In my 30 yrs of school in music, philosophy and art I have never found a more comprehensive and consistent ideology than in "A Course In Miracles". It is the best book I ever read and will ever read. The Metaphysical teachings of Jesus in ACIM, is truly the most remarkable and effective "life-guide" I could ever have imagined to find. Kenneth Wapnick's workbook for ACIM, is the perfect companion to ACIM's teachings. In it, Kenny highlights and ties all of ACIM's 3 books into one comprehensive, mind-blowing understanding. Godspeed... For those who want to leave this illusion of life and wake up in God, One forever...

This set of eight books has Ken's detailed commentary on each lesson. Relevant quotes from the Text are included in the comments, too, making the whole lesson come alive. If you are a Course student and are doing the lessons, you will absolutely love this set. Enjoy!

I did the entire ACIM Workbook on my own over the past year when I frist became an ACIM student, but after seeing Ken Wapnick a few times in person and listening to some of his CD lessons, I decided next time I do the Workbook, I'll do it with his "Journey through the Workbook."

I have to say, even with my expectations high based on other things I've heard and read from Ken, this just totally blew my mind. Each lesson is carefully explained, drawing on excerpts from the Text, Manual for Teachers, and other Workbook lessons, to show how intricately related everything in ACIM is. He also repeats many important points, reminding the student in a gentle, clear manner how difficult many of these ideas are and how much our ego wants to resist them and its ultimate demise that will result if we accept and practice what the lessons teach. Just like the Workbook lessons themselves, Ken's tone comes from a place of compassion and understanding.

I'm only up to lesson 30 now, but I feel this 8 volume set was worth every penny even if I never read another page. My understanding is so greatly enhanced of these early lessons, I eagerly look forward to my next daily dose of truth and wisdom and the inner peace it brings me.

Ken Wapnick's set of analyses of ACIM Workbook Lessons is invaluable for understanding the meaning and purpose behind each of the 365 lessons to a much deeper level. These annotated lessons help you experience the message in each lesson - and our experience is the true purpose/goal of ACIM. "Journey through the Workbook of A Course in Miracles" complements the many other works by Ken Wapnick, all designed to help ACIM students understand, use and experience the Text, Workbook, Manual for Teachers and the Supplements on our journey to remembering Who We are. Highly recommended!

Kenneth Wapnick's thoughts,insights and explanations are must have support reading for all those determined to follow the Course with as much energy and understanding as they can muster.This excellent piece of work is accesible to all who see the beauty of the message and who have resolved to wake up to the imperturability of our divine oneness.

Kenneth Wapnick's "Journey Through the Workbook" is now right up there with ACIM, Wapnick's other books, Dialogue on Awakening, and Gary Renard's books on my favorites list. This superb line-by-line 8-volume review of the Workbook from A Course in Miracles is now featured prominently on my ACIMblog, because it, like all of Wapnick's work, is completely focused on practical ways we can implement kindness, forgiveness and waking up! Highest recommendation!

Words themselves are limiting when reviewing a work of this quality. Dr. Wapnick is the premier teacher of A Course in Miracles and demonstrates, through those limited symbols - words, a gift of both understanding the Course on a profound level and being able to translate that understanding into an experience. Words can easily corrupt and distort, yet Dr. Wapnick demonstrates his experience of the Course rather than merely translating and clarifying its meaning. To the serious student, his work adds to the holographic nature of Jesus' teaching in A Course in Miracles and accelerates the understanding of each lesson, when read with that intent. The workbook will take longer to complete when using the "Journey", however, the time to achieve the goal, forgiveness and atonement, will be shortened. This is the purpose of the "Journey".

This book workbook is an absolute must for anyone starting The Course of Miracles as well for those who have been students of The Course in Miracles for any number of years.

In the light of over a dozen language translations, many have asked when is there going to be a translation in English. These sincere but frustrating requests are asking for an untangling of the poetic forms, the proliferous and confusing pronouns and the use of every day words that have different meaning in the Course e.g. miracles etc. I personally read every volume word for word and hylited in outline form and was transformed. The "Light" has truly came on. These 8 volumes helped me SO much. You also could sample the single volume clarifying the Manual for Teachers if you choose to start off slower. You will see what I mean in reading it that Ken Wapnick has offered, at last, a clarification in easy to read English. It has taught me to say and mean "I love you" to all living things".

As usual Kenneth Wapnick is thorough and conveys a deep understanding of the Course. He conveys the message clearly and writes well. This set of books is for those who want to devote the considerable time it takes to move through the Workbook and practice its concepts. This is the kind of thing that will take me years to complete. Highly recommended for serious students of the Course. It is worth the money.
