A Course in Miracles: Combined Volume: Amazon.ca: Foundation for Inner Peace: Books

Product Description

From Amazon

When Helen Schucman, a professor of medical psychology at Columbia University, began hearing an inner voice of rapid dictation (which she eventually identified as the voice of Jesus), she decided to start taking shorthand notes. Then, with the support and encouragement of a colleague, Schucman continued to assemble the teachings that came to her. The result is A Course in Miracles, a book that has spawned hundreds of study groups and an international following. Although some may find the teachings simplistic ("To heal is to make happy"), many are struck by the predominately compassionate and eloquent passages of this Christian-based interpretation of the Bible ("Whenever you deny a blessing to a brother you will feel deprived, because denial is as total as love"). Indeed, many of the teachings carry weight and certainly merit the acclaim and attention that this book has generated. --Gail Hudson --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Beautiful Miracle, Feb 28 2005

This review is from: A Course in Miracles: Combined Volume (Paperback)

One of the few books that ever made me cry with joy. Beautiful, powerful, it is my favourite book and one that I am grateful to have found. The language in this book is extremely rich, and although the teaching can apply to anyone, the book itself can be intimidating or confusing for some. For myself, who has been seeking the kinds of answers and loving image of God that I couldn't get from my traditional Christian upbringing, this book changed my life. It is a book of profound love, peace, and wisdom without equal. Like many sophisticated spiritual texts, it can be easy to misinterpret or misunderstand some of the Course's principal ideas so I recommend reading the commentaries published in Kenneth Wapnick's books for further clarity (especially his "Most Common Questions About A Course In Miracles"). I wish you all well on your spiritual journey.

5.0 out of 5 stars The proof is in the pudding, Nov 23 2003

By

Sandalwood "Go Within or go without." (Wiarton, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Course in Miracles: Combined Volume (Paperback)

I wish I had been able to find guidance like this when I was going through the rough years of my life from ages 10 to 40.I was in ego mode whose motto always remains, "Seek but do not find." So I never found much real inner peace.

Now I am seriously doing the lessons and reading the text as well as listening to tapes by Robert Perry,Allen Watson and Kenneth Wapnick. Inner peace is coming. This book is truly a profound love letter from Jesus and God to us."...teach only love, for that is what you are"
The book says that all scriptures that portray God as punitive and vengeful misrepresent the gospel of good news that Jesus intended:" ...this is not the gospel I intended."
The ego wants to keep us hooked on sin,guilt,fear and death and imprisoned in our body with its illusions of separateness and specialness...with its severe and painful limitations and pathetic littleness.

Jesus says in the Course that we are unlimited spirits who have never really left Heaven(perfect awareness of Oneness)but remain totally loved and loving,completely healed and whole.We are one with God and each other and completely invulnerable.If we but ask the Holy Spirit to lead us our world will become in time a most beautiful experience...as we learn to awaken and experience ourselves and all others as holy sons/daughters of God." I am still as God created me..."

We will come to see others' actions as either expressing love OR crying out for love.In either case we will choose to bless rather than judge and condemn everyone we meet or think about.

If you now lack perfect peace and joy or do not feel a certainty of purpose then A Course in Miracles can do miracles for you.

You ego will fight your learning because the Course is designed to put our childishly egocentric egos out of business thus clear our path so we can feel genuine union with everyone and real love for ourselves and God. It works.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good stuff, May 29 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: A Course in Miracles: Combined Volume (Paperback)

This book has served as a catalyst for a growing number enlightened writers, who have extracted the intense and sometimes impenetrable 'raw fodder' of wisdom contained in the book, and expressed it in a more manageable, commercial form. (i.e. the likes of Neale Donald Walsch, and Marriane Williamson). Due its style and intensity, it's not very accessible to the masses, but it sure serves its purpose. For me personally, it brings Christ back to Christianity.
