Grace: A powerful story about discovering your purpose and finding true happiness.
Every now and again a book is written that has the potential to change your world. ‘Grace’ is such a book.
Grace was exhausted and unhappy with her life; disconnected from her family, friends, work and herself, but she couldn’t understand why. Deep in her heart she longed for something else...
A seemingly chance encounter with a mysterious old lady takes Grace on an extraordinary adventure; she comes alive on a journey of self-discovery and finds that her life has meaning and purpose.
Chapter by chapter, the book blends ancient truth and science and teaches each of us how to harness the power of our Universe to create a happy and fulfilled life.
This compelling story is told in the most heart-warming, fun and creative way. Held within each page is the power to shatter outdated thinking about how life works, how we influence it, and why we are here. And most of all, Grace presents a sequence of simple, yet powerful, philosophies that will reveal to you the possibility of discovering your own unique purpose and connect you to the infinite source of love, happiness and fulfilment.
Grace is a gift that when understood and applied, will change your life forever.
Extract from Grace – ‘In the Beginning’
"There is a power that can reveal hidden veins of riches and uncover treasures that we can only dream of. There is a force that we can call on for a fulfilled and happy life of abundance. Our great saints and the sages of India knew of it. Great leaders have known of it, as have many who have achieved great things. They have all demonstrated this true principle. And Grace it can work for you too.’
The old lady continued. ‘Your success in life does not altogether depend on your ability or skills. More often it depends on your ability to grasp opportunities presented to you, including the knowledge of this creative power which I am now sharing with you.
Opportunities in life come by Creation, not by chance. Nothing happens by accident. Everything is connected. You yourself, either now or in the past, have created the opportunities in your life. But, like most people, you may not be aware of it.
Creation is not a new concept. It goes way back to the beginning of time.‘I’m not telling you anything new, Grace. There are literally hundreds of references to this idea in the world’s great holy and scientific books. All things are created out of nothing. No – thing.
For, whatever we think and feel, the creative spirit of life is bound to faithfully manifest and so does Creation begin.’

Läuft wohl auf 3,5 hinaus. Manches fand ich wirklich schön und inspirierend, aber manchmal war es mir auch einfach eine Spur zu sehr "drüber"...

Possibly fans of Paulo Coelho might like this, but like his books, the thin veneer of 'story' over a 'deep and meaningful' message left me a little cold. I did warm to Grace a little more than the dire Manuscript Found in Accra, and the message is at its core not awful: happiness is within you, blah blah. But the cod mysticism left me cold, and the writing style is a little simplistic.

I loved this book!
I've had moments throughout my life at which I truly felt at one with the universe. I've both "forgotten" them and, at the same time longed for them. I'd just finished the chapter on "letting go" last night. I had a very painful dream full of pain and frustration. When I woke up this morning I was so glad that had been a dream and not my "real life" . Now that I've finished the book, I realize that the dream embodied the act of letting go of a painful and shaming past. I" my dream included painful hives that turned into large and disfiguring weeping blisters. In the dream, I kept letting people down and no matter how hard I tried, I could not "get it right". I am going to keep the message in my heart. Right now I feel as though I can do anything.

Simple, easy to read book, beautifully written as a story which is full of wisdom. Thank you Christine McGrory - I enjoyed reading this.

A really original take on a self help book (for me at least) where the message is conveyed as a third person story. I was sceptical due to the ties with religion as I am not conventionally religious however I really enjoyed this and since I have started using this mindset, the world of possibilities have really opened up to me and I feel a lot more relaxed.

Beautifully written. I loved the combination of old knowledge/wisdom, science and religion. A great book which reminds one how to find the best in life every day. Very relatable characters.
