For well over 40 years now I have benefitted from the teachings of Dr. Emmet Fox. His writings, and transcripts of his sermons, or speeches have been printed and printed for new audiences for longer than my 72 years of life.The essays or talks given by Dr. Fox between the covers of this initiation of metaphysical thought based on historical contributions quoted as "Scriptures".Dr. Fox brought to life the words and phrases of Biblical events that defy pre-conceived concepts of western and eastern beliefs and teachings and join them in a simple to understand and to accept in ones own life. For example his essay of "The Golden Key" .... he personally condensed the full text of his, to minimize the time reading to arrive at the elemental lesson given. After reading this booklet, as my first of Dr Fox's materials, I found the most gracious and serene place within and have built on that foundation since.I invite you to purchase a copy of this book. I feel you will find a lasting joy each day for the rest of your life, by the words of this humble man. One who influenced the program of Alcoholics Anonymous, and thereby the fellowships that grew from the lessons Dr. Fox, taught not far from the meeting place of the original attendees of AA, participants walked to hear him speak to growing crowds. I having been a member of a 12 step organization can see among the words of these fellowships the impact Dr. Fox had on the co-founders' creation of the successful programs that have given life to so many over the years, and long after the death of Dr. Fox and the co founders of AA.The almost fifty years of reading this graceful man's works have given me a much different life than I had contemplated having, one that I am quite happy with. I hope you find this contentment too, I am certain it is among the pages of this book that you will find your first step.Karen
