The Bible teaches spiritual Truth in many different ways. Each chapter gives direct and simple teachings of the Truth, unsurpassed in any other work. But it is in its prayers and treatments that the Bible is transcendent. Among all the beautiful and heart-searching prayers, there is none that surpasses the wonderful and inspiring 46th Psalm.

A trail head

A succinct point of reference. A continual point of departure. A gathering point replete with every good and necessary thing for each days journey.

Wonderful in its simplicity

First, let me say that the only reason I marked off a star is because the Kindle version is rife with typos, and the publisher should realize it deserves better. The treatment itself is genius in making this essential Psalm accessible for every day use in one's spiritual and prayer life, for dealing with fears and worries large and small. It certainly has inspired me and will continue to inform how I pray.

Timeless Essay

I downloaded this essay over a year ago and I forgot why. I got to reading it finally and it was very good. A good read for anyone who needs a lift up and a reminder of the power of prayer.

A never ending story of mind

Emmet Fox clearly has a good understanding of the Bible. I set out on a quest for knowledge of the Bible only to get much more then I expected. I must say I feel as though I am part of the stories. Great work Mr Fox, you have opened my heart.

Inspiring

The scripture is read as meant. Words are decoded to give deep spiritual meaning, this encourages the reader. Emotions and thought are shown with wisdom.

Like only Emmet can.

Such a short simple reminder of the need for prayer and the need to slow down in order to get to where I want to be. Love this.
