Not what I expected

This book was listed in "good condition" but the pages are brown with age and it smells like mildew. It was printed in 1938 but I was not looking for a collectors item I was looking for something I would enjoy reading. This wont be that since it stinks. The photo of the book I ordered had a dust cover on it but this book has none ans has been exposed to dust for many many years. I didn't mind the pencil marks on the pages though.

If you only have one book, this is the one.

Sermon on the Mount has the most information packed into a small book. It is the most basic book for spirituality I have found. I just read it for the fifth time. It explained a life saving situation for me, for when my husband in domestic violence was going to kill me. It gave me answers I never knew before. It is spiritual and shows how religion with dogma and creeds changed what Jesus taught.

the sermon on the mount

Some where in this book you will read something, that will change your life.

religion and intellect together

Fox encourages us to use our minds with our religion. This is a great work. In it's time it must have been quite controversial. Today Conversations with God and An Encounter With A Prophet expand on what Fox had to say in the 1930's. All three books are a must read for independant thinkers.

Essential guide for spiritual progess

Emmet Fox was a philosopher and lecturer in the '30s; this book was read and used by the founders of AA before the Big Book was written. Although Fox writes of what I think of as "absolutes" (you can overcome death, for example) kind of in the style of the Oxford Groups (also popular at that time), I find his approach to the Jesus Christ message full of hope and clear cut examples of how to apply this to your daily life. I cannot recite the Lord's Prayer without thinking of Fox's interpretation. I love this book!!

Essential to my recovery !!!

When I joined AA 4 months ago I was spiritually bankrupt and as cynical and bitter about organized religion as they come. The idea of praying and giving my will and my life over to a higher power was inconceivable. Fortunately, my sponsor suggested this book and I am now reading it for the second time, this time under-lining Mr. Fox's prose. To say that my life has change for the better since I've read this book is an understatement and I carry it with me every day. I just love the way Mr. Fox puts his spin on Jesus' sermon. What a wonderful way to live!
