"“Each Day a New Beginning was first published in the early 1980s, the same period when I began giving lectures on A Course in Miracles. Those were days when spiritual seeking outside the confines of institutional religion was somewhat unique, even exotic. What Karen found in Alcoholics Anonymous, and I found in the Course, was a path to God that wasn’t waylaid by religious dogma....What grew from Karen’s hunger to know God was a compilation of thoughts and reflections that became this book, a publishing wonder that has touched the lives of millions. In a world of falsehood it’s a friendly reminder of what’s deeply true. You can’t read it in the morning and not be prepared for a better day."" —Marianne Williamson, NYT bestselling author of A Return to Love ""Casey’s voice is thoughtful and accessible. Readers with a belief in the power of God will be most amenable to her recommendations for a simpler, more rewarding life."" —Publishers Weekly ""Each Day a New Beginning is a super book! I have read it cover to cover! A woman with an alcohol or drug problem has a special problem. I think [Karen's] book will be most helpful in coping with the special needs of women in recovery."" —Betty Ford, former First Lady and founder of The Betty Ford Center ""This book is small, is easy to digest, and would likely be taken from the display shelf by someone needing a psychological boost."" —Deborah Bigelow, Library Journal “These simple steps can lead to a peaceful and meaningful life. Casey’s self-help book is a winner!"" —Frederick Brussat, spiritualityandpractice.com “This book is a must-read for anyone who cares about the quality of their thoughts and how being aware of them can bring positive change."" —Mary Porter, Science of Mind"
