Book Description
You are the same today as you'll be in five years, except for two things: the people you meet, and the books you read. The people you meet can't always be with you, but what you read in books can remain with you for a lifetime. How often we hear of individuals who began a new era in their lives with the reading of a single book. Some books can touch every important area of our lives and make us better people. This small volume contains three such books... three reknowned classics that could change your life dramatically.
"Acres of Diamonds," a perennial favorite, has a powerfully simple message which has helped millions of people recognize their potential for success. One of the most dynamic motivators of all time, Russell Conwell, promises that, if you will respond genuinely to the needs of humanity, you can find self-fulfillment "in your own back yard."
In "The Kingship of Self-Control," William George Jordan leads you expertly along the road to personal triumph. Challenging us to cast away those facets of ourselves which cause us to be less than what we should be, Jordan points the way to ultimate growth and happiness through self-discipline.
One of the most enlightening books ever written, "As A Man Thinketh" has been a favorite for decades. With insight and honesty, James Allen will inspire you to make your ideals become your reality. Having touched readers the world over, "As A Man Thinketh" is a book to be treasured.
Each of these classics was selected on the virtue of the timeless impact of its message. They are books to which the individual will return again and again, for the principles they set forth will be as relevant tomorrow as they were more than half a century ago.
A single reading will start you moving toward your goals. A second reading will keep you on the track until you reach those goals. And a third reading (perhaps years from now) will make you smile in recognition of the truths you were able to apply to your life.
