This book examines the biblical text of the Sermon on the Mount as a source of spiritual power and direction. In it, Fox explains how to understand the true nature of divine wisdom, how to transform negativity into life affirming belief, how to pray effectively and how to develop an integrated and fully expressed personality according to the wisdom of the Bible.  It has been claimed that all the 12 steps of recovery are outlined in the Sermon on the Mount.
The aim of the book is to provide the reader with a practical manual of spiritual development.
For example: Chapter One: What Did Jesus Teach?
It is explained how the teachings of Messiah underpin 2000 years of Western civilization and shows that what he really taught was a practical method for the development of the soul and the shaping of our lives. Fox goes on to show how Jesus explains to us the nature of God, our own nature, the meaning of life and death, why we make mistakes and tells us how to overcome and bring health, joy and prosperity into our own lives and those of others.
