Summary: The Truth Works...
Review: The traditional interpretations of Jesus the Christ's teachings have turned thinking individuals into opponents of the Bible. Well, Mr. Fox's work (I read the original version published in the 1930's) provides some acceptable insights. While Mr. Fox's works are slightly skewed in his references to how the "European race" has civilized the rest of the world, brought order where there is chaos, etc., etc., there is a solid message here. His analysis the Sermon on the Mount (Mathew 5, 6 and 7 in the Bible), demonstrates beyond a shadow of a doubt that the mind is the builder of all that is in the life of man and woman. If you are a Christian fundamentalist who has decided not to question literal, traditional interpretations of the Bible in any way, this book is not for you. However, if you find that traditional, mainstream Christianity doesn't fit into your views of life and yet you still believe in the fundamental usefulness of the core teachings of Christianity, I offer that you do the following: 1) Read this book with an open mind 2) Test some the principles in your own life, applying the principles to the resolution of problems that have heretofore not been solved using other methods 3) See what happens. Every New Thought book I review I also mention the works of Dr. Joseph Murphy's ("The Power of Your Subconscious Mind" is his most famous) because they have had such an impact on my life as well the lives of countless others. If you are new to New Thought and are trying to decide which books to buy, I say read Joseph Murphy Book "Telepsychics" where he discusses Emmet Fox and this book as well.

Summary: keeps teaching
Review: this book has been a staple in my personal library for the past 10 years. I have given this book as a gift to special people in my life and I will continue to do so. I have nothing but good to say about this and all of Emmet Fox's writings. Thank God for Emmet Fox. If the Bible is a bit difficult for you to understand and life isn't providing you with the answers you need, this book can help you. It is for the 'intellectual' mind.

Summary: A little book about success and correct way of praying
Review: This is the most wonderful interpretation of the Sermon on the Mount I have yet found. I have read this small book many years ago, but its words have become engraved on my mind and in my heart and it has had a profound impact upon my life.
It deals with spiritual truths, which many people recite through prayer daily, but don't give it much thought. This little book points out in a very clear way, all the elements of not only praying in a way that the prayers are answered, but of creating a successful life - and developing attitude, character and consciousness that brings about that success.
This book has in its own way changed the way I looked upon my relationship with God and my relationship with abundance and one's "daily bread". It has also kept me aware that if one desires to open the way, before the person even begins to pray, the person first needs to cleanse his mind and heart, and forgive anyone toward whom he holds any form of unforgiveness (including himself).

Summary: You will read this one at least twice!
Review: This work has changed my life. The book truly gets to the bottom line of spiritualism, and the teachings of Jesus, the great discoverer of the Christ in all of us. It reveals the TRUTH, or an accurate interpretation of the words used in the greatest speech ever made. Do you really know what the words: Earth, Heaven, or Meek ... mean't when Jesus used them? You will feel so liberated with this perspective or at the least, you will be blind-sided by the enlightenment alone.
Wipe away all the religious dogma you have ever adhered to for a moment, read this book, practice it, and live well.

Summary: Essential to my recovery !!!
Review: When I joined AA 4 months ago I was spiritually bankrupt and as cynical and bitter about organized religion as they come. The idea of praying and giving my will and my life over to a higher power was inconceivable. Fortunately, my sponsor suggested this book and I am now reading it for the second time, this time under-lining Mr. Fox's prose. To say that my life has change for the better since I've read this book is an understatement and I carry it with me every day. I just love the way Mr. Fox puts his spin on Jesus' sermon. What a wonderful way to live!
