I want to say here to any Religious who thinks that his church's teachings do not truly meet his thirst to learn a type, merciful and caring God, but is fairly scared to read the Class due to others' states that it's irregular with "true" Christianity: Don't worry! I have read the gospels often times and I promise you that a Class in Miracles is completely consistent with Jesus' teachings while he was on earth. Don't fear the fanatical defenders of exclusionist dogma - these bad people think themselves to be the only carriers of Jesus' concept, and the only real ones worthy of his blessings, while other will go to hell.

But if they style as special as mine do, and the millions of different true seekers who have discovered A Course in Miracles to be nothing less than a heavenly treasure, then congratulations - and may your heart always be abundantly filled with peaceful, warm joy.

Neither the workbook or the Course in Miracles is meant to total the reader's understanding; only, the products are a start.
