Great Book and Content

I really loved the book and felt that the narrator was ideal for an inner work focused book.

Good content but...

Good content about how universal energy works. It uses bible references constantly, possibly more than can be reframed.
This book is written in the 1920's but the person talks about not wanting to change the male/female pronouns to something more neutral!? And there are "quotes" by Oprah Winfrey? Pretty sure the woman who wrote this is no longer living. It seems if you are going to narrate or republish something, you shouldn't change it, it's not your work to change!? And if I purchase something written in the 20's its probably because I'm looking for something traditional and NOT progressive bs with made-up pronouns that have us all scratching our heads.
So, its good content, mostly authentic, and references the bible frequently.

Will Give The Courage To Be

Appreciating the spiritual identity of Ms. Scovel as well as the universal principles, she helped me to realize “The Courage To Be” all that I’ve been blessed to go through wasn’t to be in my present circumstances, but in fact “To Be” all I was created for, joy, love, peace, friendship, Abundance, wealth, and success in dreams coming true from my creator(Jesus). I’m going to listen again and can’t wait with anticipated excitement for the results. This Book Is Timeless

Enjoy Immensely

Excellent source for positive encouragement and focus. Helps to keep oneself on task along with a bible study. Follows along with a great majority of the book of Proverbs. Highly recommend.

Great book

This book is interesting and gives you a new way of looking at life and living it without fear.

Best ever... old age new age wisdom

Packed with wisdom. Space for action. Allowance for divine success with perfect measure. May all who listen be blessed infinitely with love, good health and wonderful wealth. Thanks be to the infinite who resides in all.

My New Life Handbooks

This book was such a wonderful and eye opening experience. I have shared it with several of my friends with the hopes they find as much manna inside as I did. I listen to it on a daily basis, chapter by chapter. I find new gems and discoveries with each listen. I am so glad this book was sent to me.

partner this with your BIBLE

people please read and retrain your thought process but couple it with the word of God . the bible is the true companion for this book

insightful, for the pondering mind.

the concepts in the book are timeless and primarily based on biblical understanding, but it had been narrated into modern everyday idiomatic applications
