with countless references to Christianity and the Bible, may rub many of other religions or belief sets the wrong way. Conversely, those who have a Christian mindset may find that her beliefs are too far off the beaten path. If you are just looking for truth in whatever form you can find it, however, and don't mind a voice that is a bit dated, I think it's a wonderful source or information on manifesting, believing in the power of the universe, and utilizing affirmations. I find myself going back to it for new affirmations to speak over my life frequently.
