Entertaining and immensely helpful Nov 13, 2009
I have been a student of ACIM for several years. I've read Ken's books, Joe Jesseph's book "A Primer of Psychology According to ACIM" and I found this book to be delightfully entertaining, yet keeping with the profound message of the Course. Even tho a fable, it induced resistance in me....yet got the point of the Course through in a completely different way. It was great, and I recommend it to any student of ACIM, whether just starting out, or, as myself, a student for several years.

A wonderful story, full of learing key principles of A Course in Miracles Aug 31, 2009
If you would like to learn profound lessons, without effort other than reading an adventure, this is the book for you. Though many people find A Course in Miracles a wonderful tool for transformation, many also find the principles in the Course difficult to grasp. The author of "Paulo and the Magician" takes us on a journey, full of adventure and intrigue, and when done we have learned many of the lessons which A Course in Miracles teaches. Enjoy the read!

A Remarkable Book Aug 30, 2009
I have been A Course in Miracles' student for awhile and am delighted that I have had the opportunity to find this wonderful book. Author Bernard H. Groom manages to translate the teachings of ACIM into a marvelous story which will lead you through the Course in a very understandable and enlightening way. I encourage anyone who is interested in what the Course has to teach us to walk with Paulo as he becomes a student who is willing to see his world, as he knows it, differently. His difficult journey is aided by the gentle wisdom of the magician Zeph who lovingly teaches us through Paulo the true meaning of who we really are and how we can make our journey Home to the City of Light. I know that this book will have a place of honor next to A Course in Miracles in my home and my life. Thank you Bernard H. Groom for this blessing.

Delightful Tale for Anyone Searching for Peace Aug 30, 2009
Paulo and the Magician is a new favorite of mine in my personal library and I believe it will become a favorite of many. Paulo is an endearing character, very brave for a 14 year old! The reader is instantly transformed into his world and curious to see who the "Magician" is, referred in the title. Written in the form of a fairy tale, it is for readers young in age and young at heart.
The chapters are written in perfect segments, excellent for stopping and allowing your mind to chew over it's rich concepts.
Whether you are a Course student or not, you will find this book extremely helpful in introducing a 'different way' of being in the world. Like "The Disappearance of the Universe" by Gary Renard, I believe this book will become a must have on any Course student's list.

Excellent story Aug 28, 2009
After studing ACIM for almost 3 years I had been wishing to find the Course principles in story form.
Bernard H. Groom has provided this.
Being able to be the third person observer by reading the story of Paulo and the Magician has helped greatly with my own understanding of how it works. Watching as Paulo starts where we all start terrified, angry, confused, asking questions and getting non-answer answers from the status quo. Even being told to stop asking such stupid questions. Slowly, with Zephs help, Paulo starts to see his own unconscious fears and realizes that everyone else is operating from the same fear based thought system. This insight allows him to start forgiving them and himself in order to move past the pain and into the Peace of our "Oneness" with each other.
"Watching" Paulo have his ups and downs while letting go and moving through his resistance and seeing the effect on the "Townespeople" has helped clear up some of my own confusion and be more gentle with self and others.
