The Life Triumphant (Unabridged‪)‬

In this work, James Allen delineates the internal pilgrimage that commences with the cultivation of faith and courage and ends in knowledge and victory.

In the words of the author: "Every being lives in his own mental world. His joys and sorrows are the creations of his own mind and are dependent upon the mind for their existence. In the midst of the world, darkened with many sins and sorrows, in which the majority live, there abides another world, lighted up with shining virtues and unpolluted joy, in which the perfect ones live."

Allen's view of spiritual triumph is radically opposed to the compulsive and noisy jubilation of the realization of salvation in orthodox religion.
