Product Description

This little pamphlet, The Golden Key, introduces a spiritual practice that has changed the lives of thousands of people. Written by Emmet Fox in 1931, it contains just one profound idea: Stop thinking about the difficulty, whatever it is, and think about God instead.

This simple truth has resonated for decades with people who might not consider themselves particularly spiritual because it offers practical guidance for getting through a day and shaping a life.

Emmet Fox (1886-1951) was a teacher of metaphysics who led the successful Divine Science Church of the Healing Christ in New York City. In the 1930s and 1940s he spoke weekly to thousands, first in the Hippodrome and later in Carnegie Hall. He was the author of eight books, including interpretations of the Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount.

Fox was a friend of Unity cofounder Charles Fillmore’s and an enthusiastic proponent of New Thought in general and particularly Unity. He was also profoundly influential on the philosophy of Alcoholics Anonymous through his acquaintance with AA founder Bill Wilson.

And yet for all his publications, speeches, and other accomplishments, Fox is probably best known today as the author of this five-page pamphlet called The Golden Key. First printed at the height of the Great Depression, its message is clear, its language simple. Fox called it “a practical guide for getting out of trouble,” and thousands of people have found it to be just that.
