Emmet Fox wrote and taught with profound insight early in this century. Now recognized as a great motivational writer, his simple message— "thoughts are things"—still applies in the new millennium. First published in 1940 as Power Through Constructive Thinking, his collection of thirty-one essays addresses ways to help us achieve our desires. In the Introduction to the volume, his said, "Thought is the key to life; for as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." Another theme in his work—echoed in later years by other teachers—is "that fear is the ultimate cause or Tap-Root of all sickness, failure, and disappointment." These essays are quick to read but require thought and assimilation. This information is as relevant today as it was when Fox wrote and lived.
