About the Author
Norman Vincent Peale (born May 31, 1898, Bowersville, Ohio, U.S.—died December 24, 1993, Pawling, New York) influential and inspirational American religious leader who, after World War II, tried to instill a spiritual renewal in the United States with his sermons, public-speaking events, broadcasts, newspaper columns, and books. He encouraged millions with his 1952 best seller, The Power of Positive Thinking.
Peale’s father was a Methodist preacher. The family moved frequently among various towns in Ohio as Peale was growing up, and he took after-school jobs to add to the family’s income. Following his graduation from Ohio Wesleyan University in 1920, he worked in journalism for a couple of years before deciding on a career as a minister. Peale was ordained in the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1922 and continued theological studies at Boston University, where he earned bachelor of sacred theology and master of arts in social ethics degrees in 1924. That year he was assigned to a small congregation in Brooklyn, NewYork, and, during his three-year tenure there, he built a new church and increased membership from 40 to 900. In 1927 Peale moved to the University Methodist Church in Syracuse, New York, where he again inspired a larger congregation and became one of the first clergymen to have his own radio program.
