Life is not a battle to be won by force — it is a game to be played by law.
First published in 1925, Florence Scovel Shinn's The Game of Life and How to Play It has quietly shaped a century of writing on prosperity, faith, and the mind. In plain language and unforgettable stories — the woman with eight dollars and a hunch, the man and his fur-lined overcoat, the umbrella-mender who appears exactly when he is needed — Shinn lays out the rules of a winnable game: the law of giving and receiving, the power of the spoken word, nonresistance, forgiveness, casting the burden, love, and intuition.
This modernized English edition refreshes Shinn's century-old prose into clear, contemporary language — while preserving every anecdote, every affirmation in its canonical form, and every scriptural touchstone exactly as she used them. Nothing is abridged or softened. It is her book, carried across the century intact, and made to read as though she were teaching in a room this year.
This edition includes:
Whether you are meeting Shinn for the first time or returning to a book you already love, this edition is a pocket manual to reach for whenever fear has the upper hand — a reminder that the word is a tool, that the burden can be set down, and that the game, once you know the rules, is on your side.
