Synopsis

In this comprehensive biography, many firsthand accounts chronicle the life and spiritual journey of Bill Thetford. As a brilliant and accomplished psychologist, he became one of the world's foremost authorities on how the ego develops, then served as a conduit for A Course in Miracles, which provides a way to dissolve that ego. Bill's own path to awakening provides a timeless guide to successfully releasing conflict and grievances, replacing them with grace, joy, and peace of mind. From the Foreword by Gerald Jampolsky, M.D. and Diane Cirincione, Ph.D.: This book is not simply a biography, but a body of work that integrates the facts of Bill's life with Course teachings and the personal reflections of more than thirty friends in a way that creates a unique and meaningful experience for the reader. . . . After reading this book, we found it hard to imagine incorporating so many details about Bill into one document. Carol has accurately expressed the impressions and impact that Bill had on the many of us who loved and appreciated him so deeply. In many ways, it is a love story about Bill and his many friends, from comfortable close associates to casual acquaintances, whose insights and experiences with him are included throughout. It s also a love story about Bill and the Course and, finally, about Bill and God.

Review

In Never Forget to Laugh, Carol Howe does a superb job in communicating the growth and mastery of forgiveness that took place during the life of Bill Thetford, one of the two scribes of A Course in MIracles. If the people of the world need anything, they need a great example like Bill's to follow. This book brings that shining example to life for all of us. --Gary Renard, author of Disappearance of the Universe

In our lives, the two books that have affected us most powerfully are, first, A Course In Miracles and, second, Never Forget To Laugh--a book that is meticulously researched, deeply intuitive, surprisingly informative, honest, entertaining, and funny. Far more important, it has an accompanying spirit so deeply affecting that we have tried and failed to find words to describe it. --Hugh and Gayle Prather, authors of Morning Notes and The Little Book of Letting Go
