Key to the teachings of "A Program in Miracles" is the thought of forgiveness as the main element to inner peace and salvation. Unlike main-stream notions of forgiveness, which frequently include pardoning the others for perceived wrongdoings, the Class emphasizes forgiveness as a way of releasing the self-imposed barriers to enjoy and healing. By relinquishing issues and judgments, people may free themselves from the bondage of the pride and go through the major energy of divine love.

The Book for Students comprises 365 classes, one acim every time of the entire year, designed to facilitate an organized means of inner therapeutic and religious awakening. Each session provides a certain design or notion to consider, combined with sensible workouts and meditations. Through consistent practice, students figure out how to cultivate a state of mindfulness, attuning their heads to the guidance of the Holy Soul and uncovering the truth of their heavenly nature.

The Handbook for Educators provides as a supplementary manual for people who wish to deepen their comprehension of the Program and share its teachings with others. It handles frequent questions and concerns that will arise all through the study of "A Program in Wonders," giving insights in to the process of spiritual training and learning. By providing advice on how best to extend love and forgiveness to the others, the Information empowers people to become stations of therapeutic and transformation in the world.

In the middle of "A Class in Miracles" is the acceptance that correct salvation originates from a shift in perception—from fear to love, from separation to unity. By transcending the ego's limits and aligning with the divine fact within, people may wake with their natural wholeness and reclaim their heavenly inheritance as kids of God. Through the exercise of forgiveness and the willingness to submit the ego's illusions, students of the Course may experience miracles—miracles of healing, wonders of love, and miracles of transformation.
