“Wherever our mind projects another as separate from ourselves, there is fear. And while the opposite of fear is love, love has no opposite. Herein lies the peace that passeth all understanding. Miranda speaks to the heart of this timeless truth in her book, The Way of Grace, where ‘grace’ is just another word for ‘love.’ She speaks eloquently that grace, like love, is always present. We just need to get out of its way so that love can truly blossom within ourselves and in our daily life, actions, and relationships. Reading her book is like going on retreat with Miranda and recovering what is always waiting patiently within ourselves: indestructible love and well-being as solid ground from which we can meet, face, overcome, and be transformed by every adversity and circumstance we’ll ever face during our lifetime. Miranda languages the timeless truths of grace and love that we all can benefit from hearing, time and again, so that we can ever more fully lean into and bring forward in our lives and relationships.” —Richard Miller, PhD, author of iRest Meditation: Restorative Practices for Health, Resiliency, and Well-Being
 
“Grace is what one is always seeking. For no matter the activity or concern, it is only by a gift of grace that the ultimate luminous reality opens to us. The beautiful ambition of an awakened being is to awaken others. Miranda is such a being, and this precious book is an expression of her grace-bestowing nature.” —Raz Ingrasci, chairman and teacher, Hoffman Institute International
