About "A Course in Miracles": The Course’s teachings are based on the practice of forgiveness as the key to inner peace and the remembrance of God. The "Workbook for Students", contained in this app, includes 365 lessons & reviews which are designed to train your mind in a systematic way to a different perception of everyone and everything in the world. This perception leads to inner tranquility and peace. As stated in the Introduction to the Workbook: “The exercises are very simple. They do not require a great deal of time, and it does not matter where you do them. They need no preparation.” You are asked only not to undertake to do more than one exercise a day. You might however choose to remain with a particularly appealing lesson for more than one day.
