An Inspiring Life

I was surprised at how this book seemed to go so quickly and that a biography could be so interesting. Upon completing this life story I feel that transformation is possible for all of us. From a rather poor childhood with severe illness we travel with Bill as he becomes a successful professional. These early life experiences create the foundation for his future. Eventually, he connects with Helen to create A Course in Miracles.

Carol provides numerous examples from various sources of how Bill’s presence enlightened others. He demonstrated LOVE and JOY because he devoted his life to the practice of forgiveness.

Carlos’s narration is so soothing. I also enjoy her podcast where she reads the workbook lessons.

Had to lower the speed of narration

Once I did, the story became alive in Carol's voice. Once or two she briefly moved away from the text and went on as if she was having a conversation with the listener. I know because I was following the narration along with the Kindle version of the book. The chuckles and emotion in her voice, clearly remembering the moments she was reading about, makes the story become personal. By the end of the book I would've loved to meet Bill in person and I thanked him in my heart for his part on bringing ACIM to life. I also thank Carol for the love she put into this project 🙏🏽

Must read...

For any ACIM this book is a must read. If you ever wondered what would a person deeply affected by the course be like then this is the right book. It's the ultimate case study of ACIM.
The narration by Carol Howe is filled with genuine emotion as she's personally acquainted to scribe himself but never putting aside the respectful and considerate tone when parallels are created between Bill's life episodes and the course.
Having read several books related to the course this one I would strongly suggest to anyone who's starting or already advanced.

a godsend

A resonant and heart filled telling of the life of Bill Thedford. This has filled some essential gaps in my understanding of ACIM roots. Thank you Carole. I hope one day I will tell you in person how pivotal and timely this book was for me at this moment. all as it should be!

Carol is marvelous narration

What a wonderful enhancement to A Course in miracles. I love A Course in miracles and this is a beautiful accompaniment,
