ACRES OF DIAMONDS AND OTHER WORKS BY RUSSELL H. CONWELL is a collection of nine books and other writings by noted American minister and orator Russell Conwell, including his classic speech, ACRES OF DIAMONDS. Powerful and Biblically-based, Conwell's writings have inspired and guided generations in prayer, happiness, money, and self-improvment. ACRES OF DIAMONDS is not only one of the greatest models of effective speech ever delivered, but it also contains the philosophy of a lifetime. Conwell asserts that one need look no further for success than his/her own community for success. • Acres of Diamonds • The Key to Success • Increasing Personal Efficiency • Every Man His Own University • What You Can Do With Your Will Power • Praying for Money • Health, Healing, and Faith • Subconscious Religion • Why Lincoln Laughed Russell H.
