Product Description

"Path of Light" provides a fresh, superb, and penetrating overview of "A Course in Miracles" (ACIM), encompassing what it is, how it was written, what it teaches, and, most of all, how to live it.

Internationally respected Course teacher and author, Robert Perry, has written this enlightening and comprehensive guide for new and experienced Course students, for spiritual seekers who are curious about or open to exploring the Course as a spiritual path, and for those who simply want to incorporate more spirituality into their lives.

"Path of Light" presents the Course as much more than a set of transformative spiritual teachings that simply talk about the goal of inner peace and union with God. It emphasizes the Course as a practical and complete spiritual path that shows us a road we can walk along, one step at a time, in order to actually reach that goal. It explains what must be done to walk this path; it answers the questions that come up at different points along the way; it describes the benefits gained from traveling this road.

Perry writes in a clear, straightforward fashion, and, like a storyteller, he uses simple words to relay the deep truth of the teachings of ACIM.

More challenging than popular "self-help" summaries, yet more practical and engaging than a scholarly analysis, "Path of Light" will provide a new standard of reference on the most remarkable spiritual teaching originating in modern times.

Foreword by Marianne Williamson, author of "A Return to Love"
Preface (Assessing "A Course in Miracles") by Roger Walsh, M.D., Ph.D., author of "Essential Spirituality"

Includes illustrations by Ken Bauer, a Glossary of Course Terms, and an Index.

The ideal companion to 'A Course In Miracles'
Robert Perry is one of the most respected teachers of 'A Course In Miracles'. His previous publications address many aspects of the Course's teachings. In 'Path of Light' he has produced what is arguably his most important work.

The Course has a simple teaching, based on explaining the true meaning and application of forgiveness in our daily lives. This transformative practice will enable us all to reawaken and experience our true Self and relationship with God. This process is not one that is always easy to follow or even accept. To progress requires determination and patience and frequently the support of others.

'Path of Light' is one of the latest support books available. Robert's conversational, but clear and concise, style is ideal for both the beginner and the more serious student. He explains how the Course was received and exactly what it is. He then goes on to explain the the Course's teaching and the role of the Text, Workbbook and Manual for Teachers. A glossary defines the more commonly used terms in the context of the Course. Uniquely, Robert uses diagrams to illustrate the concepts, I found this particularly useful.

As a Course student of over 20 years I have read many related books that have tried to explain the ACIM's overall concepts; this one is the best.

Mike Tolley

ACIM student since 1990
I've never written a book review, but I was very inspired after reading this book.
I have been on a break from studying A Course in Miracles (ACIM) and had no intention of starting the lessons again, because my time is so limited working full time. But the book really helped me find that time. What happened was the Holy Spirit moved into my heart and sent me on the right path. I have been a student of ACIM since 1990. This is the BEST book I have ever read on ACIM. I have started to do the lessons again. I do a lesson each day, and then after doing the lesson I read Path of Light. ACIM has a way of coming into an experience so timely when reading it, that it seems like it was written in that moment, for you in that moment. Path of Light has a way of fitting right into the lesson that I'm on for that day. I know that this book was Divinely guided, and I am so grateful that Mr. Perry wrote it. I just bought another Path of Light book for my stepdaughter. She lives in Ft. Collins Colorado and doesn't have a teacher there to help her. This book will be such a help to her. I wish that I had this book when I first started studying ACIM, it would have speeded up my learning. I'm so thankful to Robert Perry for being such a Light to all the ACIM students.

One of my top 5 favorite books on A Course in Miracles
I've always felt that Robert Perry's books offer user-friendly Course teachings, without watering down or compromising the Course's metaphysics. This book highlights Robert Perry's gift. It's one of the most accessible books summarizing key principles to A Course in Miracles I've ever read. Robert Perry's ability to build a bridge between deep Course metaphysics and the everyday lives of his audience is no easy feat of engineering. But he pulls it off in this book and even manages to make it look easy.

Pathways of Light is a book for all students of A Course in Miracles, whether a new or long-time student. I purchased two copies -- one to highlight and scribble in & the other to share!
