During the last decade, author Gary R. Renard was visited in the flesh by two ascended masters who instructed him to write a book. Over the course of nine years he eventually did write his book, The Disappearance of the Universe (DU), based on his Guided study of the metaphysical masterpiece, A Course in Miracles (ACIM).
Not long after DU was first published, a fellow student claimed it had such a "profound impact" on his understanding of A Course in Miracles, that he started a message board on Yahoo!® Groups in April 2003, just so he could discuss and "hear other people's impressions" of Gary's book.
That October a new member joined the group, Martha Lucia Espinosa. By Jan 2004, Martha, or Lucia, as she prefers to be called, was selected to co-moderate the this rapidly expanding DU discussion group. Today, besides being a moderator to that group, (now almost 5,000 members), at the request of many of Gary's readers she has finally authored the companion book to DU that we've all been waiting for, Spoken Miracles.
Spoken Miracles is a brilliant little gem containing in concise format all of the quotations from ACIM that are found in The Disappearance of the Universe. During the nine years of on-going discussion Gary had with Arten and Pursah, 365 references were made to ACIM. Now they are beautifully recorded in order of appearance, and accurately cited for easy reference in Spoken Miracles, along with how Lucia, herself, came to be a student. I like to think of Spoken Miracles as DU minus Gary's ego, (LOL). As Gary would say, "So hats off to Martha (Lucia) for stepping up to the plate and kicking a(nother) field goal."
