Karen Casey is an accomplished author of dozens of beloved nonfiction works, including 52 Ways to Live the Course in Miracles, Let Go Now, In God’s Care, and A Woman’s Spirit. She started her addiction recovery journey in 1974 and in 1982, she published her first book, Each Day a New Beginning, which instantly became a bestseller in this groundbreaking genre of meditational support for women in recovery. The book sold over 3 million copies and has a dedicated readership spanning over four decades. Karen’s focus as a writer is on the development of spiritual growth and strengthening one's twelve-step recovery. She relies on her personal experience, coupled with the wisdom she gleans from the many brave people she walked among in the rooms of AA and Al-Anon. Currently, Karen spends her time speaking at lectures and workshops, which fosters her commitment to continue doing what brings her life such joy.
“What Karen found in Alcoholics Anonymous, and I found in the Course, was a path to God that wasn’t waylaid by religious dogma.” —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 “Karen Casey is a wise woman, writing more than twenty books based on her own experiences, including her long-time spiritual practices with the 12-steps and A Course in Miracles. Her writing and her speaking have affected millions of lives.” —Jan Johnson, publisher emerita, Conari Press “Karen Casey teaches us how to row our boat (note: not other people’s boats) gently down the stream. When we row gently, we don’t yell who or what must be on the bank around the bend. We peacefully accept what comes and this makes us very merry.” —Hugh Prather, author of Morning Notes and The Little Book of Letting Go “You just can’t go wrong with Karen Casey.” —Earnie Larsen, author of Stage II Recovery: Life Beyond Addiction and From Anger to Forgiveness “With wisdom and encouragement forged in the kiln of personal experience, author Karen Casey’s Each Day a New Beginning offers a daily path to self-compassion, confidence, and contentment that is invaluable to any woman, but especially those whose lives have been touched by addiction.” —Sue Patton Thoele, author of The Courage to Be Yourself, The Woman’s Book of Strength, and How to Stay Upbeat in a Beat Down World “The value of the workbook for Each Day a New Beginning is priceless. This is a great opportunity to deepen one’s understanding not only of themselves but of the world opening up around them. This workbook will definitely help the reader to look deeper into their recovery and help them to examine their path as they take this workbook and their recovery one day at a time, one reading at a time.” —Joan R., Minneapolis, fifty years sober “In another remarkable contribution to recovery literature, Karen Casey offers a highly-effective tool: writing. Her Each Day a New Beginning Workbook, a fabulous companion to her bestselling daily reader, provides effective support and guidance. Perfect for individual or group use, this useful workbook is destined to become a staple in the lives of those who aim to rise above the tide of addiction.” —Nita Sweeney, bestselling author of Depression Hates a Moving Target and Make Every Move a Meditation “Need a fresh start? Read this book—every day! Karen Casey gifts us with the sense of starting anew with each turn of the calendar page. When we open up to the daily quote, tiny teaching, and easy-to-remember mantra, we offer ourselves a fresh outlook and new possibility. What I love the best is that these daily teachings come in bite-sized nuggets—small enough to digest fairly easily, but still with enough thought-provoking goodness to chew on! Casey gives us exactly what we need each day to connect to the people around us, to our spirits, and to new ways of being alive. She helps us navigate the hard stuff, too. Each Day a New Beginning Workbook is filled with gems of wisdom! If you need more peace in your life, this book is for you!” —Sherry Richert Belul, founder of Simply Celebrate and author of Say It Now: 33 Creative Ways to Say I Love You to the Most Important People in Your Life “Karen Casey's Each Day a New Beginning is a classic and timeless book for the woman in recovery from alcoholism. The daily entries provide a helpful resource to one's spiritual toolkit. I thoroughly recommend it to the newcomer in recovery, as well as those with many years of sobriety. This Each Day a New Beginning Workbook will be a daily companion for me and many others in their recovery. Thank you for your love and service, Karen Casey.” —Kim, twelve years sober
