This book is designed to help those who have read the D.U. book, those who
have not, and those who may never read it. Therefore, it is not a pre-requisite to
read that book in order to derive benefit from this one, though judging by the
benefits received by thousands of readers of the material, myself included, it
would be recommended. This book is also designed to help those who are already
students of ACIM, those who will become students, and everyone else.
Experiences gained through my professional career, which developed in Information
Technology, and a thirty-year-long spiritual search, have taken me through many spiritual
paths, including various forms of Christianity and much delving into metaphysics, Eastern
philosophy, Gnosticism, Hinduism, and other alternative theologies.
Eventually I found A Course in Miracles, and the answer to a decades-old prayer.
Compiling the quotes from ACIM in D.U., and finally understanding how God answered
my childhood prayers and how He answers everyone’s prayers has been a blessing.  
The title of this book refers to this compilation as if they had been spoken, more like
sayings, though they are actually quotes from a book. This is in reference to the inherent
relationship between the D.U. material and The Gospel of Thomas.
Sayings Gospels are the form in which the original Gospels were recorded by those who
actually heard Jesus speak, giving origin to the term sayings. In contrast with the
traditional Gospels which read more like stories, you might say that a Sayings Gospel
reads almost like a transcript or an account of what Jesus might have said.
The Gospel of Thomas, discovered in 1945 as part of the Nag Hammadi Library in
upper Egypt, and D.U. bare a significant relationship which I leave to the reader to
investigate.
It is in honor of Thomas and his Gospel that the quotes from ACIM are presented in this
book as sort of 21st Century sayings of Jesus. This is because the sayings compiled
in this book stem from two books in which the scribe and author heard the words as they
were spoken to them under miraculous circumstances connected to Jesus.
You can go to either book, ACIM or D.U., and study the references within either book’s
context. Simply follow the references here provided.
This book is divided into two parts: Part I tells the story of how this book came about
within the context of my experience with ACIM and D.U., and Part II contains the
quotes from the books.
There are 365 quotes in Part II and they are presented as daily meditations, one for each
day of a one-year period, or can be read straight through as we are told in the D.U.
book.
