Book Description
An illuminating "grand tour" through the profound teachings of A Course in Miracles, by one of its most respected teachers and scholars. Writing in the warm, accessible style that has become his trademark, Robert Perry is our guide as we explore the extraordinary journey set out in the Course. And it is an extraordinary journey--from our beginnings in eternity, to our primordial separation, to our journey home and our return, at last, to the Heart of God.

Robert's perceptive teaching inspires us to experience first-hand the pivotal milestones of this journey--the forgiveness, holy instants, and miracles that speed our return to the peace we seek.

From the Author
This book is very meaningful to me personally. I searched for years to find a way to capture the main currents of the Course's system. After many different attempts, I finally came upon the sixteen-point outline that forms the backbone of this book.
