Kenneth Wapnick (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 1996

The dialogue presents the Course's approach to issues such as food addictions and preoccupation with weight. In a discussion with three students of A Course in Miracles, Kenneth points out the ego dynamics involved, and how forgiveness and the choice to accept the Holy Spirit's purpose of experiencing the peace of God, rather than the ego's purpose of fostering guilt can be applied to the issues raised.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not only for the overweight, November 29, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Overeating: A Dialogue: An Application of the Principles of A Course in Miracles (Paperback)

I have reviewed this book two times previously but for some reason they were not posted. Maybe the third time will be the charm...I think any serious Course student would benefit from reading this book for we all have issues with food though maybe not a weight problem. In addition, the issues raised in this small book are applicable to all addictions, obessesions and problems. And it is still in print and available if you look around.

This review is from: Overeating: A Dialogue: An Application of the Principles of A Course in Miracles (Paperback)

This is a clearly written book which is taken from A COURSE IN MIRACLES and helps you to lose the ego and when this happens you can begin to eat normally and eventually get to a healthy weight, not a weight loss book a life book.

This review is from: Overeating: A Dialogue: An Application of the Principles of A Course in Miracles (Paperback)

This book is not a magic wand that will dispel your addictions, it is merely a discusion which urges you to look honestly upon your addictions. I was severly addicted to smoking (both cigarettes and bongs) and felt really guilty about this. I knew about the negative health effects yet couldnt imagine life without smoking. Once I became honest with myself, looked within and made the choice to heal I was given a Vaporizor. For some reason this vaporizor worked for me and I can still enjoy my tabacco and weed without the negative health effects. For two years I vaporized and now I dont use tobacco or weed anymore. All this is discussed in this book. Chill out, make a choice, stick to it and be patient.
