Descriere & specificații

Emmet Fox was born in Ireland in 1886. After receiving his education in England, he moved to the United States in the early 1930's, where he began lecturing on spirituality in New York City. He quickly became one of the most influential leaders of the New Thought Movement and was a major inspiration for Bill W. and Dr. Bob, the co-founders of Alcoholics Anonymous. Fox presented his "essays" at the Hippodrome Theater, the Manhattan Opera House, Carnegie Hall, and the Astor Hotel. These "meetings" were regularly attended by several thousand people, including Bill W., his wife Lois, and many of New York City's AA members. These "essays" became the basis for various books and pamphlets. Dr. Bob owned, read and recommended Fox's writings to those he worked with in the Midwest. Much of Emmet Fox's philosophy resonates throughout the "Big Book." For example: Devote at least a quarter of an hour a day to prayer and meditation. Train yourself to give the first thought on wakening to God. Resolutely turn your back on the past, good or bad, and live only in the present. Forgive everybody without exception, no matter what they may have done, and . . . then forgive YOURSELF whole-heartedly. Endeavor to make your life of as much service to others as possible. Here, for the first time, is a compilation of many of the "essays" and booklets Emmet Fox wrote during the 1930's. You can read for yourself the words of a man who had a profound influence on Bill, Bob and the AA old-timers. Wally P.
