Both teachers and students struggle for many years with little success in unlocking the secrets to understanding this Course. They often abandon their studies and end up confused and discouraged. This ACIM for Dummies series (now retitled as Understanding A Course In Miracles Series) cuts thorough the mystery of the Courses esoteric text and makes Jesus message alive and accessible to the ordinary reader. The richness and simplicity of ACIMs message of freedom, joy and unconditional love awaits anyone who is willing to see things differently. The Course states that Perception is a mirror, not a fact. Once decoded, it provides the formula that transforms and empowers the reader so that they are both free and capable of seeing things differently. You can exchange your fearbased thought system for the peace of God. Happiness is only a choice away and you can make that choice today. This is your time to shine. ACIM uses a unique terminology that references two different levels of being that are dominated by two opposing thought systems. This book demystifies the text by replacing the pronouns and unclear references with their meanings and clarifies the appropriate level associated with each passage. All antecedent references made to ACIMs second edition are clearly noted in bold print for easy reference to the original text. Each text paragraph is then followed by an explanatory note to assist the reader in their own interpretation of the paragraph. These notes are designed to foster discussion and clarity, not to limit ideas and prevent individual interpretation. As such, the Understanding ACIM Series can be utilized as either a primary or secondary text for independent or group study. Understanding ACIM Series (previously ACIM for Dummies) is an excellent reference tool for those who seek a deeper level of understanding of the Courses teachings.This edition, Understanding A Course In Miracles Text: Volume I covers the text chapters #115. The complete digital edition of Understanding A Course In Miracles Text: version covers the entire ACIM text which consists of 31 chapters. Because of publishing size restrictions, it is sold as two separate volumes in paperback. Volume I covers Chapters #115 of ACIM's text. Volume II covers Chapters #1631 of ACIM's text.

This book provides an insightful student of the Course assistance in understanding the Text's passages. ACIM for Dummies is invaluable to clarify what various words refer to. For me the 'notes' are more than worth the price of this book and could easily serve to support individual study or be the focus for a group discussion. I facilitated a group for 18 years in Colorado and am enthused about starting another group using ACIM for Dummies! B. Kent I've had over 20+ years experience working with ACIM. Tom's insightful writing of ACIM for Dummies has certainly shed some valuable new light on some of the more difficult passages. Tom is skilled at articulating the beautiful messages being transmitted throughout ACIM. Definitely a piece of work to have at your right hand while studying ACIM. T. Rice
