Florence Scovel Shinn’s Your Word Is Your Wand is a quaint yet interesting book to read if you are one of the millions of people who are interested in the Law of Attraction.Her style is a bit dated and is although it is written in a language more familiar with the contemporaries of the later 19th and earlier 20th centuries much of what she parlays is timeless.
I was able to finish this book in almost record time.This book was an easy read from beginning to end and was quite thought provoking when looking behind the affirmations that were offered by the author.
Frankly, I had a bit of trouble with the organization of the book as it seemed to meander from subject to subject – sometimes the subjects were related and other times they weren’t.This was more of a distraction than an actual impaired message.The layout from the publisher was most likely the biggest drawback.The book was printed in block style and quite often there were spelling and editorial mistakes and breaks in paragraphs, etc.If you could get past this you are the better for it.
Blemishes aside, if you are interested in positive life affirmations though this book is one of the classics and is a must for your personal library.

Roget’s Descriptive Word Finder-A Dictionary/Thesaurus of Adjectives by Barbara Ann Kipfer Ph.D.
I am quite sure that almost anyone, who has ever taken an English course in high school or college, had to purchase at least one copy of Roget’s Thesaurus. I never knew, until recently, the derivation of the term “thesaurus.” Apparently the term had been derived from the post-medieval version of Latin, and it basically means treasure or a storehouse. We immediately associate the term thesaurus with Roget, whose full name was Peter Mark Roget. This brilliant individual was a medical doctor,...
