Summary: Good for the Soul
Comment: My husband and I have been reading the "Daily Meditations for Practicing the Course in Miracles" together daily for over ten years. We have found that no matter how many times you may read a passage it always pertains to something going on in our lives. We have been enriched as a couple and as individuals by this book and it's teachings. We have been able to practice some of the complex ideas in this meditation. It has given us an advantage is situations which use to baffle us. We ask ourselves and each other who is running the show, "Your Ego, or The Holy Spirit!" As suggested in the meditations, if it is the ego that is why we feel "bad." If it's the Holy Spirit that is why we feel "good!" We are grateful to Ms. Casey for encapsulating this important work into daily meditations.
Peace Always,

Summary: Good for daily reminders
Comment: This beautiful book nicely encapsulates concepts from the Course for daily reflection. I find it useful as a bridge between the very conceptual Course ideas and "practical" daily living. I do wish the meditations were a little longer, and I sometimes found the reflections on the day's idea inadequate. I suppose those things encourage the reader to truly meditate to find one's own meaning, however. Nonetheless, I personally find the Unity Daily Word magazine more fulfilling as a daily meditation aid.

Summary: Well intentioned
Comment: I have respect for this author because she prefaces this book of meditations with an acknowledgment that she is not an "expert" in A COURSE IN MIRACLES. The author's willingness to admit to this could be seen as being akin to the "little willingness" the Course asks its students for. The Course says that we don't need to know everything, that the Course's aim is not the accumulation of knowledge but the experience of peace, and that peace cannot be attained until we admit that we do not know what is best for us.
That being said, it is my opinion that the meditations in this book are not quite A COURSE IN MIRACLES. The Course teaches that this world is dream world and that there is no hope in this world. The only hope we have is to realize that "there is no world!" We want to wake up from the dream, not "improve" the dream. This book, however, seems to present the idea that we should seek to improve the dream world we believe we are in. This is very much in line with many other self-help and New Age meditation books. A COURSE IN MIRACLES, however, is not in line with most self-help and New Age philosophy.
The meditations in this book are certainly inspiring, and they left me feeling good about myself. So I would recommend this book to you if you are looking for meditations to help you feel good about yourself. But if you are seeking a year's worth of meditations that fully grasp the non-dualistic metaphysical foundation of the Course, I would suggest the Workbook of A COURSE IN MIRACLES.
