BOOK REVIEW

ACRES OF DIAMONDS
by Russell H. Conwell
Acres of Diamonds was written in 1862 during the 2nd year of the Civil War. However, it's a very thought provoking and soul searching book of only 63 pages. Mr. Conwell challenges the heart motivation of every Christian, reminding us that our Acres of Diamonds are within our grasp. We need to simply open our eyes and allow God to show us His riches. Page after page, paragraph after paragraph, pushes the Christian to consider his God-given abilities. "Who are the great inventors of the world? The great inventor sits next to you, or you are the person yourself. 'Oh,' but you will say, 'I have never invented anything in my life.' Neither did the great inventors until they discovered one great secret. Do you think it is a man with a head like a bushel measure or a man like a stroke of lightening? It is neither. The really great man is a plain, straightforward, everyday, commonsense man. You would not dream that he was a great inventor if you did not see something he had actually done. His neighbors do not regard him as so great. You never see anything great over your back fence. You say there is no greatness among your neighbors. It is all away off somewhere else. Their greatness is ever so simple, so plain, so earnest, so practical, that the neighbors and friends never recognize it. True greatness is often unrecognized."
