Many of you will pick up this book because you know Bill Thetford by reputation or as a co-scribe of A Course In Miracles. Others may find it simply because you are meant to do so. Because of her close personal relationship with Bill during his years in California, and her clear and eloquent voice, we know of no better person to offer insight into Bill’s life than our good friend Carol Howe...[more]

Preface
In a few short years all who knew Bill Thetford personally will have exited the world stage. It would be unconscionable for this first generation of A Course In Miracles students, those who were Bill's friends, to leave without recording our collective witnessing of his transformation.¹ Humanity expends much time and treasure seeking any scrap of information about the teachers, philosophers, and avatars who have gone before, lighting the path for us throughout...[more]
In the past I have steered away from biographies . . . (considering them to be very dramatic/sensationalist), but NFTL proved all that wrong! It was such a joy to read of "flexi-Bill's life. I even felt like I was in California! And I cried for joy at his "moving on" and his state of Atonement. What a wonder-filled book. I will highly recommend it to others. . .
