Review Quotes

"True to form, Karen Casey's latest book is gentle, honest, instructive and inspiring. Reading it feels like sitting with her over a cup of tea, absorbing the wisdom drawn from her life experience. I marvel at Karen's ability to convey its truths with her own blend of spiritual understanding and common sense. We would all do well to adopt her "20 Things" as tenets in our own lives - the down-to-earth wisdom and kindness they hold are guaranteed to make every day better." --Debra Landwehr Engle, author of The Only Little Prayer You Need, Let Your Spirit Guides Speak, and Be the Light that You Are

"20 Things I Know for Sure is pure food for the soul. Well-earned life experience fills the pages of this book of wisdom. It's a genuine treasure." -Caroline Myss, author of Anatomy of the Spirit

"Casey (52 Ways to Live the Course in Miracles) shares the wisdom she has gathered over the course of her 40 years of membership in Alcoholics Anonymous in this perceptive exploration of how to create a happy and fulfilled life. In 20 brief chapters, each based on a lesson she has learned, Casey uses her life story and spiritual evolution to illustrate a path for finding happiness. She discusses the importance of valuing relationships and ways of "letting go and letting God," stressing throughout that readers should release the need to be right and embrace new perspectives. Casey believes that there are no mistakes in life: "You will always be where you need to be for the next right thing to happen. This is a truth you can count on." The author also recounts a suspected angelic encounter, when an unexpected visitor showed up as she was contemplating suicide and convinced her not to go through with her plan. This wise offering follows in the footsteps of Each Day a New Beginning, Casey's 1982 classic of addiction literature, and will be a comfort to readers going through a 12-step program." --Publishers Weekly, Reviewed on 06/28/2019

"Here is a book which will lift your Spirit and bring you closer to the Self you were meant to be.

"Once again, Casey delivers a useful framework with which to help one embark on a spiritual journey." -Deborah Bigelow, Library Journal

"Reading the words of Karen Casey is like having a chat with a wise friend. She has lived and practiced everything she writes, so the insights she shares are real and relatable. She walks her talk and that makes her rare and relevant." -Beverly Hutchinson McNeff, founder and president of the Miracle Distribution Center, Anaheim, CA
