Your Word Is Your Wand: A New Thought Book - Hardcover

by Florence Scovel Shinn (Author)

Your Word Is Your Wand presents Florence Scovel Shinn's concise statement of New Thought principles, emphasizing the formative power of speech and belief.

In this brief yet influential work, Shinn advances her central conviction: that spoken words, grounded in faith and conviction, shape outward experience. Drawing upon Biblical imagery and metaphysical interpretation, she argues that affirmation is not mere repetition but alignment with spiritual law. To "speak the word" is, in her formulation, to cooperate consciously with divine order.

Written during the early twentieth-century flowering of the New Thought movement, the book distills Shinn's teaching into compact chapters that stress confidence, expectancy, and disciplined thought. Its clarity and brevity have made it one of her most frequently circulated texts, alongside The Game of Life and How to Play It. Read within its historical context, the work illustrates the development of prosperity philosophy and the reinterpretation of Christian language within modern metaphysical thought.
