Emmet Fox was a New Thought spiritual leader of the early 20th century, famous for his large Divine Science church services held in New York City during the Depression.
Reincarnation is a topic that is misunderstood by many people. Emmet Fox's title Reincarnation Described and Explained: The Key to Life's Most Baffling Problem explains succinctly what Karma is and that rather than being a punishment, Karma is what unfolds when choices are made. Some choices are additive to life, and some are detrimental, but always another choice can be made. He thoroughly explains the reincarnation occurs at conception. A soul is attracted to the meeting of the sperm and ovum of a couple both of whom have a similar soul make up to the soul that is coming into being. Parents are not chosen by a soul; the soul comes to the parents who have a soul make up like theirs. Though the book is short, it is filled with deep information for any who are interested in the larger questions of life. It is a book to be read more than once.
