With my deepest appreciation, I wish to thank the many people who have come to the Center for Attitudinal Healing in Sausalito, California, as well as the many friends that my wife, Diane Cirincione, and I have met through the years who have taught us so much about forgiveness.
My warm and special thanks to my dear friend for many years, Hal Zina Bennett, Ph.D., who was so helpful in the final editing of this book.
I am especially grateful to Cynthia Black and Richard Cohn, as well as the rest of the Beyond Words staff, for their helpful comments, support, and encouragement in writing this book.
I wish also to acknowledge that some of the concepts in this book are my interpretations of the principles from A Course in Miracles. At times I have paraphrased the Course, and once I have quoted from it directly. The paraphrases are noted with asterisks.
I am most grateful to Judith Skutch Whitson and Robert Skutch, of the Foundation for Inner Peace, for their permission to quote from the Course.
A Course in Miracles is published by the Foundation for Inner Peace, P.O. Box 598, Mill Valley, California 94942-0598.
