A cross between an index and poetry, A Course in Miracles is illustrated, summarized and defined.
Who is your brother? Anyone and everyone within the sphere of your day: whoever you may come across. That's the challenge presented in A Course in Miracles (ACIM): to treat everyone as a brother with forgiveness, cooperation and empathy. The unique thing about ACIM is that it tells you how.
Paperback, illustrated with original B&W photographs.
The question, “How?” drove Professor Helen Schucman to spend seven years channeling A Course in Miracles. This book is a way in. Chapter by chapter, a theme or quote from each page summarizes the 600-page ACIM text. It makes an easy reference and provides discussion points. Original photography by the editor illustrates messages in the text.
The ACIM text was channeled by Columbia University Professor Helen Schucman and recorded by Professor William Thetford. It took them seven years. The channeled entity is Jesus Christ and the subject matter is the desires of God the Father-Creator with the Holy Spirit as teacher and guide. Every one of us is considered to be a son of God. The perception of a gap between our self and our brother is the problem that ACIM addresses. In spite of ego, fear and a tendency to attack one another, we are able to find within ourselves the love and light required to make the decision to create, to share and to heal. The miracle that closes the gap between us is forgiveness. We just need a little faith, and God does the rest.
Review
“I had been hoping to read A Course In Miracles for many years – however each time I approached the book – seeing the size and magnitude of the book itself made the task seem daunting and overwhelming. This is why I was so excited about coming across Merridy Cox’s Themes from a Course in Miracles book. It takes the daunting and makes it manageable and also inviting. The themes and pages are so well written that they get to the core of what the Course In Miracles is all about in a condensed, clear, concise way. The photographs that are included also add so much richness to the content and offer opportunities for additional reflection. I highly recommend this book. In an era where we are all looking to fast track and get to the point, this book does just that with the Course in Miracles material. Well worth the read and easily lends it self to re-read time and time again.”
