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.

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.

Amazing experience to listen

The author reads with such clarity and liveliness that the whole story comes alive as it unfolds. I feel like I know Bill and the whole gang. Just regular people experiencing miracles.

Inspiring story of Bills Journey

This Audible was fascinating to listen too. I felt at times I was right there with Bill in his journey to God. True course practice. It helped me see how important it is to continue to BE with God and ask for continued guidance. A must read if your a practitioner of the Course.

Have been waiting for this❤️

I’ve read Carol’s book and it is a wonderful, personal story of Bill’s life, but it’s also a story of the Course in action in one’s life. I do a lot of driving these days (since COVID) and love audiobooks. I’ve been checking almost weekly for this one to come out. Carol is a wonderful narrator. It’s like sitting with a good friend and listening to a story.
Thank you Carol.

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 🙏🏽

An incredible life

I have been studying ACIM, in my own way, for years now, but until now, I did not know much about the scribes. The story of Bill Thetford is exactly what one would expect from the man who was chosen to co-scribe what I, and many, deem to be the most direct road to salvation.
What an inspiration. Bill’s story has touched my soul, and makes me want to do the work necessary to transcend. Thank you Carol!

Lovely

Thank you Carol & thank you Bill. For a long time I have felt drawn to Bill but never found out anything more about his life. Now I understand a little more about why I felt this connection. Carols writing and reading of the book is heart warming.

STELLAR WORK!

This audiobook and its narration are like an insider's view, like a companion of the Course;,which to me is like a love letter. I cried at the end for the beauty of Bill's Independence Day! The symbolism of his actual cause of death as well as the fireworks. were so true to his propensity for theater and humor and yet still in line with his only remaining purpose. I feel such a love and kinship with him ! It's an honor to follow in his footsteps in applying these lessons, and it's an honor to have Carol Howe so lovingly compile this material so that we might have a deeper appreciation for the co scribe of this unfathomably valuable work we call ACIM. I know I sure do! Thank you, Carol♡
