A Program in Wonders is a couple of self-study components printed by the Foundation for Inner Peace. The book's material is metaphysical, and explains forgiveness as put on daily life. Curiously, nowhere does the book have an writer (and it is so listed with no author's title by the U.S. Selection of Congress). However, the text was written by Helen Schucman (deceased) and William Thetford; Schucman has related that the book's material is founded on communications to her from an "internal voice" she claimed was Jesus. The first edition of the book was printed in 1976, with a modified edition printed in 1996. Area of the material is a training handbook, and students workbook. Since the initial edition, the book has sold many million copies, with translations in to almost two-dozen languages.

The book's roots may be traced back once again to early 1970s; Helen Schucman first experiences with the "internal voice" generated her then supervisor acim lessons, William Thetford, to contact Hugh Cayce at the Association for Study and Enlightenment. In turn, an release to Kenneth Wapnick (later the book's editor) occurred. At the time of the release, Wapnick was clinical psychologist. After meeting, Schucman and Wapnik spent over per year editing and revising the material. Another release, now of Schucman, Wapnik, and Thetford to Robert Skutch and Judith Skutch Whitson, of the Foundation for Inner Peace. The very first printings of the book for circulation were in 1975. Ever since then, copyright litigation by the Foundation for Inner Peace, and Penguin Books, has established that the content of the initial edition is in the public domain.

A Program in Wonders is a training device; the class has 3 books, a 622-page text, a 478-page student book, and an 88-page teachers manual. The components may be learned in the get plumped for by readers. The information of A Program in Wonders handles both the theoretical and the useful, although request of the book's material is emphasized. The writing is mainly theoretical, and is a cause for the workbook's lessons, which are useful applications. The book has 365 lessons, one for every single day of the season, however they don't need to be performed at a speed of 1 session per day. Probably many just like the workbooks which are common to the typical reader from past knowledge, you are asked to use the material as directed. However, in a departure from the "usual", the reader isn't required to believe what is in the book, or even take it. Neither the book or the Program in Wonders is intended to complete the reader's learning; only, the components certainly are a start.

A Program in Wonders distinguishes between information and understanding; the fact is unalterable and timeless, while understanding is the planet of time, modify, and interpretation. The entire world of understanding supports the principal ideas in our heads, and keeps people split from the truth, and split from God. Understanding is bound by your body's constraints in the bodily world, hence decreasing awareness. Much of the knowledge of the planet supports the ego, and the individual's divorce from God. But, by accepting the perspective of Christ, and the voice of the Sacred Soul, one discovers forgiveness, both for oneself and others.

Ergo, A Program in Wonders assists the reader discover a way to God through undoing shame, by both forgiving oneself and others. Therefore, therapeutic does occur, and happiness and peace are found.
