No matter how much is learned, if that learning remains in our heads, it is not enough. Unless learning touches our hearts, it's never going to bring us the wisdom we seek, the peace we desire, or the intimacy and connection for which we yearn. A new and more receptive way of knowing is needed, and is found in this course for the heart. "A Course of Love" was received by Mari Perron and given to be a "new" course in miracles. It is for the heart what "A Course in Miracles" is for the mind. For many, it is the next step in a journey already begun.

“An engrossing tale [that] provides plenty of food for thought” (People, Best New Books pick), this playful, wise, and profoundly moving second novel from the internationally bestselling author of How Proust Can Change Your Life tracks the beautifully complicated arc of a romantic partnership. We all know the headiness and excitement of the early days of love. But what comes after? In Edinburgh, a couple, Rabih and Kirsten, fall in love. They get married, they have children—but no long-term relationship is as simple as “happily ever after.” The Course of Love explores what happens after the birth of love, what it takes to maintain, and what happens to our original ideals under the pressures of an average existence. We see, along with Rabih and Kirsten, the first flush of infatuation, the effortlessness of falling into romantic love, and the course of life thereafter. Interwoven with their story and its challenges is an overlay of philosophy—an annotation and a guide to what we are reading. As The New York Times says, “The Course of Love is a return to the form that made Mr. de Botton’s name in the mid-1990s….love is the subject best suited to his obsessive aphorizing, and in this novel he again shows off his ability to pin our hopes, methods, and insecurities to the page.” This is a Romantic novel in the true sense, one interested in exploring how love can survive and thrive in the long term. The result is a sensory experience—fictional, philosophical, psychological—that urges us to identify deeply with these characters and to reflect on his and her own experiences in love. Fresh, visceral, and utterly compelling, The Course of Love is a provocative and life-affirming novel for everyone who believes in love. “There’s no writer alive like de Botton, and his latest ambitious undertaking is as enlightening and humanizing as his previous works” (Chicago Tribune).

Get Ready for Unstoppable Inner Peace Author Corinne Zupko undertook her study of psychology out of necessity when debilitating anxiety threatened to derail her life. Seeking ways to do more than temporarily alleviate her symptoms, Corinne began to study A Course in Miracles (ACIM), mindfulness meditation, and the latest therapeutic approaches for treating anxiety. In From Anxiety to Love, she shares what she learned and gently guides you through the process, helping you undo anxiety-based thinking and fostering mindful shifts in your thoughts and actions. Whether struggling with everyday stress or near-crippling discomfort, you will find that Corinne’s approach offers a new way of healing from — rather than just coping with — fear and anxiety.

In this absorbing book, renowned psychologist Robert J. Sternberg presents a psychological approach to human relationships that reveals how and why people fall in and out of love. Fascinating reading for anyone who wants to learn more about love, Cupid's Arrow draws on fields ranging from history to cognitive science to folklore, offering a comprehensive account of love in its many forms. Grounded in Sternberg's own 'triangular theory', the book explores the many varieties of love as diffe

"You seek a description of a new way, a new time, as if it is a future that is already written. It is a future waiting to be birthed. An imminent birth that you are feeling with all your mothering instincts and concern for the new babe, the jewel of humanity and Heaven." Thus begins Mirari: The Way of the Marys. In Mirari, Mari Perron, who received A Course of Love twenty years ago, enters an intimate exchange with Mary of Nazareth. Their dialogue gives life to "the way of Mary," briefly introduced in her earlier work. In this new book, Perron departs from the classic style of "the course" and surprises us with her own vulnerability. In words spoken intimately between Mary of Nazareth and Mari Perron, our hearts are called to embrace our knowing in all its fullness. Uniting the feminine and masculine within, wholeness of being joins wholeheartedness, releasing all the feelings of the sacred heart. We can now welcome our grief over the way that is passing. Grief is "alive with soul and depth and longing." It empowers us to leave the old behind. As we cease to think of ourselves as learning beings, new ways of knowing arise. We become creators of The New. Here, the two women follow A Course of Love's call for "creation of the new" with the labor of the birth and the "Mother laws of care and nurture-given to all." Together, they demonstrate the radical energy that arises from within each one's felt knowing. From our union in relationship, we know that the time is here to give birth to a new age. Mary of Nazareth was not unfamiliar with this call or the grief that accompanied it. Her life, as well as the life of Jesus, announced an unwelcome breach in the old order. So too is it with A Course of Love and the new Way of the Marys. Mari Perron shares her personal experience of receiving A Course of Love and knowing this was not more "learned wisdom." She mourned that the call to "unlearning," key to a new way of knowing, went unheard. Mary and Mari assure us that it is from a feminine way of knowing-deeper than thought, and impossible to learn-that The New will arise. It is a courageous act to not be willing to repeat the past. But letting it go is part of healing our own and the collective feminine wound. This healing opens the way, not only to unifying the feminine and masculine, but for the birth of an age that will end all such divisions. The two women invite us to rise up and join in the blossoming of a New Advent. We claim our time of Mirari: the wonder of coming to know the unknown that is our inheritance. In this essential feminine way, we welcome receptive revelation that does not take us away from life or the personal milieu in which it occurs. Instead, it joins them fully. Mari Perron knows that it is time for the feminine voice of God and of women to be recognized as a power that has always been-but been denied. Increasingly, her writings champion the ways, often discounted, in which women come to know. Mirari: The Way of the Marys presents a vision that will mid-wife the birth of The New. We begin with a word both new and ancient. We begin with a return to the way of the Word made flesh. This will be the time of wonder-or Mirari.

Is it possible to propose a world formed by love and interpreted from a feeling of wonder without falling into the doctrines inherent in the different religious languages?

"Inner voice" of Helen Schucman, recorded by William Thetford.

An insightful, mind-expanding guide that will lead you from fears and limiting beliefs, to the Truth that eternal peace, love and joy is merely a perception shift away.In 2004 Beth Geer had a wakening experience that changed her life forever. While standing in a bookstore holding a dark-blue book titled A Course in Miracles in her hands she suddenly heard an Inner Voice speak to her, saying "Read this. Do exactly as it says. Do not miss my message for the second time...." And so she bought the book, and over the next 12 years the Inner Voice guided her in her studies of the Course, during which she found the answers she was looking for about God, life, and the reason for our very existence. This has led to the writing of this powerful guide that will resonate with those who are looking for a better way.
