"American Baptist minister and lawyer, Russell Conwell was the founder and first President of Temple University who is probably best remembered for his inspirational speech "Acres of Diamonds", in which he puts forth the idea that one need not look elsewhere for opportunity, but rather all the resources for achieving success exist in one's own backyard. This idea is exemplified in the parable of a man who sells his farm and abandons his family in search of diamonds. His journey takes him far and wide but without success and ultimately defeated by his failure flings himself into the ocean. Later it is discovered that the farm he has sold has a wealth of diamonds below its soil. Additionally in this lecture Conwell asserts his belief that it is not impious to be wealthy for it is not money which is the root of all evil but the love of money above all else. Contained in this little volume is that inspirational speech, "Acres of Diamonds", along with a short biography of Conwell by Robert Shackleton, and an autobiographical essay on his life as an orator by Conwell himself. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper."

Russell Conwell, founder of Temple College, toured America to deliver his famous lecture entitled "Acres of Diamonds." His premise was simple: every American has the opportunity to make more of himself or herself than one does in one's own environment, with one's own skill, with one's own energy, and with one's own friends. The lecture was presented across America more than 5,000 times throughout the course of his speaking career and remains a persuasive and relevant summary of practical importance for people today.

Religion & Spirituality

Christian Books & Bibles

In "Acres of Diamonds," Russell Conwell shows success is a spiritual idea--the result of spiritual principles. Though not a "get rich guide," Conwell's book shows how to find a fortune-if you know where to look. There are as many opportunities for success today as in Conwell's time, if not more so, because they are found first and foremost in one's own conscience. Through his ministry and philosophy that "all good things are possible," Conwell opened the doors of opportunity for untold millions. "Acres of Diamonds" echoes his core belief-that each of us is placed here on earth for the primary purpose of helping others. Conwell was a minister, the founder of Temple University, and two hospitals where no one was ever turned away for lack of money. He was also a famous lecturer. In his lecture, the story is told of a man who sells his farm to travel far and wide in search of diamonds. There is a moral to the story in "Acres of Diamonds," a story which Conwell presented as a lecture more than 6,000 and to untold numbers of people.
