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.
Emmet Fox
"This book shows that your destiny is really in your own hands, because it is impossible to think one ting and produce another, and that by selection of correct thought a harmonious and happy life is produced."
