Williamson reveals how we each can become a miracle worker by accepting God and by the expression of love in our daily lives. Whether psychic pain is in the area of relationships, career, or health, she shows us how love is a potent force, the key to inner peace, and how by practicing love we can make our own lives more fulfilling while creating a more peaceful and loving world for our children.

"I've had numbers people tell me to read this book over the course of the past 2 years and I finally decided to get the audiobook because it actually saved me time. I am always in my car or in an office and I find that the little time I do have I spend it doing chores and cooking food. It just seems like I have less and less time to read a good book as the years go by which is unfortunate because I love burying my face in books. This author's voice is very easy to listen to and follow. I did not find myself dozing off or tuning out. Because the chapters are fairly short, it was easy to absorb. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and the subject matter. Really inspired me!"
