The Power of the Spoken Word (Annotated)
Enriched Edition. Be Strong and Fear NotBy Florence Scovel Shinn
Length2h 49m
About this audiobook
In The Power of the Spoken Word, Florence Scovel Shinn presents a concise yet resonant exposition of New Thought spirituality, arguing that speech is not merely descriptive but creative: words shape expectation, conduct, and circumstance. Drawing on biblical language, practical anecdotes, and the rhetoric of affirmation, the book blends devotional reflection with metaphysical instruction. Its style is direct, aphoristic, and sermon-like, situated within the early twentieth-century American tradition of mind-cure writing, where faith, imagination, and disciplined speech become instruments of transformation. Shinn, an artist, illustrator, and spiritual teacher based in New York, brought to her writing the clarity of a public lecturer and the vividness of a visual thinker. Her earlier works, including The Game of Life and How to Play It, established her reputation as an interpreter of prosperity consciousness and practical Christianity. Her emphasis on spoken affirmation reflects both her religious convictions and her experience guiding students through fear, indecision, and self-limiting belief. This book is recommended for readers interested in the genealogy of self-help literature, affirmation practice, and New Thought metaphysics. Though brief, it offers a historically significant and spiritually earnest account of language as a moral and creative force.
