In addition to providing convenient access to the full text of the 365 daily lessons from the Course's "Workbook for Students," THIS APP HAS BUILT-IN REMINDER ALERTS which have been preset with specific text to be remembered for the day and the time intervals as suggested within the lessons of the Workbook. For lessons that have no suggested time intervals, you can select a time interval of your choice. You can even override Course specified intervals to time intervals of your choice that fit in with your daily schedule. The app is simple to use. To begin you would select the lesson you are currently working on from a rotating "wheel," then when the wheel stops on your lesson of the day you click on "Full Text" and you are presented with the full text of the lesson. Once your beginning lesson has been selected you will be presented with the same lesson when you return the next day. This allows you review the previous lesson, or move on to your daily lesson. The complete Workbook, including Introductions, can be accessed from the wheel. During the day, shortened text (the words suggested within the Workbook lesson to be used as the reminder that day) is presented when the reminder alert is sounded. These words can be changed to whatever words you would prefer to use instead. In addition, you can choose what sound you’d like to hear as a reminder, when you want the reminder to start, and when you want it to end.
You purchase the app ONLY ONCE for all devices.
About "A Course in Miracles":
The Course’s teaching is based on the practice of forgiveness as the key to inner peace and the remembrance of God. While the app contains the text of the complete "Workbook for Students", it represents only part of the Course, a unique self-study metaphysical thought system.
Published in one volume, "A Course in Miracles" consists of three separate sections: "Text", "Workbook for Students" and the "Manual for Teachers". The "Text" section of the Course sets forth the theoretical concepts of the Course's thought system and thus provides the necessary framework to clarify the meaning of the "Workbook" exercises. It is therefore important to undertake the lessons in this app in conjunction with the writings within "A Course in Miracles".
"A Course in Miracles" was received in its entirety over a period of seven years by psychologist Dr. Helen Schucman through an inspired process she described as scribing. In 1975 the Foundation for Inner Peace, co-publisher of this app, was chosen by Dr. Schucman to be the publisher of the only original edition of "A Course in Miracles".
The "Workbook for Students", contained in this app, includes 365 lessons which are designed to train your mind in a systematic way to a different perception of everyone and everything in the world. 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.
I’ve been involved with ACIM since 1998 and one of the most difficult things I struggled with is remembering to do the workbook lessons. If a lesson said to do an exercise every half or quarter hour, I would forget, until now. This app is awesome! It reminds me to do every exercise. Plus, I don’t have to carry a bulky book around. It’s on my phone. Well worth the price. Enjoy!
I love the flexibility to set reminders and they always seem to go off at the perfect time for me!!
The only real problem I have is that you have to keep resetting the reminder to reset the lesson. It does seem like you could have a reminder that puts the lesson itself as the notification changing itself to the next lesson from wherever you start or reset to.
One of the main reasons I wanted an app was for the fact that a lot of the lessons in ACIM ask you to think about the exercise multiple times a day and when you are busy it’s easy to forget. But despite the fact that I have the reminders on I’m not getting a reminder text. I feel like they could have made the reminder text more user friendly. But it’s disappointing for it not to be sending me texts.
I've used multiple ACIM apps. This one is worth every penny. And in truth, is Invaluable. This is a Gift of Love. Love Yourself enough to give Your Precious Self this Gift from God.
App is very useful in helping to remember lessons. Sometimes however it doesn’t give alerts. All in all however it’s a great tool for me.
This app is just what the doctor ordered for people like me who are not too disciplined and have a short attention span. Very easy, straight forward interface.
This has been my number one go to app as I work through the lessons. Most helpful!!!! Very easy to navigate, very clean. Not sure I could do the lessons without it. Very much appreciated. Thank you!
The ACIM app does everything it is supposed to do. I appreciate the convenience of working the lessons during the day without having the book. The reminders are great, and they sync up with my Apple Watch. I like that the full text of the lessons are available, because I often get busy and forget the finer points of a lesson.
This app version of ACIM makes studying the course much more convenient. I set the reminders for a few times a day and review the daily lesson. Slowly but surely I’m noticing my mindset is shifting to a more peaceful way of thinking and not letting my “thoughts” consume me no matter what they’re about. They’re just that, ” thoughts” and I need not worry or be sad, be angry, etc. Glad I finally started studying ACIM.
