Key to the teachings of "A Course in Miracles" is the concept of forgiveness as the key to internal peace and salvation. Unlike mainstream notions of forgiveness, which frequently require pardoning others for observed wrongdoings, the Program highlights forgiveness as a means of issuing the self-imposed barriers to love and healing. By relinquishing issues and judgments, individuals may free themselves from the bondage of the pride and go through the major energy of divine love.

The Book for Students comprises 365 lessons, one for each day of the year, designed to aid a systematic procedure for internal therapeutic and religious awakening. Each acim offers a specific design or concept to consider, associated with practical exercises and meditations. Through consistent training, students learn how to cultivate a state of mindfulness, attuning their heads to the guidance of the Sacred Spirit and uncovering the reality of the heavenly nature.

The Manual for Educators acts as a supplementary guide for those who need to deepen their knowledge of the Course and reveal their teachings with others. It handles frequent questions and concerns which could develop throughout the study of "A Program in Wonders," providing insights into the method of religious training and learning. By providing guidance on how to increase love and forgiveness to others, the Manual empowers individuals to become routes of healing and transformation in the world.

In the centre of "A Course in Miracles" could be the acceptance that true salvation originates from a shift in perception—from anxiety to love, from divorce to unity. By transcending the ego's constraints and aligning with the divine substance within, people may wake for their inherent wholeness and reclaim their heavenly inheritance as young ones of God. Through the exercise of forgiveness and the readiness to submit the ego's illusions, students of the Program may experience miracles—miracles of healing, miracles of enjoy, and wonders of transformation.
