Around the Year with Emmet Fox: A Book of Daily Readings

I have had this book for many years. During that time I have used it as a daily meditation, as it was written, and probably still should be. But instead, for quite a while now I find myself going to the end of the book where there are about 10 pages of "Prayers and Meditations", which are taken from other passages in the book. When times are especially challenging, when I am depressed and discouraged, this is where I go. Those pages never fail to give me a little boost and remind me that I am not alone.

Love Emmet Fox

I can sit down and read a page today it encourages me each and every day to do something with yourself and it's a big encouragement. Thank you for having such items on Amazon.

This book is one that I refer to daily. It is a book of inspirational musings that will help you along your daily routine. The book helps you to reflect and check in with yourself. I really appreciate the fact that anyone can find nuggets of wisdom within this text no matter your religious or spiritual background. I would recommend this book to anyone. Check it out, you will not be disappointed.

I am an alcoholic with 23 years of sobriety. My entire sobriety I have been attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings to great effect. At seventeen years the weight of my secrets and lies of omission began to weigh upon me very heavily. I was beginning to feel the same guilt, shame, remorse, and emptiness I felt before sobering up. A loving friend gave me this book and nothing has been the same since. That was 8 years ago. This book helped me to discover that my prejudice against all things religious had kept me from finding the solution that AA had been offering me the whole time. Emmet Fox has a way of cutting away the useless "stuff" and allowing me to see life, Spirituality and God from a different perspective. I have since offered this book to another "lost" friend, and he to another. Today we are all great friends with a working knowledge of our Higher powers.

Around The Year With Emmet Fox is one of the most marvelous books I have ever read. Each day's reading is inspiring and designed to allow the reader to see that we are each and all children of God, totally loveable and forgiven for our sins through Christ. Each day's reading gives a clear picture of how we can recognize and utilize our God-given gifts to be the person God intended us to be. I cannot recommend this book more highly for the help it gives in understanding what a wonderful and joyous life God wants for each of us. Learning to accept God's love opens us to unlimited exchange of love and caring with our fellow man. What more can we ask! Moreover, it clearly directs us to ask what we will of God since He wants to do all He can for us. Believing the truth of "Ask and you shall receive" opens a whole new world for us. "Believe and Ye shall receive" is absolutely true!

I chose this book because I love the content but in particular because the cover was different than the current version of the book. My wife also has the book with the cover in my picture. I wanted to be able to tell them apart. But my book arrived with the new, same cover as my wife’s book. Other thank that, of course, the content is the same and is helpful and directive every day. Great book!

This is a fantastic devotional for people in recovery struggling with the God idea. It’s a gentle way to start the day. Happy reading!

Quick one page a day . Good

This book includes short daily reflections, taken from a selection of Emmet Fox's writings. Each day of the year includes a short Bible reference and the writer's insights flowing from that biblical quote. Often these insights shed entirely new light on familiar bible verses. Many of the daily entries are truly inspirational and encourage the reader to reflect on aspects of life in a whole new way. The book is very accessible and easy to understand. It is designed to be read over the course of a year, one page each day. However, it would also work if a reader wanted to open the book at a random page and reflect on that passage. I wouldn't recommend trying to read several days' worth of entries in a single sitting though... give yourself time to reflect on each daily quote to get the most out of this true gem of a book. As a source of spiritual inspiration, this book is probably in my top 5. I can see myself referring to it for several years to come.

This is the best way to start your day it gives you something to focus your mind on a must read

Ich habe erst ca. die Hälfte gelesen und schon Einiges gelernt, was mein religiöses/spirituelles Verständnis vertieft hat. Ein absolutes Muss für religiöse/spirituelle Menschen.
