Description ACRES OF DIAMOND In “Acres of Diamonds,” Russell Conwell shows success is a spiritual idea–the result of spiritual principles. Though not a “get rich guide,” Conwell’s book shows how to find a fortune-if you know where to look. There are as many opportunities for success today as in Conwell’s time, if not more so, because they are found first and foremost in one’s own conscience. Through his ministry and philosophy that “all good things are possible,” Conwell opened the doors of opportunity for untold millions. “Acres of Diamonds” echoes his core belief-that each of us is placed here on earth for the primary purpose of helping others. Conwell was a minister, the founder of Temple University, and two hospitals where no one was ever turned away for lack of money. He was also a famous lecturer. In his lecture, the story is told of a man who sells his farm to travel far and wide in search of diamonds. There is a moral to the story in “Acres of Diamonds,” a story which Conwell presented as a lecture more than 6,000 and to untold numbers of people. AS A MAN THINKETH Eminently quotable and full of practical advice for individuals who want to better themselves, As a Man Thinketh is an essential little volume published in 1902 which explains and promotes the direct connection between our thoughts and our happiness. Do you believe in the power of positive thinking — yet remain unclear as to how that power can be harnessed in your life? James Allen’s As a Man Thinketh explains and promotes the direct connection between what we think and the direction our lives take. Part of the New Thought Movement, Allen reveals the secrets to having the most fulfilling existence possible, and it’s easier than any of us could have imagined. You, too, can learn how to master the output of your brain in order to obtain the personal success of which you have always — until now — merely dreamed.
