Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
In this relatable, down-to-earth book, Williamson explicates A Course in Miracles, which she describes as "a self-study program of spiritual psychotherapy." Both A Course in Miracles and Williamson's work borrow heavily from the Christian lexicon: she refers to God as "he" and speaks often of the Holy Spirit and Jesus. Her take-home message is that we must submit not to our egos, which tell us we are separate from God, but instead surrender to God, of whom we are all a part. While she does refer to all minds being joined and describes the world we know as a dream from which we must awaken, she differs from other New Thought and New Age thinkers by balancing an assumption that the negative things of this world (especially illness and adversity) are illusory with the fact that they feel real to us and that we must take practical steps to overcome them. She recommends embracing love and eschewing fear, arguing that we will encounter a loving world when we stop assuming it is hostile. She says that while we are not responsible for the bad things that happen to us, the universe is always primed to give us a new beginning, if only we can forgive, atone and trust that our loving attitudes and good works make a profound difference.

From AudioFile
In her most articulate lesson yet, the author explains how we can connect with God's love and get in touch with our deeper reactions to what's happening in the world today. Forgiving others and atoning for our negative feelings, we can change our-selves in ways that open the door to becoming who we are meant to be. This trans-formation not only gives us peace, but can lead to thoughts and actions that can make the world a better place. Smoothly abridged and warmly narrated, this recording captures Williamson's philosophical depth and a gentleness not heard as prominently in her other recordings. Overall, this is an intimate and highly instructive addition to her audio catalog that people of all faiths will appreciate.
