Claude, C Hopkins
FQ Classics, 2007
The King Still Lives
There is an old saying that goes, "there is nothing new but what has been forgotten." Advertising is about 100 years old, but the science and art behind what appears to buying psychology, really hasn't changed that much. If you study this work of Claude C. Hopkins, you will understand that he pioneered methods that are still used today. David Ogilvy was another one of these pioneers, and he ...
My Bondage and My Freedom

FQ Digital Classics, 2008
One Man's Journey; Inspiration for a Nation
Standing in line at the Lincoln Memorial, a book beckoned to me that I previously hadn't seen before. The face of Frederick Douglas grabbed my attention; a man that I've respected for many years, encountering him mainly through my study of Abraham Lincoln. On the spur of the moment, I snatched up a copy of "My Bondage and My Freedom", and within a few days, my admiration in Frederick Douglass was ...

The Golden Road
9 reviews
FQ Digital Classics, 2008
One of the Two books I have read over and over....
The Golden Road and its prequel, The Story Girl, are two of the best books I have ever read. I never seem to get tired of them, either...I have read them countless times! If you enjoy L. M. Montgomery's novels, such as the Anne of Green Gables series, these books are a must. The Golden Road tells the story of cousins, Beverley (who narrates the story), Felix, Cecily, Felicity, Dan, and Sara ...

The Great God Pan.
"An incoherent nightmare of sex . . . " - The Westminster Gazette. _The Great God Pan_ is the first book of the Welsh writer of weird tales and mystic Arthur Machen, published first in 1894. This book was regarded as a form of decadent literature and was panned by critics of the Victorian era. Arthur Machen was a fascinating character and antiquarian whose weird writings reveal his learning ...

Andrew Murray
FQ Classics, 2007
A Favorite
Right up there near Brother Lawrence's "The Practice of the Presence of God" (free online at the Practice Gods Presence web site) are the wonderful works of Andrew Murray. "Absolute Surrender" is a classic in every sense. These gifted children of God have a way of restating, enlivening, and magnifying the very words of Our Lord and do greatly glorify Our Father.
The Amateur Cracksman

FQ Digital Classics, 2008
Evil thieving Sherlock Holmes
Yep this book pretty much gives you a take on what would happen if genius detective Sherlock Holmes were instead genius cat burglar Justice Raffles. Raffles commits high collar petty theft for fun and profit. He steals jewelry etc and uses his connections as a gentleman to sniff out new opportunities. At one point as he describes the many middle men involved in reselling a piece of stolen ...
Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion
10 reviews
David Hume
FQ Classics, 2007
Is God Knowable By Reason?
David Hume made a reputation by writing on reason and its limits. The main thrust of the Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion is to question whether theological arguments for God that assign Him positive attributes (omniscient, omnipotent, omnibenevolent, etc.) go beyond reason's limits in assigning these attributes. We watch Cleanthes (believer in theological arguments), Demea (believer more ...

Henry Drummond
FQ Classics, 2008
Beautiful Sermon on Love
Hadn't read Henry Drummond's book in years, but I recently picked it up again and re-read it and found it had lost none of its power for me. This book can be read in twenty minutes, but it's a twenty minutes that can change your perception of life and love. Drummond, who was an inspiring liberal-thinking Christian of the 1800's, divides Paul's chapter on love in First Corinthians into three ...

A Treasure of a Book!
As the other reviewers, I was given the book, by an aunt, back in the 60's when I was in seventh grade. She said she had been searching for a copy for me to read because she had loved it. I remember doing a book report on it for my 7th grade English class (I got an A)--and it was one book I never forgot. I thought it was out of print & had been looking for it for years at garage sales and used ...

Thomas Troward
FQ Classics, 2007
Timeless Text Explaining More Than Expected
While reading this phenomenal text that was originally copyrighted in 1913, I looked up (as to the heavens) and thanked the author, Thomas Troward for this contribution not only to my own spiritual development, but to the fantastic meaning and understanding that any student of spiritual text will find to be extraordinarily enlightening. There is so much meaning in this book. So much that ...

Ernest Holmes
FQ Classics, 2007
The First Book
Creative Mind was the first book Ernest Holmes wrote. It was published in 1919. But by 1998 when I was Editor of Science of Mind magazine this wonderful little book was out of print and almost impossible to find. We reprinted it with a Forward by Catherine Ponder, an author of many inspiring books and a great fan of Ernest Holmes. Creative Mind is one of my favorite books because it gave me ...

A MUST BUY
This is the book recommended by graham greene in his autobiography.he had studied this book inside out before embarking on his illustrious career. I suppose no other stamp off approval is needed after that.....

P. T. Barnum
FQ Classics, 2007
Humorous yet practical business wisdom.
Phineas Taylor Barnum (July 5, 1810 - April 7, 1891), American showman who is best remembered for his entertaining hoaxes and for founding the circus that eventually became Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus. In Brooklyn, New York in 1871, he established "P.T. Barnum's Grand Traveling Museum, Menagerie, Caravan, and Circus", a traveling amalgamation of circus, menagerie and museum ...

Thomas Troward
FQ Classics, 2007
LIFE, THE UNIVERSE AND EVERYTHING!
I found this book via the recommendation in Your Mind Can Heal You by Frederick Bailes. It's astonishing that it was originally published in 1915, because the ideas are quite contemporary. Thomas Troward (1847 - 1916) was an assistant commissioner and later divisional judge in the North Indian Punjab from 1869 until 1896. He wrote several small volumes that have had a profound effect on the ...
Dream Days

FQ Digital Classics, 2008
A rare gem indeed
If you are picking up this book, you most likely have read its companion, THE GOLDEN AGE. This book continues the exploits of the children introduced in the first volume. Veddy, veddy English. Completely delightful, though. I am not sure today's children would enjoy this book. The 19th Century British-isms will probably be quite tedious to any but the most precocious of children. And nothing ...

William Walker Atkinson
FQ Classics, 2008
Great tools for the development of mind
I found this book years ago by an accident, in an antiquity store in Zagreb. More than just worthy of the five stars- I found the lessons extremely useful. However, I would advise any beginner to be careful with the "trap door" and similar techniques, since they can easily lead one to putting too many things into the subconscious realm, instead of the opposite. Things like noticing the details on ...
A Letter Concerning Toleration
6 reviews
John Locke
FQ Classics, 2007
A CLASSIC AGAINST INTOLERANCE
This work by Locke, in spite of its brevity, is a required piece of reading in order to put in perspective the other endeavors of the author. The issues discussed in this Essay were at the base of the formation of political theory in the Western world, during the centuries of enlightenment. Locke's effort in the case of this Letter (of the 4 he wrote, this is the first one, published in 1689 in ...
Discourse on the Origin of Inequality

Jean-Jacques Rousseau
FQ Classics, 2007
Excellent
Excellent discourse. This book discusses some of the rudiments of the history of inequality and how its self supporting and ever existing in human nature. I recommend this book for those readers who either want to increase their knowledge on Jean-Jacques Rousseau or historical development of inequality (...)
