Byways of Blessedness
"Mr. Allen''s latest book appeals to us as being his best. It is a useful book for a quiet hour." ~Christian Life"A Book For All. It Aims To Reveal the Sublime Principles Which Lie Hidden In the Common Facts of Daily Life."James Allen: The principles put forth are applicable to the common circumstances of daily life, in which all are frequently involved, and upon the wrong or right use of which all our misery or happiness depends; and those who put these principles into practice will very rapidly prove for themselves that circumstances are subordinate to the human will, and as the potter moulds the unsightly clay into shapes of beauty, so the spiritual potter (he who has acquired the right state of mind) brings out of ''adverse conditions'' results that are precious, beautiful, and blessed."The Book Expounds Those Right States of Mind and Wise Modes of Action Which, When Adopted Under Trying Circumstances, Bring About Results Fruitful of Blessedness.""A brightly written book is Mr. James Allen''s new volume, entitled ''Byways of Blessedness.'' " ~Light"Mr. Allen''s latest book appeals to us as being his best. Particularly are the chapters on ''Forgiveness'' and on ''Silentness'' full of wise thought, calmly yet impressively uttered. It is a useful book for a quiet hour." ~The Christian Life"A book which, with careful reading, Christians of all shades of creed will find beneficial, for it inspires to the pursuit of the loftiest ideals of holy, happy living... Moreover, the work is written in a terse, lucid, and forcible style, contains numeruos clear-cut gems of rich thought, and is evidently the result of ripe experience and rare reflection. For these reasons, then, I heartily commend ''Byways of Blessedness.'' " ~Christian Million

James Allen's: As a Man Thinketh

James Allen's: As a Man Thinketh
The aphorism, "As a man thinketh in his heart so is he," not only embraces the whole of a man''s being, but is so comprehensive as to reach out to every condition and circumstance of his life. A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts. As the plant springs from, and could not be without, the seed, so every act of a man springs from the hidden seeds of thought, and could not have appeared without them. This applies equally to those acts called "spontaneous" and "unpremeditated" as to those, which are deliberately executed. Act is the blossom of thought, and joy and suffering are its fruits; thus does a man garner in the sweet and bitter fruitage of his own husbandry.

From Poverty to Power Or, the Realization of Prosperity and Peace

From Poverty to Power Or, the Realization of Prosperity and Peace
I looked around upon the world, and saw that it was shadowed by sorrow and scorched by the fierce fires of suffering. And I looked for the cause. I looked around, but could not find it; I looked in books, but could not find it; I looked within, and found there both the cause and the self-made nature of that cause. I looked again, and deeper, and found the remedy. I found one Law, the Law of Love; one Life, the Life of adjustment to that Law; one Truth, the truth of a conquered mind and a quiet and obedient heart. And I dreamed of writing a book which should help men and women, whether rich or poor, learned or unlearned, worldly or unworldly, to find within themselves the source of all success, all happiness, all accomplishment, all truth. And the dream remained with me, and at last became substantial; and now I send it forth into the world on its mission of healing and blessedness, knowing that it cannot fail to reach the homes and hearts of those who are waiting and ready to receive it. This version of the classic book includes a biography about the life and times of James Allen.

Byways to Blessedness (Annotated with Biography about James Allen)
Along the highways of Burma there is placed, at regular distances away from the dust of the road, and under the cool shade of a group of trees, a small wooden building called a “rest-house”, where the weary traveller may rest a while, and allay his thirst and assuage his hunger and fatigue by partaking of the food and water which the kindly inhabitants place there as a religious duty. Along the great highway of life there are such resting places; away from the heat of passion and the dust of disappointment, under the cool and refreshing shade of lowly Wisdom, are the humble, unimposing “rest-houses” of peace, and the little, almost unnoticed, byways of blessedness, where alone the weary and footsore can find strength and healing. Nor can these byways be ignored without suffering. Along the great road of life, hurrying, and eager to reach some illusive goal, presses the multitude, despising the apparently insignificant “rest-houses” of true thought, not heeding the narrow little byways of blessed action, which they regard as unimportant; and hour by hour men are fainting and falling, and numbers that cannot be counted perish of heart-hunger, heart-thirst, and heart-fatigue. But he who will step aside from the passionate press, and will deign to notice and to enter the byways which are here presented, his dusty feet shall press the incomparable flowers of blessedness, his eyes be gladdened with their beauty, and his mind refreshed with their sweet perfume. Rested and sustained, he will escape the fever and the delirium of life, and, strong and happy, he will not fall fainting in the dust, nor perish by the way, but will successfully accomplish his journey. This version of the classic book includes a biography about the life and times of James Allen.

As a Men Thinketh - James Allen
This little volume (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 circimistance, and that, as they may have hitherto woven in ignorance and pain they may now weave in enlighteimient and happiness. James Allen.
