A Program in Wonders is some self-study resources printed by the Basis for Internal Peace. The book's material is metaphysical, and describes forgiveness as applied to day-to-day life. Curiously, nowhere does the book have an author (and it's so outlined lacking any author's name by the U.S. Library of Congress). But, the writing was published by Helen Schucman (deceased) and Bill Thetford; Schucman has related that the book's material is founded on communications to her from an "inner voice" she stated was Jesus. The first version of the guide was published in 1976, with a adjusted edition printed in 1996. Area of the content is a training guide, and students workbook. Since the very first edition, the guide has bought several million copies, with translations in to almost two-dozen languages.

The book's origins can be see here back again to early 1970s; Helen Schucman first activities with the "internal voice" led to her then supervisor, William Thetford, to make contact with Hugh Cayce at the Association for Research and Enlightenment. In turn, an introduction to Kenneth Wapnick (later the book's editor) occurred. At the time of the introduction, Wapnick was medical psychologist. Following meeting, Schucman and Wapnik spent around 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, copyright litigation by the Base for Internal Peace, and Penguin Publications, has recognized that the information of the very first model is in the public domain.

A Program in Wonders is a training unit; the program has 3 publications, a 622-page text, a 478-page scholar book, and an 88-page educators manual. The resources may be learned in the buy picked by readers. The information of A Class in Wonders handles both theoretical and the realistic, even though application of the book's product is emphasized. The writing is mainly theoretical, and is a basis for the workbook's classes, which are practical applications.

The workbook has 365 lessons, one for each day of the season, however they don't have to be done at a pace of just one training per day. Possibly most such as the workbooks that are common to the average reader from previous experience, you're asked to utilize the product as directed. However, in a departure from the "normal", the audience isn't needed to trust what's in the book, or even take it. Neither the workbook or the Class in Miracles is intended to complete the reader's learning; just, the materials certainly are a start.

A Class in Miracles distinguishes between knowledge and perception; truth is unalterable and eternal, while belief is the world of time, change, and interpretation. The world of understanding reinforces the principal some ideas in our thoughts, and keeps us separate from the reality, and split from God. Perception is limited by the body's limitations in the physical earth, therefore decreasing awareness. Much of the ability of the entire world reinforces the ego, and the individual's separation from God. But, by taking the perspective of Christ, and the voice of the Sacred Nature, one learns forgiveness, both for oneself and others.
