📝 Description: Practicing a Course in Miracles/The Way of a Course in Miracles, Volumes 2 and 3: A Translation of the Workbook in Plain Language, with Mentor's Notes

In the mid-1970s, A Course in Miracles was published. It is a self-study course designed to help you undo your conscious and unconscious beliefs that you are separate from God, so that you can return to your natural State of Boundless Love, Peace, and Joy. Since then, it has become the 'Holy Book' of millions of people worldwide who have experienced a loving transformation to a more peaceful experience. Practicing A Course in Miracles and The Way of A Course in Miracles are practical companions to The Message of A Course in Miracles, the first volume of the Plain Language A Course in Miracles. Where MACIM lays out the theoretical foundation of the Course, PACIM provides a year of practical lessons to transform your experience to peace, and WACIM provides answers to common questions. These volumes also contain mentoring notes from the translator, a student and teacher of the Course since 1984. Together, these books offer a clear means for attaining lasting inner peace.

💎 Expert review

💎
Esoterica Books editorial team
Occult literature desk
Cronkhite successfully bridges the gap between complex metaphysics and daily application, offering clarity where others offer obscurity. However, this volume does not suit readers seeking rigorous academic analysis of Course in Miracles scholarship or those who prefer traditional, unadulterated spiritual language. It is also less appropriate for advanced practitioners already deeply familiar with the original text’s specific dialectic. While it excels at making concepts accessible, its strength lies in simplification rather than depth, meaning it may feel too basic for those requiring dense philosophical engagement.
