From Passion to Peace by James Allen is a self-help book here to help you gain inner peace that is so strong it can last no matter what you may be going through in the outer world. Steps on this journey to peace include: Passion, aspiration, temptation, transmutation, transcendence, beatitude, and finally peace. At the end of this highly spiritual self-help book filled with ancient wisdom teachings that are still relevant today, is a new thought poem by Hawkins that actors in this stage of life are encouraged to act out from within.
