My first thought when reading this book was, "my mind is blown!" but then I realized that wasn't true - indeed, my mind had been awakened. A student of metaphysics, the concepts in this book were neither foreign nor confusing to me. This book took my knowledge of metaphysics to an even deeper understanding. It opened my eyes to what my mind knew all along intuitively - that there was so much more to the Bible than traditional, fundamentalist thinking led to believe. It was as though with this book my search came to treasure. This book is certainly a treasure and I can see why it is referred to as Filmore's crowning achievement. I will read this book until the pages fall out and then buy another. I'm buying my husband his own copy. This book has also taken my thesis research to an entirely different level of depth.

I've read reviews about the binding of the book. It is basically a print on demand style book but I would encourage the proverbial "don't judge a book by its cover" on this one. The proof of it's worth is achieved through its contents.

He made love the Bible, especially the old testament. Also he helped me understand other scriptures of mythologies and cults. After reading it, a reader can start seeing the art behind these scriptures.

Great reference book! Recommend reading for all students of Unity, New Thought, or Metaphysical Christianity. Charles Fillmore’s interpretations are a great jumping off point. Fillmore provides a completely fresh perspective on the Bible.

I refer to it daily in my study of metaphysics and the Spiritual Life.

More of a booklet and not what I was expecting but still useful.

Very informative tome on the esoteric aspect of Bible figures and themes. Not orthodox in doctrine at all but still interesting.

Very cool book, it is Fillmore's interpretation of the Bible but it opens you up to thinking differently, and I like that

Especially good for studying the microcosmic significance of city names in relation to the body and the parts of the tree of life

Informational and helps a person understand metaphysical terms.

Haven't read straight through, but great for Bible interpretation.
