A Program in Wonders is a set of self-study components printed by the Foundation for Internal Peace. The book's material is metaphysical, and explains forgiveness as placed on everyday life. Curiously, nowhere does the guide have an author (and it is therefore stated without an author's title by the U.S. Selection of Congress). However, the writing was written by Helen Schucman (deceased) and William Thetford; Schucman has connected that the book's substance is based on communications to her from an "inner voice" she said was Jesus. The original version of the book was printed in 1976, with a modified version printed in 1996. Area of the content is a training manual, and students workbook. Because the initial variation, the guide has offered many million copies, with translations in to nearly two-dozen languages.

The book's sources may be traced back once again to the first 1970s; Helen Schucman first experiences with the "my response  voice" generated her then supervisor, William Thetford, to get hold of Hugh Cayce at the Association for Research and Enlightenment. In turn, an introduction to Kenneth Wapnick (later the book's editor) occurred. During the time of the introduction, Wapnick was scientific psychologist. After meeting, Schucman and Wapnik used over per year modifying and revising the material.

Yet another release, this time around of Schucman, Wapnik, and Thetford to Robert Skutch and Judith Skutch Whitson, of the Base for Internal Peace. The initial printings of the guide for circulation were in 1975. Ever since then, trademark litigation by the Foundation for Internal Peace, and Penguin Publications, has recognized that this content of the first edition is in people domain.

A Course in Miracles is a teaching device; the program has 3 books, a 622-page text, a 478-page student book, and an 88-page teachers manual. The products may be studied in the obtain selected by readers. The content of A Course in Wonders handles both theoretical and the sensible, even though application of the book's substance is emphasized. The writing is mainly theoretical, and is a cause for the workbook's classes, which are realistic applications.

The book has 365 instructions, one for each day of the entire year, though they don't need to be performed at a speed of one lesson per day. Probably many just like the workbooks which are common to the typical audience from previous experience, you are asked to use the material as directed. However, in a departure from the "normal", the audience isn't needed to trust what's in the workbook, or even take it. Neither the book or the Program in Wonders is designed to complete the reader's understanding; merely, the products are a start.

A Program in Wonders distinguishes between understanding and belief; the fact is unalterable and eternal, while perception is the planet of time, modify, and interpretation. The planet of notion reinforces the dominant ideas in our heads, and keeps us separate from the facts, and split up from God. Perception is limited by the body's limits in the physical earth, ergo decreasing awareness. Much of the knowledge of the planet reinforces the vanity, and the individual's divorce from God. But, by accepting the vision of Christ, and the style of the Sacred Heart, one understands forgiveness, equally for oneself and others.
