As a Man Thinketh

Hi there, 

I want to tell you about this really cool guy i'm infatuated with ~ i'm not implying that you follow my lead and start stalking this man, please don't- because i have the monopoly on this one.  My wonderful husband is an amazing photographer and has released his first book of photography set to James Allen's "As A Man Thinketh".  This book is simply gorgeous and so meaningful, truly.

If you happen to be in Charleston, South Carolina next weekend, please stop by  Blue Bicycle Books on Kings Street on January 15th from 1-4 pm ~ Bo will be there signing copies of the book. You can also get a copy  of the book here or from me at the shop, also signed.  Feel free to contact me if you'd like the book inscribed and shipped to someone special.

This is a press quote from the publisher;

"It has been said that James Allen is the “most quoted man you’ve never heard of.” In 1902, Allen published As a Man Thinketh, universally acknowledged as a classic book on self-examination. The precept conveyed in Proverbs 23:7 (“As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he”) inspired the book’s title. It also captures the essence of Allen’s philosophy. Through his eloquent and succinct prose, Allen conveys his thesis that it is up to the individual to form his own character and create his own happiness.        

In 1985, 15-year-old Bowman Gray IV lost his father to a heart attack. Later that same year, his mother gave him two gifts—a copy of As a Man Thinketh and a 35-millimeter camera. At the time, he did not fully appreciate how important these two gifts would eventually become to him. In his 20s, Gray, like many others, finally understood Allen’s words and began to change the way he viewed himself and how he interacted with the world. Through the years, Gray also developed his skills as a photographer. In this gift edition, he couples his own color photographs with Allen’s timeless advice to produce an inspirational book that will stay with readers for years to come."

Pretty wonderful, right?  Have a great weekend.  I will be announcing the winner of the Delilah giveaway next week.  I love all your ideas for kits so far.  Thank you.

love,
