Anyone read or heard anything about the book "A Course in Miracles" ?

I stumbled across it and it seems like an interesting read and there's nothing else I'm actually reading right now...

I've heard of it. It was brought into prominence by Marianne Williamson on Oprah's show.
I'd always considered it more NewAge than Christian.
It has a very interesting background, which you can read about on Wikipedia. The writer considered the text to have been channeled to her from Jesus.
That was controversial, with many claiming it was actually antithetical to true Biblical teachings.
I tend to steer clear of NewAge stuff, as it seems like most of it is just a mash up of various spiritual, mystical, and occult teachings in new packaging.

@daydeeo I like studying spiritual, mystical and occult stuff:)
No, but it might be something I like to read, as long as they don't tell me what miracles are, I need to see them for myself. I think in this life, love is mircale and that they are so unique I rather read sweet stories of love.

ive seen it. it looks pretty good but ive read a lot of material before that seems to be kind of saying the same things so i didnt bother reading it. if the material seems new to you though id read it.

Yes I think my wife read that way back.

@JimboSaturn do you remember any feedback from her ?

@elafina It's coming back to me, she had some of it on audio tape and we used to listen to it in the car. It was like 30 years ago so I don't remember much.
Never heard of it but it sounds interesting
