This simple book visited my attention in 2005 there are passed through my hands repeatedly since. I had no interest to explore its contents for I had ceased to trust in miracles. In, I was cursing God for abandoning me. I was using all my energy to stave off the hell I descended into 15 years earlier by marrying a man as un-Godly as anyone could be.

In 2007, while taking some books as donations for a book fair, my hand once again fell into on "A Course in Miracles". By this time, I had secured a divorce from my better half but was still dealing with the fallout. As i appreciated the book, I became very polite and calm. What was it about this book that invoked feelings I hadn't experienced in a long time? My hand clung to the book declining to put it down. Realizing that this was a symptom i always had better take a better look, I made a cup of tea and sat in my favorite reading chair. With great curiosity, I focused on the blue hardcover and read "A Course in Miracles, a foundation for inner peace. inches Wow. That was a pretty bold statement but okay, I decided to bite. Taking a deep air, I pondered raising question: What is the walls for inner peace? This book instantly opened an old injure and it had better have the answer to healing.

"A Course in Miracles" is actually that, a program. Written in three parts, this book is not to be taken lightly and cannot be read in a week or even a month. search acim There is text, a workbook for students and a manual for teachers.

As i choke down the red pill, I flip to Lesson 1 of 365 in the workbook for students and promptly read, "Nothing I see in this room means anything". Wow dear. Is it too late to take the blue pill?
