Who is this book for?

While the ideas and practices covered here are advanced and powerful, Advanced Spirituality for Beginners is geared towards someone who is not experienced in A Course in Miracles. The intention is to set out the sequential steps so that when people read the Course they can spot the key concepts for themselves. However, even if you are experienced in the study and application of the Course, Advanced Spirituality for Beginners provides the opportunity to review, enrich, and even adjust your current understanding.

The book acts as a primer for those who are going on to study and practice the Course’s Workbook. Such understanding will make their progress swifter and more productive.

Therefore, those new to the Course will find this a comprehensive and robust introduction to the Course’s ideas, processes, and practice. Experienced Course students will find much to deepen their understanding and their practice. Educators, therapists, and healers will find the material, including the illustrations, useful (and perhaps essential) in their professional practice.
