366 bite-sized chunks of wisdom from history's most practical spiritual thinker, James Allen.
"James Allen may truly be called the Prophet of Meditation. In an age of strife, hurry, religious controversy, heated arguments, ritual and ceremony, he came with his message of Meditation, calling men away from the din and strife of tongues into the peaceful paths of stillness within their own souls, where the Light that lighteth every man that cometh into the world ever burns steadily and surely for all who will turn their weary eyes from the strife without to the quiet within. Many of the Meditations were written as he came down from the Cairn in the early morning, where he spent those precious hours alone with God while the world slept. Others are gleaned from his many writings, published and unpublished, and are arranged for daily readings at his request, and, we believe, under his spiritual guidance. The book must ever be a stronghold of Spiritual Truth and blessing to all who read it, and especially to those who use it for daily meditation. Its great power lies in that it is the very heart of a good man who lived every word he wrote." - Lily L Allen
If you need a simple but deep introduction to James Allen's thoughts and work, then look no further. The only of Allen's 21 books to be published posthumously, this book blends his final conclusions along with revisions of his previous work, shaved down and purified until they become crystalline nuggets of deep thought. Compiled by his wife and editor, Lily L. Allen, it was first released the year after his death in 1912.
