Laurie Beth Jones proves you dont have to be a mystic to possess visionary powers. The capacity to offer and receive prophecy exists in all of us, right now. Prophecy can come from anywhere. Even when couched in negative terms, prophecy can have a provocative and healing effect, spurring us on to accomplish things out of determination to prove others wrong. Showing us the force inherent in our words, Jones reveals that merely by naming something, we can call it forth. Anyone can access this power, but she encourages readers to use prophecy responsibly.
A book that compels you to watch your words...not only in your relationship with others, but in creating your future. I quote Ms. Jones in the communications and business writing classes I teach.
She talks about naming your child; and calling your child empowering words, while not spoiling him/her.
In a business setting, she encouraged readers to speak positively about your prospects and success. She also spoke about names that get overlooked on resumes.
The book did have some silly things....like someone with the last name Bump kept getting "bumped" off airline flights. Okay, so people with other names don't get bumped off flights?
