About this listen
The Now-this moment-is the true source of happiness and peace and the key to living a fulfilled and meaningful life. Embracing the Now by Gina Lake is a collection of short essays about the Now that can serve as daily reminders of the deepest truths. Full of clear insight and wisdom, it explains how the mind keeps us from being in the Now, how to move into the Now and stay there, and what living from the Now is like. It also explains how to overcome stumbling blocks to being in the Now, such as fears, doubts, judgments, misunderstandings, distrust of life, desires, and other conditioned ideas that are behind human suffering.

Story
In this channeled book, Jesus speaks to us from another dimension to awaken Christ consciousness within us. Christ consciousness refers to enlightenment or the realization of our oneness with all and our inherent divinity, exemplified by Jesus Christ. Jesus lived what he taught, and he taught from a higher consciousness, one free of ego. Jesus was an example of what we all can be, a model of what is possible for every human being, and the messages in this book teach us how we can become more Christ-like and live as he did.

From the introduction, by Jesus, "What I have come to teach now is that you can embody love, as I did. You can become Christ within this human life and learn to embody all that is good within you. I came to show you the beauty of your own soul and what is possible as a human. I came to show you that it is possible to be both human and divine, to be love incarnate. You are equally both. You walk with one foot in the world of form and another in the formless.

Excellent
Would you consider the audio edition of Embracing the Now to be better than the print version?
Gina Lake and Eckhart Tolle are two of the most relevant authors today on the subject of consciousness and being present in the Now. Another great recommendation is a book by Michel Leroux called "Revolution of the Heart". I hope Audible offers this hard cover book in audio form soon. http://www.amazon.com/Revolution-Heart-Michel-Leroux/dp/1483601463

Had this been submitted to me to satisfy
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
a college level term paper requirement, I would have failed her. It is painfully repetitive, lacking innovation or fresh perspective. The material and standard could not have been any more transparent in the great body of work by Eckart Tolle. She credits him of course, then proceeds to restate his work: Quite astonishing.
Would you recommend Embracing the Now to your friends? Why or why not?
no
What aspect of Toni Orans’s performance would you have changed?

Was Embracing the Now worth the listening time?
