"Heal and be healed.

There is no other choice of pathways

that can ever lead to peace."

"This volume contains selections from A Course in Miracles, an inspirational text first published in 1976. The Course deals with the major personal issues confronting the human heart and mind: understanding anger and pain, learning forgiveness, giving and accepting love, and attainaing a true and lasting peace of mind. Its insight and spiritual guidance have been a treasure of wisdom for hundreds of thousands of readers worldwide.

"A Gift of Healing explores the universality of human suffering and the desire for healing. It identifies the cause of pain as existing in the juman mind, rather than in the body. And it presents a plan for treatment: the systematic practice of new habits to reduce our pain, such as exchanging anger for forgiveness, fear for love, and curse for blessing.

"A Gift of Healing is the third in a series of books drawn from the Course in Miracles material, edited by Frances Vaughan and Roger Walsh. Prior books are Accept this Gift (1983) and A Gift of Peace (1986)."
