Michael Roden is the author of several books of Christian theology and several volumes of spiritual poetry. He has degrees in psychology, counseling, and theology, and works as a therapist in Columbus, Ohio. He has been a Course student since 1981. In his most recent book, A World Full of Miracles: A Study of Vision in A Course in Miracles, Michael turns his attention to the modern spiritual classic, A Course in Miracles . In the introduction to that book, he writes that the Course has helped him to integrate all he has learned regarding theology, philosophy, psychology, and spirituality. He writes of the great authority of the Course, and about where it fits in the annals of human knowledge. Yet A World Full of Miracles is not only well-researched, it is also inspirational. As he explains in the introduction, Mr. Roden sees the knowledge which is the ultimate goal of the Course to be an experiential knowledge--meant to be experienced rather than merely learned by rote. It is meant to become part of our lives. Michael's interpretation of the Course is one that emphasizes the experience of the love, joy, and beauty that is found therein. It focuses on seeing our fellow human beings differently--with dignity, respect, and appreciation. It is this that will allow us to see (and know) ourselves differently.
