This is not a book that says whatever you want to believe is true. It is about real spirituality. I would also recommend the Book An Encounter With A Prophet for real spiritual solutions.

It's always a stir in the soul for me to pick up a book with so much Biblical insight, intense spirituality, and practical living and NOT have it come from shallow, Bible-thumpers, whose interpretation is the only one. Readers beware! This is not a "whatever you want to believe" tome. Rather, it's a gleaning from his larger work "The Sermon on the Mount" as well as other writings, published and unpublished. Designed as a book of daily brief devotional thought, it delivers enough of a thought for the day that the spirit's thirst will be quenched, and its hunger satisfied, for a day. There will be an additional portion for the next day's feeding! Just enough, and all you need.

This book, with it's inspirational messages and teachings, got me through the most difficult time in my life. Every day is a thought provoking topic which keeps me thinking and learning about different aspects of my spiritual relationship. I pass this book along to friends who need help, it's been great!

Emmett Fox is full of God's wisdom. This devotional styled book gave me peace in daily small doses.

My husband and I love the book. We have worn out our paperback copy so we were thrilled to be able to get a hard-covered copy. The daily readings demonstrate how we should lead our lives on a daily basis in a simple way that all people can relate to. I highly recommend the book for anyone seeking spiritual guidance and the peace and contentment that comes when we know we walking with God.

I have read this daily reader along with Oswald Cambers MY UPMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST, of course while studying the Old and New Testament, for over half my life and I am approaching sixty. I highly recommend it.Of course the Bible being the MOST important. However these biblically based books help one gleam a much deeper insight into the Holy Trinity..............Peace to all men, and blessings as well.
A post script I might should add is this, do you really want to know LOVE? We are all on a Spiritual path in this "life", many of us do not know it yet. We are Spiritual Beings having a temporay Physical experience. We came from Love we return to Love.

I am a member of A.A..I heard Emmet Fox was instumental in the early years of the fellowship. I was interested in what he had to say. This book has become part of my daily readings along with "Daily Reflections" and "Twenty-Four Hours a Day".Daily Reflections: A Book of Reflections by A.A. Members for A.A. Members

After reading this book I understood for the first time what Jesus taught and why the gospel is the good news. Fox is lucid, practical, inspirational. Of all the books I have every read about spiritual understanding, this one stands at the very top.

Emmet Fos has allowed me to know the teachings of Jesus Christ. There is no greater gift, except what Christs teachings give us which is realization of God's Love. This is a great addition to our morning gratitude thoughts.

I have made this book a part of my daily meditation process for many years now. It continues to inspire me and bring me to heightened stages of spiritual growth each day of the year. I love this book.
