Summary: Truly life changing
Review: I was given a set of Fox's books 17 years ago. I read this book first and in it, found the way to begin my own search for the truth of "being." The best of it is, it isn't just theory or philosphy that seems to make sense -- it works. Fox doesn't give a distinct method of working, he says to find your own way of working. It isn't a religion. It isn't dogma. When he says working, he means praying effectively. Don't you tend to think of prayer as begging a supreme being for good luck? Don't most religions seem to truly be the "opiate of the masses?" Political structures, actually. Try "The Golden Key." I've had so many serious problems melt into the nothingness that they really are. As Fox says in the first page, "This mystic but intensely real force can pick you up today, now, from the midst of failure, ruin, misery and despair .....and solve your problems, smooth our difficulties, cut you free from any entanglements, and place you clear, safe, and happy upon the highroad of freedom and opportunity." It works. But keep in mind, you will apply these principles and your life will change wonderfully, and you will want to tell everyone you know that they can do the same, especially when you see those you love suffering. But most won't be interested, you'll see the most people want to hold on to their problems. It's the old saying, when the student is ready the teacher appears. I was ready 17 years ago and this book came into my life. I am happy, healthy, successful beyond my wildest expectations -- really!! -- I have more to look forward to every day and life is a wonderful experience for me. I have discovered that there is always more and more to discover in this wonderful universe, that there is so much more than anyone can ever dream of! I experience peace of mind more than I ever have before. This is not to say that every day in my life is perfect, but each day is pretty darned close to perfect! And when I let my thinking sink to a level where negativity and bad experiences begin coming into my life, I have learned a practical method of raising my conciousness back to the level that I best experience life. And this isn't a book that just helps you take on a philosphy that helps you carry your burdens, this is a practical method for dissolving negative conditions. The things Fox offers here can be the key to a gateway that you must travel for yourself. It's easier than you think! It's wonderful.

Summary: Rich thinking, spiritual depth
Review: Mr. Fox's classic exploration of Christian principle and prayer is a must for anyone wishing to deepen their faith. Evocative of many tenets of Christian Science, Mr. Fox delves into the concepts of divine health and healing, drawn directly from his interpretations of scripture. It's miraculous what he does, really. His chapter on The Lord's Prayer is a line-by-line reverie and exploration of Chrisianity's most powerful prose -- in plain words and clear thinking, Fox distills whole new universes of meaning from lines that can easily become rote and empty. This book is as helpful and accessible to those just coming to their faith as for the deeply faithful. You will turn to this book again and again to renew your personal attachment to God.

Summary: This book is an excellent daily meditation guide.
Review: Power Through Constructive Thinking offers a thoughtful interpretation of biblical passages for Christians and non-Christians alike. Written in an easy-to-understand style, Emmet Fox seeks neither to convert nor convince, only to help the reader deal with day to day problems and to deepen their own spirituality. I felt neither coerced nor dictated to, rather like I had been given tools with which to lead my life; I use this book as the basis for daily meditations. The strongest recommendation I can make is that I carried this book in my purse for several years, re-reading passages- and secondly that both Christian and non-Christian friends have read and been moved by this book.

Summary: This is the ultimate self-help book!
Review: This book changed my life. Through the wisdom of the author, I was able to change my entire attitude about life. Emmet Fox explains how we can replace fear with faith. He also explains the true meaning of faith and how we can use it to let go of negative thoughts and actions. He explains how we create the circumstances of our lives by our thoughts. This book freed me from the "victim" mode I was in and taught me to live in peace and harmony. As a result, I have expericed many miracles in my life. I thank God every day for Emment Fox and his teachings.

Summary: Life Changing Experience
Review: This book transformed my entire life, from fear and drama to love and joy. The freedom it granted me was the very thing that saved my life and spiritual quest. It gets right to the truth of any matter based on Metaphysics and Christianity. It opened my mind to the endless love and posibilities on this spiritual journey. Taking verses and concepts presented by Jesus and putting them into practical and real understandings. Emmet Fox has a wonderful way of looking at the scriptures with an open mindedness of symbolism rather than harsh and concreate literalism. It is a conglomeration of "treatments" for the mind and soul. Each chapter dealing separately with different human challenges. The most wonderful meditations and prayers are offered at the end of the book, providing a wonderful guide to scientific prayer. This is a book I have purchsed so many times I quit counting. I can not keep the beautiful gifts of enlightened truth revealed, to myself, I always end up giving it away. I have recomended my local book store to keep at least 3 in stock always. My significant other and I have begun a group of spiritual studies and this book is the next up to be read and discussed in detail.

Summary: This book totally changed me from the inside out.
Review: This is one of the most wonderful and powerful books I have ever read. If you are looking for answers about the nature of God, what is prayer and how does it work, who was Jesus and what was he really trying to teach us and what is the key that unlocks the deeper meaning of the bible; this is the book to read. Mr. Fox is the most profound writer in that he is able to relate the most complex ideas in an easily understood way. His love and excitememt of the stories and events of the bible are evident as he brings this medium alive to the reader. Never boring, but most of all totally relevant to living in today's world. Any book by Emmet Fox is a feast for the soul. This one will change your perception about everything you've ever known about the bible, spirituality and God! You'll never be the same!
