Description
This edition contains three great books by Russell Conwell, including his incredible lecture "Acres of Diamonds; together with his books Health, Healing and Faith; and Praying for Money.
It has been annotated with an article on the New Thought Movement, to provide accurate historical context to Conwell's writings.
About Acres of Diamonds, he explains:
"This lecture has been delivered under these circumstances: I visit a town or city, and try to arrive there early enough to see the postmaster, the barber, the keeper of the hotel, the principal of the schools, and the ministers of some of the churches, and then go into some of the factories and stores, and talk with the people, and get into sympathy with the local conditions of that town or city and see what has been their history, what opportunities they had, and what they had failed to do—and every town fails to do something—and then go to the lecture and talk to those people about the subjects which applied to their locality. "Acres of Diamonds"—the idea—has continuously been precisely the same. The idea is that in this country of ours every man has the opportunity to make more of himself than he does in his own environment, with his own skill, with his own energy, and with his own friends. "
