In this tradition, THE GREATEST SALESMAN IN THE WORLD is destined to influence countless lives. "Here is the legend of Hafid, a camel boy of two thousand years ago, and his burning desire to improve his lowly position in life. To prove his potential ability he is dispatched to Bethlehem by his master, the great caravan merchant, Pathros, to sell only one robe. He fails and instead, in a moment of pity, gives the robe to warm a newborn baby in a cave near the inn. "Hafid returns to the caravan in shame but is accompanied by a bright star shining above his head. This phenomenon is interpreted by Pathros to be a sign from the gods, and he gives Hafid ten ancient scrolls which contain the wisdom necessary for the boy to achieve all his ambitions. "This haunting story also presents the complete writings from the original scrolls. Hafid applied their secrets of success to become the greatest salesman in the world...and what they accomplished for him they can also achieve for you...for we are all 'salesmen'...and the success we attain in life depends greatly on how we 'sell' ourselves to others. "You will long remember the book's final chapter...as old, wealthy, and successful Hafid, THE GREATEST SALESMAN IN THE WORLD, ultimately passes on the ten scrolls to a very special person."
