Synopsis

The timeless manual for living harmoniously through the art of positive thinking—HAS HELPED OVER 2 MILLION ON THEIR SPIRITUAL JOURNEY

“A practical handbook of spiritual development . . . [Fox] gives his readers a profound outlook upon life and an absolutely fresh scale of values.” — New York Times Book Review

A spiritual self-help masterpiece that will forever change the way you view yourself, and your faith. Emmet Fox's answer to healing, happiness, and true belief in a higher power is simple and attainable. He cuts through common religious dogmas to affirm that the teachings of Jesus express—at their core—a practical approach for the deepest development of the soul and for the shaping of our lives into what we really wish them to be. And through an open mind, and open heart, we become the person we were always truly meant to be.

For Fox, Jesus was "no sentimental dreamer, no mere dealer in empty platitudes, but the unflinching realist that only a great mystic can be." In The Sermon on the Mount, Fox shows how to:

•  Understand the true nature of divine wisdom
•  Tap into the power of prayer
•  Develop a completely integrated and fully expressed personality
•  Transform negative attitudes into life-affirming beliefs
•  Claim our divine right to the full abundance of life

Regardless of where you are on your spiritual or healing journey, The Sermon on the Mount is the missing component to achieving divine wisdom, authentic fulfillment, and a deep appreciation for what Jesus really called us to focus on: love. Our truths have always been right in front of us, and this book brings us to the light—our light.
