...as a guide for daily meditation, this book engages you in an inner dialogue that takes you exactly where you need to be everyday...And, no matter how many times you read the same passage, its always somewhere different..Rev. Ed shares his own spiritual healing with his unique sense of humor and you look forward to the 20 minuites you spend each morning meditating on the individual passages and reading his commentary...Different from all the others..and thats a good thing!

....of Ernest Holmes wonderful interpretation of the Sermon on the Mount. Pompous and egotistical.

I start this review by alerting you that I am biased. I attend Unity in Chicago where Reverend Ed Townley ("Rev. Ed") is a senior minister. I also took his class last year on this The Sermon on The Mount using this book. However you don't need to attend Unity or be familiar with Unity teachings to appreciate this book. Regardless, this is a book everyone could benefit from and I understand there some talk in the works to release sometime in the near future. This is not book where you simply read and put back on your book shelf; it is a book which should in my opinion; re-read and studied, as a daily guide, Meditations are listed with every segmented lesson as Rev. Townley goes through and interprets the words of Jesus. It is warm and refreshing look at the words of Jesus and in today's fast-paced confused, chaotic world who can't appreciate that? It appears that the world is slowly awakening to their Spiritual potential and this book is an excellent place to start. In closing the opening words of Jesus come back to me time and time again "Blessed are the Poor in Spirit, for theirs is in the kingdom of heaven." Spirit does not discriminate this is for everyone if you are willing to read, listen and are open to lovingly translation of the Sermon.
