Title: Doesn't Do Justice to A Course in Miracles
Review: Loyal fans of Marianne will no doubt be ga ga over this book, which probably accomplishes its purpose: to make them feel good. That however, is not the purpose of A Course in Miracles, which this book purports to be about. It is not being A Course "fundamentalist" to point out that Jesus is telling us something unique in the Course, something that is not necessarily what everything else is saying. He is not merely trying to make us feel good in the dream (which he describes this world as) but to get us to choose between the dream and reality, which he bids us to awaken to with Him. "The Gift of Change" totally misses the point. There's nothing wrong with feeling good, but there are plenty of other spiritual paths available that can accomplish that. A Course in Miracles is a lifelong spiritual path for those who are determined to go home, and "The Gift of Change" is for people who want to feel better about, and stay in, a dream that doesn't really exist.
