If there's one defining book that marks my adult life, it could very well be this one. Written by Robert Skutch who related a tale of astounding spiritual adventure that changed not only his life but all the lives of those people who came into contact with A Course In Miracles.
ACIM or A Course In Miracles is about an atheist who also happened to be a woman scientist who reluctantly agreed to allow another person to pen her "thoughts" in order to achieve peace of mind.
From that spiritual exploration that saw the participation of Skutch in that seven-year journey was born this book, Journey Without Distance. It traces the path through which Helen Schucman took to unveil the "course" that will change a reader's life if he so agrees to its principles.
This book will shed light on the struggle that those concerned undertook to bring ACIM to reality. Those who now subscribe to ACIM principles will be pleased to know that Journey Without Distance opens another window in their lives.
Although, you won't really need it to practise ACIM but to know the paths trodden by others to that final destination can be so enjoyable.
Today ACIM is well into 1.5 million copies and it continues to grow across the world.
Journey Without Distance is best expressed in the words of its author:
"The journey without distance is merely the awakening of the knowledge of who we are always and where we are forever. It is a journey without distance to a goal that has never changed."
Read it, enjoy and be enlightened.
