4.0 out of 5 stars Great with or without ACIM..., January 21, 2005

This review is from: The Other Voice: A Companion to the Text of The Course Chapters 1-15 (Miracles Studies Book) (Paperback)

Welcome.

If you are familiar with A Course In Miracles it is quite likely you'll find this book to be a very eloquent, accessible, and beautiful reminder of the message within ACIM. In my experience it addresses the underlying theme of ACIM in ways that differ from ACIM (which may mean they will touch you in new ways) whilst doing the topics at hand just as much service and perhaps more as ACIM did.

If you tried to read ACIM and essentially liked it (i.e.. you didn't put it down in total disfavour) but found it inaccessible or hard to get through then I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book. I am quite certain it will bring an element of joy and love into your world.

Now, I trust that many reading these reviews will NOT have read ACIM. Is that you?
If it is... I would say that the value of this book will depend very much on what you are looking for (which is the case with most books right?). So, if you are looking for a book that will provide you with: a gentle, clear, and easy to read reminder of what's True; a wake up call; a loving yet potentially transformative journey into releasing that which is holding you back within your view of the world/life/creation; something you can pick up at any time and read a few pages of to bring yourself back to a place of centred peace and Truth; a spiritual cosmology that is free of much of the "fluff" present in many "New Age" teachings, and free of the dogma of most religious paths... (the list goes on) then again, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK.

Of course if you are firmly rooted into a particular organised spiritual dogma / concept that relies heavily on spiritual rules, regulations, hierarchies, etc then this book may simply piss you off, rub you up the wrong way, and leave you feeling dissatisfied. (Although that may not be such a bad thing... only a closed mind would react in such a way, so perhaps this book will be just the thing to jolt such a mind open)
But hey... perhaps you've come from and through a background story such as this and now wish to let a great deal go... freeing up the necessary "space" within your mind to experience deep, true, and lasting peace?

Whatever the case may be... may Love extend into your world in this moment... and if you buy this book may you enjoy the ride.

If you wish to set yourself free from pain and suffering then this book will play a significant role in your journey into that place within you where your freedom reigns true at all times.

PS. Much of this review is in fact a copy of what I wrote for Journey Beyond Words by the same author. I suggest you check that book out also if this sort of topic is of interest to you. I have used the same review because I realised the same words apply to both books. In my experience there is really very little difference to the two books. They are different facets of the same exploration, and both have their place. You see, one page from any of these books (including ACIM) is really all it takes to get the message... yet if you feel moved to read more than that (for whatever reason) then each book will serve you to that end.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely wonderful!, March 25, 1999

This review is from: The Other Voice: A Companion to the Text of The Course Chapters 1-15 (Miracles Studies Book) (Paperback)

This book is a must for students of The Course in Miracles! Its clarity, its sincerity, its simplicity..... beyond words. I'm so glad I found this book and highly recommend it. If the words of the Course are sometimes confusing, this will certainly make things easier to understand! I can't wait for the next book to come out on the last chapters of the Course.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books relating to A Course In Miracles!, July 13, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Other Voice: A Companion to the Text of The Course Chapters 1-15 (Miracles Studies Book) (Paperback)

Since my studies of "A Course In Miracles" began over 7 years ago, I have waited for a source precisely like the one provided with "The Other Voice - A Companion to The Text Chapters 1-15." Jeshua, the "voice" of A Course in Miracles, has returned to give us clarification to the Text, and what a joyous experience "The Other Voice" will be for any student of A Course In Miracles. Used along with Dr. Haskell's other book, "Journey Beyond Words - A Companion to the Workbook of the Course", students of A Course in Miracles cannot help but rejoice!
