I need your help in reestablishing our page 1 ranking on Amazon. Due to my re-titling of A Course In Miracles for Dummies Series to its new name, Understanding A Course in Miracles Series, we have temporarily lost our page 1 Amazon book rankings. Although these books’ content remains the same because of the different title, Amazon considered them to be new books.
If the messages in these books resonated with you, please help us reestablish our page 1 ranking by posting book reviews for these books. This is the best way to show your support for these ideas while helping us regain our page 1 rankings.
You do not have to buy a book from Amazon to post a review but you should be familiar with its' contents. If this is not the case, you can download a free sample of the Understanding ACIM's Series that covers both the ACIM Text and Workbook Lessons with the link below.

To post a review, Amazon requires you use an account that has purchased at least $50 in the last year. The account does not have to be in your name. An account of a friend or family member will do.

Thank you for your ongoing support for the message. With your help, it well resonate around the world.
Create a great day for yourself and your world.
Now for the rest of the story.
People often ask how they can help me spread the deeper message and clarity that is found in the Understanding ACIM Series, previously titled A Course In Miracles for Dummies Series. To this I normally would respond to live and be the Truth of What you really are. Today, however, it is clear that the best way you can support and spread this message throughout the world is by you placing a book review, hopefully 5 star, about these books on Amazon. ACIM says, minds are joined, but sometimes it helps to see other opinions in writing.
I was a channel for this deeper message, but I am not a slick promoter. The visibility of these books rests entirely on word of mouth or Amazon book rankings. A large part of a book’s ranking is based on reviews. Unless a book is found on page 1 in an Amazon key work search, it is unlikely to be discovered by anyone who is not searching by actual book title. Because of this, most publishers buy Amazon ads to get on the top of the search results. This allows “sponsored” books to appear to be the people’s choice as the most relevant books that appear on these Amazon listings. I’ve relied only on the Holy Spirit to do it. Over the years the Understanding ACIM series has slowly worked its way to page 1 status. This demonstrates the power of the message, not the messenger.
As previously mentioned, ACIM for Dummies series has been re-titled as Understanding A Course In Miracles series. This new title aligns with the name change of my website to UnderstandingACIM.org or endingfear.org that occurred about 2-3 years ago. In 2014, A Course In Miracles Workbook for Dummies was published. It completed and complemented the 2007 publication of A Course In Miracles for Dummies which cover the 31 chapter ACIM Text. Between 2011-2012, a company attempted to trademark the actual words “for dummies.” Normally, trademarks are a particular rendering of an image like a logo or if words are used, a particular font, color, size and juxtaposition. Although its’ application was originally denied after a number of appeals it was finally approved. In 2022, Amazon received a notice objecting to the use of the “for dummies” in the title of the ACIM Workbook. Amazon made the Workbook unavailable. It took 1-2 months before someone told me they could not buy the book on Amazon. I checked into the matter and was told by Amazon that I could either question the company’s claim or I could simply republish the book under a new title. Perhaps because the ACIM for Dummies Text was published prior to the trademark registration the older book was not an issue. Since I viewed both books as one series, I choose to also re-title the 2007 Text. These books’ content remains the same. Only the title has been changed.
Being a one person operation and since publishing is not my number #1 priority, it took a number of months to get everything sorted out. There was some misunderstanding, misinformation and jumping through some wrong hoops. It was a good learning experience and I’ve learned a little about how the game is played. Unfortunately, reviews and historical ranking are not automatically transferable when books are re-titled. This is devastating to the exposure of the book’s message. My goal is to reestablish the book’s prior page 1 ranking and not take years doing it. Since I have no intention of buying my way to the top, I need your help in posting new reviews for these books. I have included a page link for posting these reviews .

I have learned that Amazon treats each title as a separate book. This meant that since Understanding A Course In Miracles Text is too large to be printed as one paperback, Volume I & II are considered different books. Since the eBook edition can cover the entire text as one book, it is considered a third book. Therefore, you should post a review for the “same” book in three different places. The Understanding ACIM Workbook Lesson is only a single volume. Thus, for maximum support of the message, those familiar with both the Understanding ACIM Text and Understanding ACIM Workbook Lessons would post four same or similar reviews for these two books.. If you wish to buy these books directly from Amazon, your reviews will be classified as verified for only the specific editions that you purchased. The Understanding ACIM Text eBook combined edition cost $9.97. If you purchase as Vol I & II separately, the cost would be $6.97 each but that would make both Vol I &II reviews verified. Understanding A Course in Miracles Workbook Lessons eBook cost $9.97
Best reviews are about 150-200 words with specific ways you found the book helpful. You do not have to buy the book from Amazon to post a review but you should be familiar with its' contents. To post a review, Amazon requires you use an Amazon account that has purchased at least $50 in the last year. The account does not have to be in your name. If you used that same account to buy the book, your review will be categorized as a verified purchase rather than an unverified review. You can upload a picture of the book or leave a video review for additional impact. These last two items add to the review’s visibility.
If you are familiar with my other books, Decoding & Living ACIM or Ending Fear; 7R Formula for Fearless Awakening, please leave reviews for these books also. If you post a review for any of my books, email a copy to me at tom@wakechild.com. As a special thanks for your assistance I would be happy to send you a digital copy of one of these books or access to a related on-line class.
