Emmet Fox (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 24, 1994

A rousing action program for
overcoming adversity and taking charge of life
-- by one of our century's greatest mystics.

For unhappiness, frustration, loneliness, and other afflictions of the spirit, Dr. Emmet Fox prescribes a powerful remedy based on the life and message of Jesus. In Alter Your Life, Fox explains that these "dreary" problems are actually bad habits of mind -- habits from which we can free ourselves.

"There is no necessity for anything but success, good health,prosperity, and an abounding interest and joy in life," Fox writes

Through a series of brief meditations, Fox shows us how to exchange our bad habits of mind for the healthy ones demonstrated by Jesus. Based upon biblical texts, Alter Your Life offers a progressive, life-changing course designed for all readers, whether or not they have read a religious book before.

This book is definitely one of my alltime favorites, as are most of Emmet Fox' books! For anyone who is serious about personal and spiritual growth, this book is a must. Emmet Fox' interpetation af the Scriptures are so profound......if you are a christian, this is a book that will help you to grow into greater understanding of the teachings of Jesus Christ, and if you are not, you will probably evolve into much greater respect of the bible and its teachings. I cannot explain in words how much this book, and others by Emmet Fox, has meant to me. It has completely liberated me in all ways and my life has been so much easier. Needless to say, I highly recommend this book to everyone!!!

I came across a beatup used hardback copy of this book in a Salvation Army 25 years ago. I am an African American woman with Pentecostal, Baptist, and Muslim background from my childhood. None of these doctrines ever spoke to my inner being the way Emmet Fox did in that little green book. It truly did alter my life and the way I viewed the universe and my place in it. I have since read all of Fox's other books an highly recommend this one for the novice in metaphysics.
