Synopsis
This is Emmet Fox's classic spiritual work on the key to leading a richer
life of balance, harmony, and success. Distilled from years of study and
lecture, and affirmed by nearly a million readers over the last fifty years,
Fox's answer in The Sermon on the Mount is a simple and straightforward
approach to shaping our lives into what we really desire them to be.
Fox presents the Bible as a "textbook of metaphysics" and
the teachings of Jesus express - without dogma - a practical approach for
the development of the soul and for the shaping of our lives into what we
really wish them to be.
Reviews:
A reader from Tuscaloosa, Alabama , August
2, 1998 Gold Standard
For the members of A.A. this is the gold standard for spiritual advice.
Early recruitees to AA had to read this book to be allowed discharge from
Bob Smith's (AA's co-founder) alcoholics treatment facility. Read it and
see why.
Anne from Pennsylvania, USA , April 26,
1998 This book changed my life...
Previously agnostic, Emmett Fox gave me a Jesus Christ that I could believe
in and understand. My thoughts and emotions could not argue with his straightforward
approach. This book is fantastic for people in 12-step recovery programs
because the 12 steps are based on some of Emmett's teachings.
A reader from Columbia, South Carolina
, March 22, 1998 Excellent source for spiritual renewal & growth.
An indispensable source for the openminded. The power of Christ revealed
-- making you think and helping you grow. Explains Beattitudes, Lords Prayer,
and more. It sits by my bed and will stay there until I have mastered it.
Employ the paradox --give up your life to receive it, and enjoy God's peace.
This book will move you along the path.
A reader from Massachusetts , February
24, 1998 It made Christianity finally make sense--brought me back
I could never relate to a literal interpretation of the Bible and original
sin/fire and brimstone garbage. This is an explanation that makes the teachings
in the Bible relavant to you and me- symbols are explained...i.e. Moses
in the desert leading people to promised land symbolizes our own times spent
in spiritual desert searching for full life. Also, the BEST explanation
of the spiritual meaning behind the Lord's prayer. You must add this to
your library!
Allison from USA , February 21, 1998
Timeless concepts for living
Fox presents the basic precepts of life in a clear concise manner. Taken
from the teachings of Jesus it can be applied to any spiritual methodology.

This wonderful little book, carefully read, will change your life. Emmet
Fox summarizes the message of Jesus in a manner that is directly applicable
to life, providing a succinct path to true joy and enlightenment. Definitely
read it.
