Miracles: Take the FreeWay
God created a perfect world and pronounced it “good.” Where has that world gone? The standard answer is that we have sinned, fallen short of the glory of God, and royally screwed it up. Yet is man capable of putting asunder what God wills and creates perfect? Some will find the hypothesis in Miracles: Take the FreeWay blasphemous. Some will find it a source of unprecedented hope. No one who reads it will ever see the world again in quite the same way.
Our current rationale and approach to finding peace on earth—sanctimonious judgment, political prowess and military might—not only are not working, they’re disastrous. Take the FreeWay is about finding a better way. It’s about rising above the battleground we call Earth and opening our minds to a radically different view. Based on A Course in Miracles (ACIM), it will challenge the reader to re-evaluate everything he thinks he knows about the world and its Creator.
Although the Bible paints a picture of an erratic, vengeful God, Jesus says, in ACIM, our Creator is neither unpredictable nor capable of violence. God is completely straightforward and unerringly consistent and loving. He has not abandoned us. We have abandoned God.
This is a book about reclaiming the happiness and dominion over our lives that is our divine inheritance. Like the Prodigal, we have squandered that inheritance. Like the father in the parable, Our Father in Heaven patiently awaits our return to joy and sanity.

June 17, 2013An excellent introduction to a Course in Miracles as well as summation of the philosophy and methodology of the course by an experienced practitioner. Helpful to those who are new to meditation and are perhaps unsure how to get started.
