Product Description
'A Course in Miracles' is a modern spiritual teaching that has become the path to God for thousands of people. The Course employs a unique use of language in which it fills familiar terms with new - often radically new - meaning. This has the double effect of making its language initially confusing yet eventually transformative. Hence the need for a glossary, which can help the student graduate from that initial confusion into experiencing the full psychological effect of the Course's language and teaching. Containing nearly 200 definitions of Course terms, word pairs, and phrases, this glossary is intended both for beginning students and more experienced students and can aid both individual and group study.

Reader Reviews
This is an excellent little glossary for some of the Course's more difficult terms and phrases. And let's face it, there are a bunch of them. You can't learn what you can't understand. Robert Perry is one of the keenest minds focused on ACIM today. Just as importantly, he's one of the clearest writers. If you're already on the path of A Course in Miracles, or thinking of starting down it, invest in this companion book for the sake of clarity and gentle, lucid guidance. Perry offers you definitions of not just what a term means within the teaching of the Course, but also what it means historically, conventionally and in Christianity. There's just no confusion; I still refer to it often. The Course is a map to inner peace and fulfillment, to the actual experience of God here and now in day to day life. This key to that map is offered by someone who has been there before you and actually knows the Way. As I've said in other reviews, my experience with Circle Publishing's books has been overwhelmingly positive. Their Workbook Commentaries are excellent and Path of Light is a great support book for students, would-be students and the simply curious. The value-per-dollar spent could hardly be tilted more in your favor. Peace to you.
