Inspirational Classic

There was once a man who dreamed of finding a diamond mine. He sold his farm and set out to travel far and wide on his search, without any luck. When he returned to his home town, he was astonished to find that there had been a diamond mine on his old farm the whole time! This story underpins the author's teaching, to work from where we are here and now. Success is not out there, it's in the qualities within us.

Meet the author, a self-made man who lived a totally unselfish life, and who opened doors of opportunity for untold millions through his philosophy that "ALL GOOD THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!" He believed that each of us is placed here on earth for one main purpose--to help 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 tale Conwell gave the lecture over 6,000 times to untold numbers of people. It earned over $4,000,000 (about $150,000,000 in today's dollars.) all given to youth and education.

"ACRES OF DIAMONDS" is a spiritual book. It is not a "get-rich-quick" guide. Conwell saw that success is a spiritual idea, and is a result of spiritual principles. The 160-page book includes the lecture and biographical material. Here is the original self-motivational message, long lost, now found!

You, too, can find your fortune -- if you know where to look. Let the author point you in the right direction to find your "Acres of Diamonds." There are 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.

About the Author:
Russell H. Conwell, the founder of Temple University in Philadelphia, was described by the great John Wanamaker as a student, schoolmaster, lawyer, preacher, organizer, thinker and writer, lecturer, educator, diplomat, and leader of men. Conwell was also the founder and pastor of Baptist Temple, one of the largest Protestant churches in America during his day and time. He also founded two hospitals in the City of Brotherly Love. His famous Acres of Diamonds speech helped countless individuals to come into the knowledge of the meaning of true wealth and how to attain it without getting sidetracked by selfishness and greed.
Review:
"This is a book that I will always recommend to struggling youth who are trying to succeed in life." -- Bello I.S "Amazon"

"This is a wonderful book, with some entrepreneur ideas as well. This concept of living in the present moment and enjoying each day and not losing time searching for things that don't bring happiness is so needed in the world today. The best things in life are free and often right there in our own backyard." --Frese "Amazon"

"The story was uplifting and challenged me to look closer at the opportunities I have all around me. And, the biography of Conwell also challenged me as a preacher to strive to reach his level of performance." --Roy C. Butler II "Amazon"

"This is one of the first stories I heard as a very young man. The lesson in the story stays with me even today." --Michael Weiner "Amazon"
