A Year of Forgiveness
I absolutely recommend that you do the ACIM daily workbook together with A Year of Forgiveness by Tina Louise Spaulding.
This is a modern Channeling that is very helpful in understanding the daily lessons and how to put them into practice in your daily life.
Tina Louise Spaulding did an intensive 10 year study of ACIM and then had an awakening experience which began her ability to channel (ACIM was originally channeled scribed through Helen Schucman read about the process Here).
The book A Year of Forgiveness is actually the transcription of a year long live youtube series where Tina reads the ACIM lesson of the day and then Channels commentary by Jesus. I assure you that Channeling Jesus was outside of my comfort zone for some time. Over time I was able to listen with an open mind
and I have heard only truly loving commentary coming through her. Her work adds another layer, another perspective that helps each lesson sink in

If I am in a hurry and have not done my reading for the day I tune into Tina’s Youtube channel and listen to her read the daily lesson and then channel the commentaryTina Louise Spaulding’s Channel:

HOW TO START:
I suggest that you start at the beginning of the combined volume by reading the Preface and the Introduction.
Then I recommend skipping ahead to the Workbook Section and reading the Workbook introduction and Lesson #1. And continue each day reading one lesson per day. Then open your copy of A Year of Forgiveness and read the corresponding lesson for the day.
I recommend reading the TEXT section of ACIM very slowly, 1-2 pages a day or at a time as you feel called. The TEXT can also be very helpful to read as needed if you are feeling yourself getting pulled into an emotionally challenging time (I have often gotten up in the middle of the night feeling upset or anxious and read the TEXT until I find my peace of mind again).
Note:
At first, I resisted the unfamiliar and Christian language of ACIM, the masculine pronouns, and even the word “God” were uncomfortable for me. I decided to approach it as an experiment—to simply do the daily lessons and see if they might soften my inner judgments and self-criticism — and I found that it did.
I often like to use Divine Mother and Her instead of the male pronouns and instead of Father. Remember that ACIM teaches us that words are only symbols and that God, Love or ALL That IS, is beyond pronouns and language itself and that we can use whatever names feel good to us! Put another way, it’s the content, the message that is important not the form (the specific words used). In fact, if you find yourself triggered by certain words it can point to harmful beliefs you carry. Beliefs that could be dropped to free your mind.
Also remember that ACIM uses Christian language but defines these words in a completely new way. ACIM is in fact trying to undo the harmful often judgmental teachings of the Christian religion and restore to us the original teachings that Jesus brought to the world about what love is and who we truly are as Divine beings of LOVE. If you are part of the western culture, whether born in the west or subject to it’s conditioning, the harmful teachings of Christian religious dogma is likely buried in your unconscious belief system. ACIM is targeting and undoing this western belief system. This applies to atheists and people who follow a religious path alike.
