Florence Scovel Shinn was a New Thought teacher, not a Christian theologian; her use of biblical language and Scripture quotations is consistently reframed through a metaphysical, law-of-attraction framework that is incompatible with historic Christian orthodoxy. This book is best understood as a foundational text of the New Thought movement and a precursor to the modern prosperity gospel, not as Christian literature.
