Gifts from A Course in Miracles [Mass Market Paperback]

Frances Vaughan (Editor), Roger Walsh (Editor), Marianne Williamson (Foreword)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 24, 1995

The philosophical depth, psychological insight, and spiritual guidance of A Course in Miracles have been an extraordinary treasure of wisdom for millions of readers worldwide since its original publication in 1976. The reason for its popularity is simple: It deals directly with the root causes of human suffering and proposes the means through which we can return to our natural state of wholeness and peace.

This volume, beautifully illustrated with more than 125 photographs by award-winning photographer Jane English, brings together the most evocative and inspirational selections from the Course and contains the entire texts of three previously published books, Accept this Gift, A Gift of Healing, and A Gift of Peace. Exceptionally poetic and moving, these succinct, powerful passages readily stand by themselves as potent capsules of profound inner wisdom, and as tools for our hearts and minds in the wider world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful., March 28, 1999

This review is from: Gifts from A Course in Miracles (Mass Market Paperback)

I'm not a serious student of ACIM, but have a passing familiarity from the books and tapes of Marianne Williamson and others. This volume, which I found purely by accident (are there accidents?), is a beautiful collection of quotes from the course. Reading it serially, or picking it up and opening to any page leaves one with a true sense of peace. I would absolutely recommend it for those who find the full text of the Course too much to take on.

I found the Course to be too dense. This, however, is just right. It has all the essential truth in a much easier to digest form.

Thank You Marianne and company,

Daniel

Many students of A Course In Miracles have difficulty getting into the material because of the style in which it is written. Gifts From A Course In Miracles puts the text into a format that makes it easy to understand and digest.
