A Gem!

First of all, Cary Valentine is phenomenal as a narrator!

Secondly, I have listened to this book on repeat, and find a new nugget of wisdom each time. Schin uses the bible in more of a mystical and occult form, which makes any apprehension about the use of religious text just disappear. Her interpretations, explanations, stories, and affirmations are appealing, entertaining, and so simple to apply.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone.

Wow!

Probably the best book I have ever read, or that actually exists to date on divine law, consciousness and its connection to the Bible and thoughts. Don’t let the idea of the Bible deter you from listening to this book. This has nothing to do with religion in anyway shape or form.

This is not the full book!

I read the book and wanted it to sink deeper by also listening. I tried to follow along in the book at one point to highlight impirtant parts, and realized that much of it was mising in this reading! woth another search, I see an option that is an hour longer.

Biblical version of The Secret

It was a real struggle to get through. Not relatable, nonsensical, and very clearly fabricated stories to illustrate it’s rambling points.
