Publisher's Synopsis
Teachers of God: Further Reflections on A Course in Miracles
by Charles L. Whitfield M.D.
SECOND PRINTING, Further edited and expanded
This second book to the first volume titled Choosing God: A Birds Eye View of A Course in Miracles picks up where the first one ended. Here Dr. Whitfield continues to clearly summarize the main messages of the Course.
In 15 chapters he continues to show how the Course interprets the meaning of our psychological and spiritual life. Chapters include 1) The Dreamer and the Dream, 2) The Meaning of Time, 3) Healing and Time, 4) Prayer, 5) The Body, 6) The World, 7) Healing, 8) Teachers of God, 9) God's Will, 10) Sin, 11) Innocence, 12) Grandeur vs Grandiosity, 13) The Atonement, 14) The Holy Instant, 15) Holy Relationships, and how to use 16) Creativity and Co-Creation.
He closes these with a clear Epilogue.
To end the book he adds a rich Appendix containing a new and original chapter: A) The Universal Message of the Course in which he compares the Course to world religions and spiritual paths, including Twelve Step fellowships with a detailed description of B) The relationship of the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous to the Course.
This best-selling author of Healing the Child Within and eleven other self-help and recovery oriented books, draws upon his vast clinical experience assisting people with addictions, "mental illnesses," and other problems in living. He does so by correlating the simple yet profound teachings of this modern holy book with the reader's current personal and relationship problems and recovery needs.
On the back cover Dr. Whitfield writes "A Course in Miracles is the most spiritually exciting book I have ever read. I have found no other spiritual writing as intellectually stimulating yet so practical in our relationships with ourself, others and God. "Do you want peace or pain? If you want peace, the Course suggests, Choose God. It's that simple. What is not so simple is knowing exactly why, when and how to choose God."
