We are all the prisoners of our perception. "Living in Grace: The Shift to Spiritual Perception" is a profound, practical, thought-provoking and complete guide to shifting the perceptions that stop us from realizing the relationships, the love, the work and the joy we desire in our lives.Chapter by chapter, the reader is taken on an inner journey that encourages her to achieve her goals, and in so doing, lead a spiritual life. The 7 Keys to Grace and an eight step-by-step system based on the word GRACIOUS, along with worksheets, help the reader break out of prison into Heaven on Earth. This is not a book you would read once and toss aside, never to see the light of day again. No, this is one of those keepers that you'll read over and over. Not because you couldn't grasp the steps but because you could. Ms. Lewis takes us on our own inner journey sharing her wisdom that she's been living and sharing with others for over 26 years. She teaches us about how we perceive our reality and how it magnifies our experience. The more we focus, the more power we give it and make it our reality. Changing the way we look at things, situations, people, etc. changes our life as we shift our perception. Through 'Living in Grace' we learn the seven keys to Grace while incorporating the eight guidelines she calls GRACIOUS to shift our perception. The book is sectioned into three parts, which outline the guidelines, examples and worksheets to help you change your perception, hence your reality and life. Ms. Lewis also shares some of her own personal experiences and has been guiding The Shift(R) Principles in classes and seminars to help others understand too. She shines light on how our perceptions can be transformed to live the kind of life we desire. We understand the magic behind the curtain. Along with a good dosage of quotes throughout the book, Ms. Lewis also includes familiar quotes from the Bible that puts a whole new perspective on them, giving you pause for ponder and wonder. Through her conversational style of writing and non-preachy attitude, her book is rather like a good, trusting friend whose always there to lend a helping hand. 'Living in Grace' will help you discover why you are here and make that spiritual connection to shifting your perception and applying it to your own life. When you begin to use her principles you'll see the results of living in a state of grace each new day. The worksheets allow you to recognize your own growth and how these steps genuinely do work. I highly recommend this book and give it a top rating of 10. Writing this book is a culmination of having people ask me for advice based on my point of view, throughout my life.  This point of view came with me but has been refined through thought—reading every book about God and spirituality and philosophy that I could lay my hands on and my driven, deep need to search for Truth—which finally led me to the foundation from which this book is written. It was also the urging of friends that prompted me to solidify what I talked about and to begin to offer a class called The Shift™, and it was friends who then said, "Please write this down in a book." Perception produces reality - what we perceive to be reality magnifies. This book is about perception and how to shift that perception to Living in Grace. This Shift of Perception will demonstrate the Truth that we are living in Grace now. There has never been a single moment that we have not or will not be living in Grace. But in this place I will call the "Earth state of mind" there appear to be paths that we must walk to remember that we live in the state of Grace. On these paths we search for meaning, power and reasons for our existence. Most people on Earth walk the "material path." On this path the Earth, the universe, and everything we are and do is material. In the material world, physical power reigns. Some of us have "upgraded" to the "mental path" of believing it is a mental world, and everything is within and of our own thinking. We use mind-power to accomplish our goals and live a better life. In this point of view the mind-body connection comes into play. We begin to say, "I can do it! All I have to do is visualize enough, get my mind and thinking straight." Mind-power employs methods such as visualization and hypnotism to accomplish its goals. This mental path will sometimes diverge into another path, the path of mysticism. The world today is fascinated by this mental or mystical power and is calling it the Spiritual revolution. Talk of God is accepted, and is now found in all walks of life. It is an improved point of view over the physical standpoint, but it is not the path where this book will take you. There is one more path and it is the path of One Mind, that path of non-power, the true Spiritual path. This is The Shift to being completely conscious that all that we are, know, and see is in truth Spiritual. This is Living in Grace. We're the prisoners of our perception.
