NOTE: BOOK I of the Sparkly edition of A Course in Miracles is the Use of Terms & Text ONLY

We are grateful to present to you in this publication BOOK I of the two books of the SPLIT edition print on demand version of what has come to be known as the Sparkly or Thetford edition of A COURSE IN MIRACLES.

A COURSE IN MIRACLES is the unearthly contemporary body of work brought about in answer to our call for a “better way”. It is designed to undo the blocks to the awareness of love’s presence and bring about a consistent state of happiness and peace in the student/practitioner willing to apply the principles laid out in the Text, Workbook and Manual for Teachers.

The Sparkly or Thetford edition was originally printed in order to make the initial edit of A COURSE IN MIRACLES available. This version of A Course In Miracles, (published after the same guidance to fulfill this task was given to four individuals independently), acknowledges and honours Bill, (William N. Thetford, Ph.D), for his role as editor of the original scribed material and for his willingness to faithfully carry out his allotted task, as he was directed to do so by the author, the Christ Mind of Jesus of Nazareth through the scribe of A COURSE IN MIRACLES, Helen Schuman, Ph.D.

In order to make this publication available through Amazon print on demand, we have had to split the single edition Sparkly version of A COURSE IN MIRACLES into two books, BOOK I containing THE USE OF TERMS & TEXT and BOOK II containing THE WORKBOOK & MANUAL FOR TEACHERS.


BOOK I ~ USE OF TERMS and TEXT

In the USE OF TERMS, Jesus, as the author, gives explanations of what he means when HE uses specific words and terms throughout A COURSE IN MIRACLES.

He uses traditional vocabulary as a means of expression throughout the body of work of A COURSE IN MIRACLES but many of the terms used, point to and mean something quite different or have a broader application than the way they are commonly used within the human mind and our past learning.

In the USE OF TERMS, he redefines those words so as to have us, within the context of his masterpiece, think along the same lines HE does when he is using them and therefore understand what HE is saying.


The TEXT is the theoretical framework that provides us with an understanding of the "purpose" for A COURSE IN MIRACLES and its application.

In it, Jesus speaks to us and tells us how consistent inner PEACE can be obtained through the implementation of "forgiveness". He explicitly informs us as to how we are currently using our hearts and minds in a manner that does not serve our best interests if we truly desire to be happy & at peace reflecting our natural state of mind.

Through the utilization of his theory and lesson application, Jesus gives us a way in which our hearts and minds learn to open in order to operate and cooperate in a new way that brings about the end of all sense of isolation, vulnerability and purposelessness, replacing it with a sense of certainty, wholeness, lasting peace, inner joy and purpose.
