Central to the teachings of "A Course in Miracles" is the concept of forgiveness as the main element to internal peace and salvation. Unlike mainstream notions of forgiveness, which often include pardoning the others for perceived wrongdoings, the Program highlights forgiveness as a method of delivering the self-imposed barriers to love and healing. By relinquishing grievances and judgments, people may free themselves from the bondage of the vanity and experience the transformative energy of divine love.

The Book for Pupils comprises 365 lessons, one for every single day of the entire year, designed to facilitate an organized means of internal healing and acim awakening. Each session provides a specific theme or concept to consider, followed by practical exercises and meditations. Through regular practice, students learn how to cultivate a state of mindfulness, attuning their heads to the guidance of the Holy Soul and uncovering the truth of their divine nature.

The Information for Teachers acts as a supplementary guide for people who desire to deepen their understanding of the Class and reveal their teachings with others. It handles common issues and problems that could happen during the study of "A Course in Miracles," providing insights into the method of religious training and learning. By giving guidance on how best to increase love and forgiveness to others, the Information empowers people to become channels of therapeutic and change in the world.

At the heart of "A Course in Miracles" may be the acceptance that correct salvation arises from a shift in perception—from anxiety to love, from divorce to unity. By transcending the ego's limits and aiming with the divine essence within, persons may wake with their natural wholeness and reclaim their heavenly inheritance as kids of God. Through the practice of forgiveness and the readiness to surrender the ego's illusions, pupils of the Program can knowledge miracles—miracles of therapeutic, miracles of love, and wonders of transformation.
