Product Description
A Course in Miracles begins...
Nothing real can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists.
Herein lies the peace of God.
As its title implies, the Course is arranged throughout as a teaching device. It consists of three books: Text, Workbook for Students, and Manual for Teachers. The order in which students choose to use the books, and the ways in which they study them, depend on their particular needs and preferences.
The curriculum the Course proposes is carefully conceived and is explained, step by step, at both the theoretical and practical levels. It emphasizes application rather than theory, and experience rather than theology. Although Christian in statement, the Course deals with universal spiritual themes. It emphasizes that it is but one version of the universal curriculum. There are many others, this one differing from them only in form. They all lead to God in the end.
The Text is largely theoretical, and sets forth the concepts on which the Course's thought system is based. Its ideas contain the foundation for the Workbook's lessons. Without the practical application the Workbook provides, the Text would remain largely a series of abstractions which would hardly suffice to bring about the thought reversal at which the Course aims.
The Workbook includes 365 lessons, one for each day of the year. It is not necessary, however, to do the lessons at that tempo, and one might want to remain with a particularly appealing lesson for more than one day. The practical nature of the Workbook is underscored by the introduction to its lessons, which emphasizes experience through application rather than a prior commitment to a spiritual goal:
Some of the ideas the workbook presents you will find hard to believe, and others may seem to be quite startling. This does not matter. You are merely asked to apply the ideas as you are directed to do. You are not asked to judge them at all. You are asked only to use them. It is their use that will give them meaning to you, and will show you that they are true.
Finally, the Manual for Teachers, which is written in question and answer form, provides answers to some of the more likely questions a student might ask. It also includes a clarification of a number of the terms the Course uses, explaining them within the theoretical framework of the Text.
The Course makes no claim to finality, nor are the Workbook lessons intended to bring the student's learning to completion. At the end, the reader is left in the hands of his or her own Internal Teacher, Who will direct all subsequent learning as He sees fit.

 One of the best books on the Planet October 4, 2008
This book is written from Spirit.
The paperback version contains all three books in the Course: Text, Workbook for students, and Manual for teachers.
This work includes the universal concept of Consciousness as the Source of all with an emphasis on Fatherhood(Creator), Brotherhood(everything created), and Holy Spirit(the Voice from God as the Teacher). Its main focuses are on Brotherhood, Forgiveness, experiencing the Present Moment and Spiritual Awakening.
If you are at the highly developed spiritual stage needed to grasp this book, you will be highly rewarded.
If not, you should read it anyway to gain that highly developed spiritual insight, but first you should read Eckhart Tolle's "The Power of Now" The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment and "A New Earth" A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose (Oprah's Book Club, Selection 61) (and anything else written by Tolle) to gain insight into the type of concepts needed to understand what is being taught in the Course.
Make sure that you read the "Text" before or at the same that you do the "Workbook for Students" for a much more in depth understanding of the workbook.
It is the bible of NOW... "New wine in a new vessel"
 great for mental course correction September 18, 2008
Amazing musings and great to pick up and read in small doses to keep your thoughts on a healthy trajectory. Also powerful for longer sittings when your commitment is to transform your relationship to the world,

This book is garbage, a total waste of time and money. There is nothing here of any real substance. It is just more of the current crop of " new age" baloney being touted by celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey.I am an avid book lover and collector, but this one went in the trash can, which is where it belongs.
The most important book of my life. August 30, 2008

I am well educated by modern western standards - I have a masters degree in electrical engineering, and a masters degree in business (MBA)...I am middle-aged so I have had plenty of time to witness life on earth...I was also in the US Navy at an early age...I hope this gives you a context for my review........I have to honestly say, without any reservation, from the bottom of my heart - that this is the single MOST IMPORTANT book - rather EDUCATION - of my entire life...Nothing else comes close....If you are seeking true happiness, inner peace, would like to really internalize "why you are here", this is the best work around....If you want to learn how to deal with your resentment, prejudices, and maybe most-importantly, ego - this book will do it for you. And if you don't think you have any of these issues - perhaps you need this book even more!...This book goes beyond formal religion (which I do not partake in), beyond meditation (which I've practiced for ~30 years), and beyond the Bible (which I've read but didn't really "internalize")....I am about half way through the lessons (this is the part you should focus on - the other parts are optional), and I look forward every morning to reading a new lesson - or internalizing the previous lesson...I like this book so much I am going to give out about 7 copies for the holiday's to family and friends......And for any of you with significant health challenges (like me) - what you learn from this book will help you.....Start with lesson one, practice each lesson, have patients, and before you know it - you will see the light....As far as some of the reviews on here that were not so kind, I will not pass judgment of these folks - but wish them well in there journey to "seeing the light".

Amazing is an understatement. A lantern for a seeker. Letting go of what you think you know. Releasing feelings of guilt, fear, and anger. ACIM on forgivness- "The forgiven world becomes the gate of heaven, because by its mercy we can at last forgive ourselves". ACIM on your true nature-"The abilities you now possess are only shadows of your real strenth. Since you are not certain how to use them you are incapable of knowledge because you can still perceive lovelessly".
