Product Description
James Allen, a 19th century English writer, is best known as the author of the best-selling, inspirational classic, As a Man Thinketh. For over a hundred years, this timeless work has motivated readers to lead more successful, effective, and peaceful lives. James Allen is also the author of over twenty other books, that are lesser known but equally powerful. The Wisdom of James Allen II is the second book in the Laurel Creek James Allen Wisdom series. It combines 3 of his classic works in one volume and includes: Light of Life’s Difficulties, Above Life’s Turmoil, and The Life Triumphant.

James Allen was an advocate of ethics in all the areas of our lives. His goal was to reveal universal spiritual principles to the masses in order to relieve people of their suffering, empower the individual, and thus uplift humanity. Allen's works focus on teaching personal responsibility, finding the cause of personal problems within our own selves, and revealing how each of us can harness our personal power to master our own destinies. The wisdom contained in his works provides a valuable guide for life.

From the Publisher
The Wisdom of James Allen II is the second volume in a projected 6-volume set of The Complete Works of James Allen published by Laurel Creek Press. (The first volume in this series is titled: The Wisdom of James Allen: 5 Classic Works including, As a Man Thinketh, The Path to Prosperity, The Mastery of Destiny, The Way of Peace, & Entering the Kingdom ISBN: 1-889606-00-6 $9.95) Each Wisdom of James Allen volume in the Laurel Creek James Allen Wisdom series groups 3 to 5 of James Allen's short works into one book. Edited for contemporary readers by Andy Zubko (compiler and editor of The Treasury of Spiritual Wisdom), the works contained in each volume are complete and unabridged. For clarity, Zubko's editing features dividing each chapter into subcategories, and rendering obscure or archaic words, phrases, and punctuation into modern usage. James Allen often used the generic masculine, as was the common practice of his time. This was retained in order to remain true to his voice.

The next volume in this series, The Wisdom of James Allen III, contains 4 more Classic Works, including: Out from the Heart, Byways of Blessedness, From Passion to Peace, and The Heavenly Life. Volume 3 will be available by Spring 2003.
