Title: Sounds familiar....
Product review: I'm a former Christian Scientist who picked up this book out of curiosity. I'd say a full three-quarters of the book's basic philosophy is lifted right out of the Christian Science "textbook" -- Science and Health, by Mary Baker Eddy.Ms. Williamson's book is a nice, frothy milkshake -- a New Age, feel-good blend of pop psychology and secular spirituality that goes down very easily. From what I can gather from the book, it sounds as if the folks who concocted A Course in Miracles studied the Science and Health, rewrote the Victorian language so that it was contemporary and appealing, and left out all the hard, controversial stuff -- like relying solely on God for physical healing.Hmm. All I can say is: give me good, old-fashioned, traditional, church-going religion. That's where you get to know God -- AND yourself.
