Reviews

[AliceinWonderland · Rating 3 out of 5]

- A good, pretty well-balanced overview about the origins and disputes about the Course Material. A good accompaniment to the Course itself.

[Christopher Miller · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is a very even-handed appraisal of "A Course in Miracles". The author, D. Patrick Miller does not gloss over the issues and controversies raised by ACIM, but tries to fairly allow both sides of the argument room to present their points-of-view. In the end, the only thing that matters is if it works for you.
