In the same vein as Ernest Holmes, Mary Baker Eddy, R.W. Emerson, William James and others, Florence Scovel. Shinn offers sage and practical advice on a wide range of topics common to all people. She is especially astute when it comes to prescribing ways of nurturing relationships. Her work has a Christian emphasis, invoking the words of Christ to make a point. Yet she tempers the religiosity with very real daily challenges that rely on universal qualities of compassion, love and understanding. She offers some good advice on money matters: how to gain wealth and hold on to it. Well-written by one whose soul and love shine throughout.
