This collection of reflective essays was the 11th book produced by New Thought author James Allen and was first published in 1910.

From Passion to Peace by James Allen is a self-help book here to help you gain inner peace that is so strong it can last no matter what you may be going through in the outer world. Steps on this journey to peace include: Passion, aspiration, temptation, transmutation, transcendence, beatitude, and finally peace. At the end of this highly spiritual self-help book filled with ancient wisdom teachings that are still relevant today, is a new thought poem by Hawkins that actors in this stage of life are encouraged to act out from within.

This short tract on the power of thought was the second book written by New Thought author James Allen and was first published in 1903. It has never been out of print and is now considered one of most influential self help texts of all time. The title is taken from a verse in Chapter 23 of the Book of Proverbs: "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." Allen's central thesis is that thought is not just a vehicle for comprehending and explaining the world, but is also the prime mechanism for creating and modifing human experience.

This book (the result of meditation and experience) is not intended as an exhaustive treatise on the much written-upon subject of the power of thought. It is suggestive rather than explanatory, its object being to stimulate men and women to the discovery and perception of the truth that - "They themselves are makers of themselves" - by virtue of the thoughts which they choose and encourage. That mind is the master weaver, both of the inner garment of character and the outer garment of circumstance....

It is wise to know what comes first, and what to do first. To begin anything in the middle or at the end is to make a muddle of it. The pupil does not begin with algebra and literature, but with counting and ABC. So in life the businessmen who begin at the bottom achieve the more enduring success; and the religious men who reach the highest heights of spiritual knowledge and wisdom are they who have stooped to serve a patient apprenticeship to the humbler tasks, and have not scorned the common experiences of humanity, or overlooked the lessons to be learned from them.

As the heart, so is the life. The within is ceaselessly becoming the without. Nothing remains unrevealed. That which is hidden is but for a time; it ripens and comes forth at last. Seed, tree, blossom, and fruit are the fourfold order of the universe. From the state of a man’s heart proceed the conditions of his life. His thoughts blossom into deeds; and his deeds bear the fruitage of character and destiny.

The genius of the present age in matters spiritual is towards simplicity, and the hunger of the human heart is for Truth naked and uninvolved. That hunger will eventually bring about (is already bringing about) its own satisfaction, and here and there are men and women who, passing through the Gateway of Self-conquest, are entering into possession of the Transcendent Righteousness.

The problem of life consists in learning how to live. It is like the problem of addition or subtraction to the schoolboy. When mastered, all difficulty disappears, and the problem has vanished. All the problems of life, whether they be social, political, or religious, subsist in ignorance and wrong-living. As they are solved in the heart of each individual, they will be solved in the mass of men. Humanity at present is in the painful stage of “learning.” It is confronted with the difficulties of its own ignorance.

Inside this two-in-one bundle, you’ll discover two classic books which have stood the test of time. Both of these books had a huge impact at their time of publication and continue to resonate with the hearts of millions this very day.

"When a man enters a dark room he is not sure of his movements, he cannot see objects around him, or properly locate them, and is liable to hurt himself by coming into sudden contact with them. But let a light be introduced, and immediately all confusion disappears.... To the majority, life is such a dark room, and their frequent hurts...are caused by sudden contact with principles which they do not see, and are therefore not prepared to deal with. But when the light of wisdom is introduced into the darkened understanding, confusion vanishes...." (from the foreword by James Allen)

There is, and always has been, a widespread belief in fate, or destiny, that is, in an eternal and inscrutable power which apportions definite ends to both individuals and nations. This belief has arisen from long observation of the facts of life. Men are conscious that there are certain occurrences which they cannot control, and are powerless to avert. Birth and death, for instance, are inevitable, and many of the incidents of life appear equally inevitable. Men strain every nerve for the attainment of certain ends.

The first three parts of this book, Passion, Aspiration, and Temptation, represent the common human life, with its passion, pathos, and tragedy. The last three parts, Transcendence, Beatitude, and Peace, represents the Divine Life calm, wise and beautiful of the sage and Savior.

Every being lives in his own mental world. His joys and sorrows are the creations of his own mind, and are dependent upon the mind for their existence. In the midst of the world, darkened with many sins and sorrows, in which the majority live, there abides another world, lighted up with shining virtues and unpolluted joy, in which the perfect ones live.

It is one of the most widely studied self-help books of all time and has had a major impact on generations, thanks to its simple message: "You are what you think". As we think, so we become. This fundamental truth, which some have called "The Secret" or the "Law of Attraction", was clearly and convincingly argued for the first time in James Allen's masterpiece, As a Man Thinketh.

Come listen to one of the most powerful books to alter one's thinking for the better.

As we move through life our mind guides our every step. Sometimes we get far off track. "Out of a clean heart comes a clean life", says James Allen. "Out of a defiled mind proceeds a defiled life and a corrupt body." Most people try to achieve a high worldly position without giving attention to their inner spiritual life. James Allen writes about what he learned during his own successful search for answers in this fascinating journey into truth.
