I am not a body. I am free. I am as God created me., April 2 2010

This review is from: A Course In Miracles (Mass Market Paperback)
If freedom from fear, guilt, sin, and death interests you, then you might want to give this book a chance - an open-minded read. A COURSE IN MIRACLES is about the miracle of healing through mind-change. Anybody can do it. Just read the Daily Workbook Lessons and let Jesus lead you Home. Yes, I said Jesus. Jesus dictated the Course. Helen was his scribe. Upon reading this book - if you are a believer in miracles - that's the first one you come to accept. Until you read the book, you won't know what I'm talking about. I you do begin reading what Jesus calls "a required Course," you will be amazed. It's the book you've been looking for all your life. On the other hand, if you need a powerful God who keeps score, judges, and zaps so-called evil-doers, you won't find Him here. The God of this Jesus is a loving, non-judgmental God who wants only one thing for you: Happiness.

A Course in Miracles, Mar 9 2010

Course In Miracles 3rd
I recently purchased 12 or so copies, of this Master-Works for the ladies of the
Utah State prison. They were all very excited and thankful for the books.
Anyone who is on a serious, life changing path, to a new and deeper understanding
of there purpose here on earth, and finds themselves open and willing to hear, learn,and understand new ideas & new understandings in the realm of Spiritual Psychology, This is the book for them. - Yes it is new, and very different from the old and fearful traditional teachings of the Dogmatic Christian Church.
Yes,the Jesus of ACIM is very, very different from the Jesus of the new Testament.
Just one exact example of the difference and new understanding of the two, can be
found in the Bible: Luke - Chapter 23 - Parg. 43: (today 'you' will be with me in
Paradise) - In ACIM, it explains how this account of the Cross, and the two Thieves
is totally WRONG~! - the Jesus of ACIM, came for "All" men & women, and the more
seemingly broken, the more he came for you. He did not come just for one, but ALL.
The Jesus of ACIM, places no blame, sin, fear or guilt, on our many Mistakes~!,
As he gently help us remember who we are, and how to grow in our Love and
Forgiveness towards our fellow Human Beings. Of course this new non-demanding,
non-blaming path to wholeness is going to be quite threating, to anyone who has
been raised to fear a judging god. Love can not be Dualistic~! - its either Full,
Unconditional, All-Encompassing, All-present ONENESS, LIGHT & LOVE or its not?
This new Understanding of Jesus and the Holy Spirit, will take you, where you have
only dreamed of going, 'Back' into the Love of a waiting Father who wants you back in
his arms, just as the Prodigal Sons, father was always waiting for him to return.
p.s. - and Amazon's service has been great, as usual, always shipping within hours
of the order, and delivery on time buy there shippers.
