Gary Renard (born 1951) is the author of the books The Disappearance of the Universe (2004), Your Immortal Reality (2006), and Love Has Forgotten No One (2013), which books' stated purpose is to reawaken interest in and clarify the core principles of the 1976 spiritual text A Course In Miracles (ACIM).
Books
The material in The Disappearance of the Universe and Renard's two subsequent books is consistent with the teachings of A Course in Miracles as taught by ACIM teacher Kenneth Wapnick, though it stirred some controversy within some more conservative parts of the ACIM community.
The Disappearance of the Universe has been cited, along with Marianne Williamson's A Return to Love (1992), as a book which particularly elucidates and popularizes the teachings of A Course in Miracles.
Renard's second book, Your Immortal Reality (2006), is a continuation of the first book with the same format and type of dialogue with the two masters that is found in The Disappearance of the Universe. Love Has Forgotten No One (2013) completed the trilogy. All three books were published by Hay House.
Personal life
After his purported encounters with the ascended masters and being a musician, Renard focused as spokesperson and teacher in relation to A Course in Miracles. In 2007 Renard divorced his first wife, Karen Renard. In 2009 he remarried to musician and therapist, Cindy Lora-Renard. He moved from Maine to southern California. Renard currently travels and teaches in numerous worldwide locations, has a semi-regular podcast, and has hosted several ACIM-themed ship cruises.
