Redeeming the Great Emancipator enumerates Lincoln's antislavery credentials, showing that a deeply held belief in the God-given rights of all people steeled the president in his commitment to emancipation and his hope for racial reconciliation.

Since the liberal revolution of the '60s and '70s, American history books have been biased toward the negative. They overemphasize America's racism, sexism, and bigotry while downplaying the greatness of her patriots. As a result, more emphasis is placed on Harriet Tubman than on George Washington, more on the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II than on D-day or Iwo Jima. This book offers a long-overdue acknowledgment of America's true and proud history.

Since the early 1960s, The Nightingale-Conant Corporation has been a world leader in publishing some of the most well-known, best-selling audio programs on success and happiness. For the first time, five of these great success classics are published in one library. You’ll hear the following five classics in their entirety: The Magic of Believing by Claude M. Bristol, Wake Up and Live! by Dorothea Brande, The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace Wattles, The Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu, and As a Man Thinketh by James Allen.

Originally published in 1903, this classic masterpiece, written as a series of thoughtful essays, reflects the central truth which is the foundation of all modern success works: “As we think, so we become.” This fundamental truth, which some have called "The Secret" or the "Law of Attraction", was clearly and convincingly argued for the first time in James Allen's masterpiece, As a Man Thinketh. Allen reveals how our thoughts shape our character, and manifest themselves in our finances, health, appearance, and environment.

A seminal piece on the power of thought, developed in collaboration with Nightingale-Conant, Janice Bryant Howroyd voices this original classic written by James Allen, a pioneer of the self-help movement. Originally published in 1903, As a Man Thinketh is an essay which argues that the key to mastering your life is harnessing the power of your thoughts and helps you cultivate the philosophy and attitude of a positive, successful person. As a Person Thinks, now enhanced for the 21st century and written as gender-neutral, contains a women's point of view for the first time.
