52 Ways to Live the Course in Miracles: Cultivate a Simpler, Slower, More Love-Filled Life
by Karen Casey 

About the Book

The impact A Course In Miracles (ACIM) has had on Karen Casey’s life is immeasurable. First introduced to ACIM during the early stages of sobriety when she hung on to Alcoholics Anonymous like her life depended on it (and, of course, it did), she yearned for something that could quiet her near constant anxiety. ACIM has done that for her, bringing her a simpler, softer, slower, and more loving life.

“Writing a book of essays about the course, suggesting how one can practice it for personal benefit, is so pleasurable. Every word I write is a constant reminder to me of how to cultivate greater peace in my own life. What could be better than that? Nothing comes to mind, frankly.” –from the introduction

52 Ways to Live the Course In Miracles takes readers on a journey through simple ideas and affirmations for meditation. Casey not only offers an explanation of the ideas, but also shares her own experiences with them—stumbles and all—offering proof of how helpful and practical they really are and showing that the goal isn’t perfection, but rather progress toward creating a life of love and peace.

"Prolific author Casey (Change Your Mind and Your Life Will Follow) is renowned for her inspirational and supportive works, and her latest book is no exception. Enabling readers to transform their perceptions and to experience a greater sense of peace moment by moment, Casey’s lessons impart a principle, an affirmation, and further elaboration for meditation. Advice comes in an array of forms such as ‘Forgiveness is the key to peace” and “Don’t let the past define the present.’ VERDICT: Each entry of this volume supplies motivation and stimulus to make oneself and the world a better place. Well done." —Library Journal, Sept. 15, 2016
