The Power of the Spoken Word
Florence Scovel Shinn · 1871–1940
A posthumous gathering of Shinn's lessons and affirmations, assembled from her notes after her death in 1940. It repeats her central themes with the brevity of a teacher's notebook, which makes it a good text for a single discussion evening.
