Perry Hayden was a Christian who wanted to prove that the law of tithing was in fact the divine law of prosperity. To prove his theory, he set up an experiment in 1940 where he planted one cubic inch of wheat seed. His intention was to tithe the tenth each year from the crop. American industrialist and business magnate Henry Ford became interested in this effort and lent his support by loaning Mr. Hayden farmland in Tecumseh, Michigan to plant on and equipment to harvest his crop with. GOD IS MY LANDLORD, which was first published in 1947 and was dedicated to Henry Ford, who had died in April of that same year, tells the sensational inside story how Perry Hayden and Henry Ford proved through their spectacular Biblical Wheat Experiment that it pays to tithe and share with the Lord. The book contains 32 pages of priceless pictures of Henry Ford taking part in this phenomenal demonstration as his last public activity, as well as many other celebrities from every walk of life. Members of almost every faith, color and creed took part in this world-famous six-year project, which made many Biblical truths a living reality

"You always wished to appear original (...) but your originality is really nothing but excessive self-esteem." Nineteen-year-old Nekhlyudov writes to his aunt that he has given up his university studies and devoted himself entirely to the affairs of his estate. High on his own idealistic plan, he tells her that it is his sacred duty to improve the conditions for the hundreds of peasants working for him, and that he will devote his life to their happiness. Save to say, his aunt is not impressed by his plans and, as it turns out, it is all a lot easier said than done. A Landlord’s Morning is based on Tolstoy’s own experiences as a young man hoping to find happiness by doing good. An idea that never left him and which he revisited in Anna Karenina 20 years later through the character of Levin. Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) was a Russian author, a master of realistic fiction and one of the world’s greatest novelists. Tolstoy’s major works include "War and Peace" (1865–69) and "Anna Karenina" (1875–77), two of the greatest novels of all time and pinnacles of realist fiction. Beyond novels, he wrote many short stories and later in life also essays and plays.
