by Gary Tiemann Lcsw (Author)
As a psychotherapist, it is my vocation to explore the challenges and curiosities of life with my clients. We often begin with their most obvious problems. But to be truly useful, I've learned that we must eventually explore the existential depths of our being. No small task But if we are willing, our teachers will appear, to lead us where we need to go. Let me share with you what I have learned along the way of such journeys. In this book I offer some of my personal experiences, as well as what I was taught by my profession and clients. Most importantly, I will share with you the gift called A Course In Miracles, and suggest how it can teach you to achieve your ultimate happiness. "In this fascinating book, Gary Tiemann gives us a wonderful comparison of A Course in Miracles to major psychological approaches, some of which bear a striking resemblance to the Course. He also explains how he integrates the Course into his profession. Having known Gary for years, I can say he not only teaches these things but really lives them. I highly recommend this important work to all people who are on a spiritual path." - Gary R. Renard, author of The Disappearance of the Universe trilogy "Miraculous Psychotherapy provides the most clear and concise description of the tenets of A Course in Miracles that I have read. It is a valuable treatise for psychotherapists, patients, seekers, and students of ACIM." - Walter Semkiw MD, Founder of www.ReincarnationResearch.com
