Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
The Science of Greatness
Kimberly Fitten · 2017
62/100
👎 Skip It
Fitten's heart is in the right place and the interactive workbook format is a genuine strength for readers who need structured exercises to move from reading to action. But the blending of biblical principles with 'universal laws of manifestation' language sits in a theologically ambiguous space that will make discerning Christian readers uneasy, and the independent publication means quality and accountability are harder to verify. Younger adults already in Fitten's ministry orbit may get value from it, but it's hard to recommend broadly.
✦ Penny’s Take — this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below. It’s an honest first-party read — not a page-by-page personal one. The gold ✓ Penny Tested mark is reserved for books Penny reads cover to cover herself.
⚠ Parent note — our reviewers flagged: Blends Christian/biblical principles with 'universal laws of manifestation' language adjacent to New Thought/prosperity-gospel tradition; theologically discerning readers should evaluate carefully. We still scored it 62; these are context for your family, not an automatic skip.
