The 75th anniversary of David Manners' start in Hollywood was in 2005. The world knew him for his roles in Dracula, The Mummy, Bill of Divorcement, The Black Cat, Last Flight, The Miracle Woman, and over 30 other films from 1930 to 1936. 

But David was much more than flickering images on the Silver Screen. David walked away from the fame and riches of Hollywood to find his understanding of the nature of God and the universe. 

In the Mojave Desert, at Yucca Loma ranch, he found peace from the Hollywood image machine. He wrote novels and studied religious and metaphysical writings from the East and West. Leaving behind his upbringing in the Anglican and Episcopal Churches, he combined elements of New Thought (Unity, Religious Science, and Christian Science) with Zen, Taoism, and Buddhism. 

From 1978 to 1993, David kept journals of his daily meditations about God and living in joy-as life is meant to be. The Wonder Within You presents excerpts from these journals and his newsletters. "If the Truth that is hidden here comes through to you, say it secretly in your own words and experience the celebration of the heart." 

Edited and with a biographical introduction by David Morgan Jones, the wisdom of The Wonder Within You is ready to be discovered and experienced.

Scott O'Brien, author of "Kay Francis - I Can't Wait to Be Forgotten," said: "I found the wisdoms of Manners' pen to be an excellent catalyst for 'being present' with what is. What Manners shares here are the pearls and gems of wisdom that really make a difference. David Morgan Jones has done an excellent job of selecting material from Manners' journals, and is to be commended for getting this important work published. Highly recommended."

Shirley Roe, of Allbooks Review, said: "Thought provoking, intense proclamations of a truly enlightened human being make this a wonder filled read for seekers of Truth. The book is pleasantly presented and well laid out. The writing is professional and above reproach. A true literary jewel, this book is highly recommended."
