Summary: Sometimes the best books are the least talked about.
Comment: If you're into contemporary popular Christianity or old-school tradional/conservative theology and are offended by the idea that all religions essentially lead to the same Goal via different paths, then you ABSOLUTELY shouldn't buy this book. That said, I loved this book. Just the sections on forgiveness, loving thy enemies and defenselessness alone were worth the price of this book "Forgivness and Jesus." Others have referred to these aforementioned concepts--and in particular to "loving thy enemy "--as: non-resistance, surrender, least resistance, active patience, "not taking anything personally," wu wei and others. An enemy can be a thing and/or condition as well as a person too. These so-little-understood concepts/spirit of mind are the most POWERFUL I've ever encountered, for they enable all the other laws/principles. What trips people up is the inherent vagueness of words or nomimals. That's why mathematicians use numbers, or ratios in their calculations, since they're much more precise than nominals. We've all heard these words, and we have all assumed that our definitions were correct; that they only pertain to people and not everything else in the world as well; that these spiritual ideals are just that: idealistic yet totally impractical(JUST THE OPPOSITE IS TRUE!); that somehow they denote weakness, being a doormat or a pushover, and they're letting people get away with "murder," and that we have no recourse but to suffer and yet pretend like it doesn't matter no matter how we secretly feel on the inside. NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH! If you think THOSE things, you may need to read the books to follow too.
Want to bet the rest of your life on those imprecise nominal misconceptions you've hear since the cradle and thence onto your grave? No? Then along with this book read Shinn's "Game of Life," Chopra's "Seven Laws of Spiritual Success," Patent's "Game of Life," Ruiz's "Four Agreements," and about Cayce's concept of "Patience...or active patience." If you're ready to hear, you may be pleasantly surprised. Don't believe me? Great! You don't have to. These aforementioned and other spiritual teachers like Vikekananda and Yogananda didn't demand mindless faith or dogmatism. Rather, they all exhorted you to prove them wrong by endeavoring to replicate their methodologies. Go for it! You've got nothing to lose and EVERYTHING to gain! It isn't about merely memoring and then parroting them to show how "spiritual" you are; it's about BEING/BECOMING them.

Summary: WONDERFUL BOOK
Comment: This book further elaberates on the Course's central teaching, that of forgiveness. Teaching that forgiveness is our peace and is as close to heaven as we can reach while still believing we are here in this world of illusions.
As a student of the Course it is my task to forgive those who misunderstand and misrepresent my path. Anyone who reads this book, or A Course in Miracles, with an open mind will see that the it has nothing to do with satanism (how could it when it teaches that only love is real, and that what you do to your brother you do to yourself?), and nothing to do with paganism (how could it when it teaches that the body isn't real?).
In the Course Jesus says "many false idols have been made of me that would be only brother to the world." This book helps the reader to see that Jesus is not a vengeful person who demands our suffering and repentance in order to enter heaven, he only suggests that we let go of our guilt and realize that there is only one universal soul. A soul that, in Reality, has never left heaven.
Believe this book if you want to. Unlike some other paths, the Course does not claim to be "the" way. It says that it is one among many, and they "all lead to God in the end."
Rating: 5
Summary: Tremendous book. Highly recommended.
Comment: The tradtional sacrificial model of Christianity where an angry God demands a pound of flesh (sacrifice of his beloved Jesus on the cross) before we are loved by and acceptable to Him at some deep level does not make any sense to me. Dr. Wapnicks explanation of Jesus' life and death based on A Course In Miracles is not only logical, it is beautiful. This view allows us to logically believe in a joyful, peacefilled, nonviolent Jesus and a God who never stops loving us. This book greatly changed my life. It started me on the path of wanting to love Jesus again and eliminating my fear of God and death.
