Better to buy the paperback

Any additional comments?

Hard to concentrate on what the book is about ...the narrator's voice is high pitched and a fast reader, it's as if she's just trying to finish reading the book and get it over with.

Life Changing

I have read several spiritual books including books that talk about the law of attraction and other methods of manifestation. This is however the most wonderful of them all. I found that after applying her words in my daily life, everything was given to my as by magic and in wonderful ways. I just started a new chapter in my life and it only gets better... This was the missing part in all my research... This is it. Read it. I've heard it in audible 4 times by now, every time I drive I let her wisdom get to me and just WOW! I have already manifested a wonderful trip, money, clothes and mostly miracles.

Not just for Jesus

The narrator almost sounds like a robot programmed to read, and that may be true. The book also talks about God and quotes scripture a lot, if you cant get past that, skip this. However, as someone who usually can't get past it, I tried it anyway as it was recommended by "law of attraction" type leaders. If you can mentally replace the word god with what ever you chose, energy, universe, etc...the scripture quoted actually does line right up with the law of attraction principles and kind of blows your mind. I almost returned it due to the narrator and biblical vibe out the door, but, I ended up listening to it all the way through and when Im struggling with the unknown future, I have pressed go on this one again and found it helpful.

Great book!!

I really enjoyed this book. I appreciate the fact that it is also practical in its application of Law of Attraction. The narrator was really good too.

Great book!

This is not the first time I have read this book. I have studied these principles for many years, and studied this book in particular. so I got the audio book as a refresher! The principles still hit hard and sure. I thought the narrator read a little too fast, but I still enjoyed reviewing this important material.
