• Relationships as a Spiritual Journey (1997)
  We all value relationships and hope that they will bring us the love that we all seek. Yet our relationships seem to fall short of their potential, and we wonder why. In this book, based on the contemporary spiritual teaching, A Course In Miracles, Robert Perry explains why and shows us how our relationships can be, not merely a source of joy, but the way for us to awaken to God and real love.
  
  As Perry explains, for us to find this real love in our relationships, they must go through a profound transformation that will take the form of a journey: a journey from special relationships based on the pursuit of individual interests and specialness, to holy relationships based on the pursuit of a truly common goal. This is not an overnight change, for the relationship journey, according to A Course In Miracles, is the spiritual journey itself.
  
  In this book, Robert Perry guides you along this journey. First, he explains what the Course teaches about special relationships, describing the dark unconscious motives that drive our relationships. Next, he describes the shift from special to holy relationships, and then he traces the stages of the holy relationship as it develops into its sublime completion.

  • What exactly are they?

  • Do we perform miracles or do they just happen?

  • How do they relate to our lives?

  • How is the Course a course in miracles?

  The authors' goal is to lead you to a place where you see the frequent experience of miracles as entirely possible, as a true goal to which you aspire, and as the end toward which A Course In Miracles is guiding you.

• One Course, Two Visions: A Comparison of the Teachings of the Circle of Atonement and Ken Wapnick on A Course In Miracles (2004) by Allen Watson, Greg Mackie, and Robert Perry
  A Course In Miracles has emerged within our lifetime as an authoritative spiritual text. Yet what does it really say? In the Course's brief history, two comprehensive visions have been offered, each by respected teachers and organizations, each based on many years of personal dedication and scholarly investigation. One vision comes from Kenneth Wapnick and the Foundation for A Course in Miracles (FACIM).The other comes from Robert Perry and his colleagues at the Circle of Atonement.
  
  One might assume that these visions would differ only in the details; yet in fact they diverge dramatically, leading to different ways of approaching, understanding, and living the Course. These differences have naturally led to confusion for Course students. The purpose of this book is to clear up that confusion. It addresses how the two visions relate to each other, delineating both their similarities and their differences. It then goes on to explore the key differences, and how they impact the Course student's life.

• Path of Light: Stepping into Peace with A Course in Miracles (2004)
  Path of Light provides a fresh, superb, and penetrating overview of A Course In Miracles, encompassing what it is, how it was written, what it teaches, and, most of all, how to live it.
  Internationally respected Course teacher and author, Robert Perry, has written this enlightening and comprehensive guide for new and experienced Course students, for spiritual seekers who are curious about or open to exploring the Course as a spiritual path, and for those who simply want to incorporate more spirituality into their lives.
  
  Path of Light presents the Course as much more than a set of transformative spiritual teachings that simply talk about the goal of inner peace and union with God. It emphasizes the Course as a practical and complete spiritual path that shows us a road we can walk along, one step at a time, in order to actually reach that goal. It explains what must be done to walk this path; it answers the questions that come up at different points along the way; it describes the benefits gained from traveling this road.
  
  Perry writes in a clear, straightforward fashion, and, like a storyteller, he uses simple words to relay the deep truth of the teachings of A Course In Miracles.
  
  More challenging than popular "self-help" summaries, yet more practical and engaging than a scholarly analysis, Path of Light will provide a new standard of reference on the most remarkable spiritual teaching originating in modern times.
