Recovery is an act of faith. An addict is promised healing and self-development through the rigors of counseling, treatment, therapy, and a Twelve Step program. With motivational guidance, addictive behaviors are abandoned, coping skills are learned, and sobriety is lasting. The cycle of addiction is broken by trusting in the process. This is the power of faith: a new way of life.

Co-author Karen Casey, who wrote the bestselling recovery classic Each Day a New Beginning, harnesses this power to transform life's struggles into a devotional outlook. These heartfelt meditations encourage the optimism needed for continuous change. It doesn't matter what we call the goodness we wish to be and see--God or otherwise. It only matters that we hold it in our hearts and affairs as we create a new life. That is the truest definition of a Higher Power.

All women are unique--we all face different joys and struggles. Yet, all women in recovery from addiction to alcohol or other drugs share many common experiences. We also share the purpose of seeking a new, healthier way of life.

The daily meditations in A Woman's Spirit cover vital topics at the heart of any woman's recovery journey, such as taking responsibility, managing expectations, dealing with change, and finding purpose. Spending a few moments each day with Karen Casey's wisdom is sure to bring a sense of peace and belonging to recovering women everywhere.

Some of us are recovering from addiction, trauma, codependency, or a mental health disorder. Others of us are simply looking to slow down our hectic lives and focus on personal growth and self-care. No matter what our reason for seeking wisdom and inspiration, a daily meditation practice can be an invaluable tool for our journey.

This collection of engaging, healing, and practical meditations by trusted recovery authors Karen Casey and Martha Vanceburg reminds us that each day is an opportunity to be fully present and live our best lives. Complete with inspiring quotations from diverse voices and daily lessons on replacing shame and fear with hope and self-love, The Promise of a New Day is the perfect meaningful gift for a loved one or ourselves.

Daily Meditations for Practicing the Course reinforces the key concepts from the book A Course in Miracles(R), the modern spiritual classic that has changed the lives of millions.

Best-selling author Karen Casey's Change Your Mind and Your Life Will Follow has sold over 70,000 copies in hardcover. This edition, with a new preface, carries on the mission of helping us heal through recovery.

Make the right life choice. In Change Your Mind and Your Life Will Follow best-selling author Karen Casey provides two life choices. The first is to fall into despair, become numb, and let fear have its way with us. The second is to open our minds to positive thoughts, to heal ourselves and each other by changing how we respond in every interaction. Change Your Mind and Your Life Will Follow focuses on the latter.

Find positive solutions. Mindset is everything. We cannot change a person. We often cannot change a situation. We can change how we respond. We can learn to use positive words and act out of our hearts rather than react with hurt or anger. When we stop focusing on problems solutions tend to appear.

Happy mind, happy life. If we change how we respond to external stimuli, our mindset follows. Learn how to change your mindset and, echoing Abraham Lincoln, we are just about as happy as we make up our minds to be. Organized around twelve very simple steps, this book gives readers the tools to find a positive, peaceful response to every curveball life throws at us.

Inside learn:

• Happiness is a choice you can make
• You can change your life for the better
• How to follow a path chosen by very successful people

Twenty-four survivors recount their stories of living in a dysfunctional family. It isn't always easy. You can't choose your situation or where you come from, but you can choose the lessons you take away.

Is there a silver lining to growing up in a dysfunctional family?

But what is also apparent in their stories is their eventual and quite triumphant survival, often against extreme odds.

From 24 families rife with dysfunction. Casey interviews the survivors who emerged from the fires of a turbulent household to willingly share their stories and come to realize they had, surprisingly, thrived as the result of their often-harrowing experiences.
