Critic reviews

" Living A Course in Miracles is a wonderful guide to both understanding and behavior, with light in our minds and love in our hearts." (Marianne Williamson, author of A Return to Love)

Worth the credit...(on content alone)

Most books further describing 'A Course in Miracles' are worth listening to and this one is no exception. It is very obvious that Jon is knowledgeable on his material and a great student of the Course. He clarified many questions I had and raised some more which makes me want to study more. Good teaching!

The content is awesome and VERY thought provoking, and I stress these two things heavily, however the narration made for a struggle to complete the book. I would love to hear it again but don't think I could do it unless someone else did the reading. (Be sure to listen to the sample to see if you could take several hours of it.)

An excellent introduction to The Course

In my opinion, this rivals Marianne Williamson's books as an excellent introduction to the Course's teachings. It's one of the few audiobooks I listen to repeatedly. I'll often just pick a chapter at random to listen to as I'm running errands through the week. It's amazing that, no matter which chapter I pick, I always hear something I missed before or I'm able to use in a new way. It's a purchase you won't regret!!

Live YOUR Life with Intention and Purpose

What made the experience of listening to Living a Course in Miracles the most enjoyable?

Jon Mundy, really puts the Course of Miracles in a working mantra for everyone. I am truly convinced that if this mode was taught in the public school systems in the U.S., that we would have a much better country to live in....A Course in Miracles should be mandatory at all educational institutions.

What did you like best about this story?

The story behind the story....the examples which helped clarify his statements and the course of miracles.

Get this book if you have ever been interested in the Course. It will help set you up for your own discovery of the course.

Really excellent content, cleared up a lot !

I love the book. The narration was not my favorite. Very dull voice and monotone made it hard to hear. I stuck with it because the content was AMAZINGLy good, clear and enjoyable!

Awesome book!!! Must get!!

I loved this book!! I wasn't sure I could get used to his monotone voice but it ended up having a mesmerizing effect. The content of his message is not like any other explanation. I think this audio is my favorite. You will also want to buy it in book form. I've made tons of notes!!

Why do Authors think they are narrators!?!

Would you listen to Living a Course in Miracles again? Why?

Yes for the content, the voice is agony

What other book might you compare Living a Course in Miracles to and why?

A course of course :)

Would you be willing to try another one of Jon Mundy Ph.D.’s performances?

Absolutely not. The books content is excellent, but the monotone voice of Ben Stien is torture!!

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Quite a few, but only in substance, the voice moved me to stop listening periodically!

Any additional comments?

Please! Don't ever narrate any of your own books again! A good author DOES NOT make a good narrator. Hire a professional I beg of you!

Content is a 5 - but performance is flatline

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes - content is outstanding

What didn’t you like about Jon Mundy Ph.D.’s performance?

Mr. Mundy is extremely gifted - but reading his own book out loud is not one of his strengths. The content is so vibrant and rich, but the flat line monotone performance will be a huge impediment for many of the listeners who would benefit the most!

Absolutely Beautiful

This helped me deepen my understanding for A Course In Miracles, done beautifully! This is a life guide.

This is my very favourite audio book ever!

I just LOVE this book! I listen to it pretty much every day and it fills me with wisdom and release.



I love it when the author reads their own book and in this case Jon Mundy has the loveliest most soothing wonderful gorgeous voice.



This is such a joy, this book/recording always gives me the answer that I need in any given moment. I love how Jon so beautifully weaves real life stories of his own and others experiences in awakening as well as the great examples of the enlightened masters and spiritual teachers of our time and of history.



For me this just has it all!



If you want to know the truth, it you want to get relief from the nagging monkey mind and return to the freedom and peace that you already are - you will love this audio book.



Thank you for a magnificent piece of work. I'm on my fourth round of listening!

Life changeing

I had been finding course in Miracles very difficult to understand. But this book explained, and spoke to me. I had been through a difficult time finding peace in my life. Now I understand that it was only there for the taking. I am closer to God and understand my relationship with Him, having read this book.

so grateful to receive these wise words....

Very rarely indeed a book comes into our lives every word of which resonates deeply and offers a lucid clarification to assist our personal pilgrimage. Even with no prior awareness of the book "a course in miracles" Mundys book is recommended for its spiritual guidence.

Amazing Audio book!!!

I've listened to every Miracles in Manhattan that Jon has put on YouTube, and I wasn't expecting much to be new here. Boy, was I wrong. Jon has an amazing way of seeing the truth and innocence in every religion and human circumstance. A must have for any ACIM student. 10/10

Made simple, to simplify our life’s work.

I had never the full version, but to my busy life this audio found its place. And a very deep place indeed.
The reader was clear and to my French mother tongue, the pace this book was read out, was perfect.
The content is changing my life, with daily witnessing of where I am at, and where I must head too. To meet kindness for the self, therefore for others, my life becomes one giant step to let God in, and ego out.

Life Changing

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I want all my best friends, my children and anyone else l love to read this

What was one of the most memorable moments of Living a Course in Miracles?

Chapter 12 is so packed with wisdom and comforting words.

What does Jon Mundy Ph.D. bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

Sincerity! Because Jon Mundy is reading his own work, he can do so convincingly, not allowing the listener to doubt a word

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

The book just spoke to me and I know it will comfort anyone who is just living life and enduring ups and downs

Any additional comments?

I have never before admitted that a book could change my life but that is exactly what Living a Course in Miracles has done for me. Whether Jon Mundy is declaring a profound statement or simply describing the difference between 'coming to' and 'waking' in the morning as a result of sobriety, he does it so convincingly. Thank you Jon and I look forward to your next audio edition!

fabulous book would definitely recommend

really enjoyed this book. feel like I've learned new things. definitely recommend. I will definitely listen to this again

Loved the narration and text!

Excellent narration.. Loved this book and immediately looked for more by this author. Wonderful to listen to to drift off to sleep but don't want to miss a single word so often had to go back the next night. Great job! Congratulations

Extremely enjoyable and thought provoking

The tone of the reader is mono tone, this took a little while for me to settle, as time progressed this was a benefit as in no part did I feel Jon put emphasis on any particular element, this left my mind to find it's only balance once I was in tune.

Studying ACIM is tough for many, me too, yet this book by Jon Mundy was extremely helpful as to put into context how I now understand the lessons of ACIM, this book provides insights into how I perceive my own perception of life events, Jon makes sense of our understanding of self, shares thoughts on Ego, The book contains insights into how we can keep our separation from the greater good of life and how we can benefit, to live as one with the love of God.
