Customer Reviews

Brilliant, inspired, practical spiritual wisdom
This book is packed with profound and practical spiritual truths. Marianne Williamson is writing with deep compassion and obviously has considerable first-hand experience of the principles she's writing about.

The basic message here is that we are all perfect expressions of love, and that the energy of love and God is all there is. Anything else is an illusion. All the judgments of oneself and others, feelings of superiority and inferiority and so on fall away if one chooses a path of unconditional surrender to God's will, that being the truth of who one is. Many practical examples of how to apply this approach are presented. I found the chapters on relationships and work particularly interesting.

As someone who struggled to get to grips with the original "A Course In Miracles" in the 1980s, I thank Marianne Williamson for giving us a more accessible version of the same powerful truths. As with the original text, some people (e.g. me!) may be a bit uncomfortable with some of the use of Christian terminology, but God and God's love are being re-defined here, in a similar fashion to Neale Donald Walsch's extraordinary "Conversations With God" books. Masterful stuff!

An uplifting a wonderful book full of wisdom
Marianne has a wonderful way with words, her message is a powerful one and she delivers it with such love. Reading her book led me to A Course In Miracles which quite literally changed my life. Thank you Marianne.

please read this book
This is one of the best books I have ever read. I believe that this is very good place to start to see things in a way that is beneficial to us rather than harmful. The message of love is really spellbinding and very beautiful. I found it moving and inspirational. I could not recommend it more.
