About this listen

The Power of Love is an award-winning memoir of a soul's quest. Dr. Fran Grace, a professor of religion, narrates her life journey and describes her personal encounters with some of the century's most memorable spiritual figures.

At age 15, the author had a mystical experience that nearly shattered her. She joined a fundamentalist sect and served it until age 33 when an unexpected love affair forced her to leave the church. Though she enjoyed success in her academic career, she suffered an existential vacuum. At 39 she encountered her spiritual teacher, Dr. David R. Hawkins, who opened her heart. She moved to be near him and worked with him closely on various projects such as his Letting Go book, and she stayed with him until his death in 2012. Heartbroken from his passing, she went on a journey to learn more about the power of love. She spent time with 18 renowned spiritual leaders, scientists, activists, and artists, all of whom had been selected and verified with help from Dr. Hawkins before he passed away.

Fran Grace’s personal narrative is pulsed by her encounters with these teachers, each of whom has a chapter that includes a brief biography, excerpts from their dialogue with the author, and how they helped her to overcome struggles with health, grief, addiction, spiritual ego, sexuality, relationship difficulties, phobias, despair, a parent’s dementia, and seeing her "enemies" through the eyes of compassion. The audiobook narrative is read by the author and also provides a treasure trove of dialogues between the author and the great teachers she interviewed. The audio recording of a teacher's voice is either their own or that of someone affiliated with the path they teach.

Full list of authors includes Father Pavlos.

A very good books from a student of David Hawkins who goes on to interview many others spiritual teachers and people who calibrated highly by David Hawkins… which gives a very good and unanimous message that we are truly Love and are here to realize that through Love.

Excellent book that brings together the main message of Love from many validated spiritual teachers.

I really did not know what I was getting into when I began this book. The writer was a student of Dr. Hawkins, so I was interested.

It turns out this book really just came to me at the right time, when I was struggling with the lessons from A Course in Miracles, where it talks about unconditionally loving the people around you. Hearing the different stories from the interviewed people in this book, and of course from Fran herself, really touched something inside me and I don't really feel the same as before. It changed me for the better.

I've looked up some books written by the interviewed people and I'll listen to them next. Thank you, Fran, for putting your time and efforts into this book. I didn't mind reading about your 'failures' along the way. I think everybody has plenty of those to share.

LOVEd it

Truly Wonderful

A lot of wisdom in these pages. Stories of exceptional journeys through religion to mysticism and lives dedicated to love, the ultimate truth. A sub-plot is a tribute to Dr David R Hawkins, the author’s ‘teacher’. Looking forward to a second read.

A massive piece of work
