Story Synopsis

As a Man Thinketh...In His Heart

A novel inspired by the timeless James Allen classic -- As a Man Thinketh

***

If James Allen returned after 100 years to give the 21st century a message of such importance that it could save it, what would it be? How would he deliver it?

Millions of readers have credited the reading of James Allen’s As a Man Thinketh (1902) as a changing point in their lives. The public domain book still sells or is downloaded in print and audio off the internet in the tens of thousands of copies each month. It is estimated that millions of copies sell annually through book sellers. Hundreds of internet search pages are devoted to James Allen and As a Man Thinketh. Now 100 years later James Michael Pratt brings the gentle spirit of philosopher/author Allen alive in As a Man Thinketh…In His Heart.

            Novelist Pratt was deeply touched by Allen’s book when he received it on his eighteenth birthday, a gift from his mother and father. Allen’s inspiring words, among others, moved Pratt to chart a course which ultimately has led to his becoming an author of inspirational fiction and non-fiction. Now James Pratt adds this to his list of published literary works.

            The lovers of James Allen’s work will be thrilled as James Pratt goes on  the hunt for the mysterious writer of a partially completed turn-of-the-century manuscript, Hampton of Devon, which he hopes is available for his use. His search for the copyright leads him to Ilfracombe, Devon, England.  Little will the author realize that time has been suspended at an obscure cottage, over-looking the Atlantic, and that answers to some of life’s most important questions are given him by the owner, a humble man of modest means. With the birth and introduction of “Power Thinking” Pratt will come away from the experience with far more than he bargained for in a research trip.

The pleasant stay, at what Pratt knew as a remote hillside Bed and Breakfast in Ilfracombe, is nothing short of a miraculous transfer of information desperately needed for a world living at break-neck speed, self-destructive in its cerebral approach to life’s urgent problems, and dying from a lack of direction the proprietor of the Victorian era home alone may offer.

As a Man Thinketh…In His Heart holds secrets for the reader to a better way to live as it reunites millions of readers with the beloved, but obscure, Englishman who bequeathed a treasure trove of inspiration before dying in 1912. But perhaps death is not what it seems, and great thinkers of yesterday have barely begun their work…Travel with James Michael Pratt to another time and place and discover the secrets that can change the world in, As a Man Thinketh…In His Heart
