Marianne Williamson

      I first read A RETURN TO LOVE : Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles, by Marianne Williamson,(An internationally acclaimed lecturer on metaphysics and spirituality and the bestselling author of A Return to Love, The Healing of America, A Woman’s Worth, Enchanted Love, and Illuminata, among other works)   about 10 years ago. It has now become my bible, and sits on the nightstand next to my bed. And I recommend it to everyone I know.

I have read it several times over the years and highlighted it often! Sometimes before going to bed, I will just open it up and read some of the highlighted passages. It's easy to relate and connect to life experiences that I have had and it's presented in a practical format, that allows you to reframe your thinking. The bottom line is  all about love. Applying love to all difficulties, as advised by "The Course," can aid in healing.

She has  begun broadcasting her own weekly radio show on The Oprah and Friends XM Radio Block (XM 156.)  The one-hour show will be broadcast several times on Tuesdays, plus Saturdays and Sundays as well. The Gift Of Change is her latest book. In her most articulate lesson yet, Marianne explains how we can connect with God's love and get in touch with our deeper reactions to what's happening in the world today. Forgiving others and atoning for our negative feelings, we can change our-selves in ways that open the door to becoming who we are meant to be. This trans-formation not only gives us peace, but can lead to thoughts and actions that can make the world a better place.  This book really captures her philosophical depth.  Overall, this is a highly instructive addition to her  collection of books  that people of all faiths will appreciate.
