Summary: Powerful words of wisdom
Review: Emmet Fox wrote in the Christian Gnostic tradition, but his inspiring words will benefit people from all traditions. This book is a collection of writings compiled from pamphlets and includes sermons and meditations on a wide variety of subjects. The author's brilliant insights are vividly demonstrated by his psychological interpretation of Biblical passages, for example his sensible explanation of the 91st Psalm in the chapter titled "The Secret Place", where he convincingly shows that the psalmist knew about the individual's two minds: the conscious and the subconscious. Like the other great 20th century metaphysicians such as Florence Scovel-Shinn, Joseph Murphy and Ernest Holmes, Fox had a wonderful gift for conveying ancient spiritual truth in simple language that everyone can understand. He deals with issues like reincarnation, faith, scientific prayer, cosmic law, life after death and the practice of the presence of God in a most gripping and engaging manner, showing the true meaning of biblical passages in the light of psychology. My favorite chapters include (a) The Yoga Of Love, in which he confirms that there are many paths to the great goal, but that the pathway of love is the shortest and the easiest (b) The Wonder Child, about the indwelling presence of God, and (c) The Lord's Prayer, demonstrating what a carefully constructed formula this prayer is for the development of the soul (d) The Good Shepherd, a meditation on Psalm 23. Some chapters are introduced by quotes from the Bible, the Koran and poems by Bulwer Lytton, George Meredith and Wordsworth among others. The book as a whole is deeply spiritual and highly inspiring while practical at the same time. Ideally it needs to be studied, not just read once, and will certainly contribute to making the reader's life more rewarding and fulfilling. Fox understood the wellsprings of life and how the individual can achieve a richer and happier life by choosing the right thoughts.

Summary: It changed my life
Review: I discovered emmet fox in 1974, and at the tender age of 22, he changed my life. Many times through the years, I've thanked God for that change. This I think is probably my favorite of his books. Prayer works, especially if you know what you're doing.

This book deals with specifics in consciousness and practical, real ways to address anxieties and problems each of us face in our daily lives. I can't recommend it enough; it changed my entire outlook on life.

Summary: You will never view Christianity the same way again
Review: I stand amazed. I have never in all my years read a book on metaphysics vis a vis Christianity and the Bible that I so completely resonated with. Emmet Fox, one of the original architects of the New Thought Movement published this book in 1932 and it is still fresh--even revolutionary--today. This book is so elegant, sincere and intelligent that it has made me reconsider my identification with Eastern spirituality and turn back to my Christian "roots". This book boils down the big questions sweetly and succinctly, without ever sounding sanctimonious or judgmental. A real eye-opener, and for many on the spiritual path...a breath of fresh air.

Summary: Life Changing Experience
Review: I stumbled on Emmet Fox after reading one of his quotes in another book. After reading the many reviews here, I bought this book -- thank God! I am reading my fourth E.Fox book now and plan to read them all. These books have helped me to forgive my enemies, to pray in a most natural way, to understand the Bible better, and to become, day by day, a person less filled with fear and hate and more filled with love and grace. I think this is a great Fox book to start with -- worth far more than its price
