A wonderful story, full of learing key principles of A Course in Miracles Aug 31, 2009
By Lee L. Jampolsky
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!

Immensely helpful companyon for anyone who wants to go Home Aug 28, 2009
By leelah
I am a student of A Course in Miracles, and as most student I feel stuck and perplexed a LOT of time, in fact most of it. PAULO and the wonderful magician ZEPH has turned that around! I am one of those who learns most easily when taught by tales and fables and metaphores like this book. Paulo, a 14 year old wood-seller in mideaval France meets Zeph, who teaches him The Course - or the way to inner peace. Now, as i for the first time hear the Course, or the principles of LOVE, being taught to a 14-year old young boy, then i find that I can understand it, too!
It is a book that gives me strong dreams,and I sense it as a "something" that has a kind and loving strength to influence me to choose Love and not fear. It feels like the more I read it, the more the book becomes a kind of invisible companion to me.Wonderful experience.

A Hardy Thumbs Up! Aug 27, 2009
By Deborah Olson
Paulo and the Magician is a wonderfully written story of a 14 year old boy who begins to question the boundaries of our lives and the unfulfilling search for any kind of lasting peace or happiness. Upon discovering a wall that seems to imprison him in a grey and dismal Domain, he sets out to break through to find the source of the beauty he sees and hears beyond.
Based on the book "A Course In Miracles" from the Foundation for Inner Peace, Bernard H. Groom tells its story with a true-to-life acuity through the eyes of our friend Paulo and his mentor, the Magician. Paulo encounters his own fears and resistance while the Magician lovingly and patiently helps him see things 'another way'.
Paulo and the Magician is nothing less than the explanation of how we seemed to get here, who we are and how to find the Home we have never left. Its Happiness and Truth have not gone from us, and are accessible now for us to find deep within our own hearts. This journey is one we are all traveling in every moment of every day and is the most important one ever embarked upon. Surprisingly, it takes place entirely within our own thinking.
As a beautiful adjunct to the study of A Course In Miracles, or an easily understandable introduction to the spiritual principles of peace, Bernard H. Groom's Paulo and the Magician is a Must Read for all who are exploring the boundaries of our known existence and experience. Its powerful impact within a straightforward story speaks for itself and I give it the highest rating possible.

A Remarkable Book Aug 30, 2009
By Donna D.
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
By AnnieB
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.
