Through the Gate of Good

Beschreibung

To help readers find what he calls the "spirit of truth in the heart of man," the bestselling author of As a Man Thinketh-one of the most popular writers in the fields of inspiration at the turn of the 20th century-provides a series of articles that set forth the life and precepts of Jesus... precepts he believes stand for all religion and that, in the end, come down to simple truth and goodness. With its insistence on a universal spirituality, this self-help book for the inner self can be enjoyed by readers of all persuasions. British author and pop philosopher JAMES ALLEN (1864-1912) retired from the business world to pursue a life of writing and contemplation. He authored many books about the power of thought including The Way of Peace, The Mastery of Destiny, and Entering the Kingdom.
