Description
In Of Course!, Ian Patrick discusses some of the toughest challenges known to students of A Course in Miracles: facing the deaths of loved ones; letting go of long-held grievances; trying to comprehend Nelson Mandela meeting the Spice Girls; and much more. In this new edition, O-Books presents the best of Ian's insights and personal reflections in one volume, selected from over 100 editions of the UK's highly respected Course periodical, Miracle Worker. From the lighthearted to the profound, these short essays reveal the down-to-earth illumination of a dedicated Course student who "remembers to laugh" at the ego - and who understands the everyday joys and difficulties of working miracles.
