Bring positive change to your life with #1 New York Times bestselling author Marianne Williamson – preorder her latest, The Mystic Jesus, picking up where A Return to Love left off

In this honest and uplifting book, bestselling author Marianne Williamson delves deeply into the powerful role of change in our lives today. Far from something to fear and avoid, she says, every change—even the most difficult and painful—gives us an opportunity to receive the miraculous gift of personal transformation into what we are capable of becoming. The only real failure in life, she observes, is the failure to grow from what we go through. We will find real growth, Williamson gently teaches us, when we reorient ourselves with an eternal compass of spiritual principles, which alone can guide us on this path to wholeness.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“[Williamson’s] voice is strong medicine for our woundedness, warmth, insistence, good humor, and a little light to see by.” — Anne Lamott, author of Traveling Mercies

“Williamson takes her readers seriously enough to ask serious attention of them and to offer them much in return.” — Harold Kushner, author of When Bad Things Happen to Good People

“Never has a society needed this wisdom and guidance more than now.” — Caroline Myss, author of Sacred Contracts and Anatomy of the Spirit

“[From] one of our most profound teachers of transformational wisdom, this book is truly a gift to the world.” — Wayne W. Dyer, author of The Power of Intention

“Williamson challenges us to live in the present moment … that it can be a portal to the miraculous.” — Spirituality and Health magazine

“Marianne Williamson challenges us to dive beneath the slick surface of our everyday life to encounter–and embrace–what frightens us most.” — Body & Soul

From the Back Cover

Bestselling author of Return to Love and Law of Divine Compensation, Marianne Williamson shows people how to live without fear or worry in The Gift of Change. The time in which we now live is more difficult and stressful than people are willing to admit. We live with an abiding sense of collective anxiety. Williamson shows how we are paralyzed in our current state of fear and anger because we are not facing and dealing with the true causes of our anxieties and fears. Williamson reveals that fear and worry do not need to be the only tools in our tool box for dealing with problems in the world. As we learn to trust God and the love that surrounds us and guides us, we will see that what causes us pain is an opportunity for growth, healing, and miracles that can transform us and our world. Williamson delivers hope and healing as she illuminates ten basic changes that each of us can make as we learn to view the world through the eyes of love instead of fear.

Marianne Williamson is an internationally acclaimed author and lecturer. For the last 35 years, she has been one of America’s most well-known public voices, having been a popular guest on television programs such as Oprah, Larry King Live, Good Morning America, & Bill Maher. Seven of her twelve published books have been New York Times Best Sellers and four of these were #1. The mega best seller A Return to Love is considered a must-read of The New Spirituality. A paragraph from that book, beginning “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure…” is considered an anthem for a contemporary generation of seekers.

Marianne’s other books include The Law of Divine Compensation, The Age of Miracles, Everyday Grace, A Woman’s Worth, Illuminata, Healing the Soul of America, A Course in Weight Loss, The Gift of Change, Enchanted Love, A Year of Miracles, and her newest book, Tears to Triumph: The Spiritual Journey from Suffering to Enlightenment.

Marianne is a native of Houston, Texas. In 1989, she founded Project Angel Food, a meals-on-wheels program that serves homebound people with AIDS in the Los Angeles area. To date, Project Angel Food has served over 11 million meals. Marianne also co-founded the Peace Alliance.

Marianne has dedicated her travel schedule during 2018 to the Love America Tour, articulating an evolutionary wave of new possibility as principles of higher consciousness are brought to bear on our politics.

This book will inspire you, give you hope, make you cry, make you open your eyes and mind and most importantly encourage you to get up each day and make not just yourself a better person but do something in your day that makes this world a better place...be it a kind gesture to a stranger, pay it forward act, smile and radiate loving kindness to all. You will realize all these small gestures and acts of loving kindness does really have an impact (energetically) on all those around you. I love the way Mariannne Williamson writes.....its in such a way that you resonate with every word she says .....she's real and you know she has been through her stuff too. Life is a challenge for all of us, but how she talks to you about how you can change all that and that we will never be perfect every min of the day. However, we can get up each day and start again or continue to build on each day. I will read this book again and again....great one to keep on hand or give to a friend as a gift.

I purchased this book for my Husband and he is going to write a review.
I found this book to be all I expected it to be. I am presently doing a program called "A Course in Miracles" and this book relates directly to it. The Author brings it to life in a down to earth way. I have already read the book once and I am halfway through it again. It is deep but very meaningfull while the Course in Miracles is very difficult to wade through. This puts it in a very practical way that I can relate to in my life. I would strongly recommend it to those who are searching for a closer relationship with God.

5.0 out of 5 stars ANYONE WHO CARES GETS 5 STARS
Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2005

Firstly, I've read all the reviews for this book and I have to say that in my opinion anyone reaching out to help us change who we are can only be an example of a first class human being. If we want to be honest we will realize that Religions have been around for thousands of years and if you really look at our planet you'd have to wonder how it could possibly be in the state it is in while we have all of these religions. Is it because of what some would call "the devil"? Well, what about us? Where is our responsibility? We are the ones being greedy. We are the ones dropping bombs. We are the ones polluting the earth. We don't want to take responsibility for the ugliness of who we are, which is sad because it's so easy to not be this way, there is plenty for all of us, if we would just stop and realize it, just stop racing around like we constantly "need" something else to "be happy." One idea we really need to consider when we address others as "new agers" is that when Christ walked the earth HE WAS DIFFERENT, in fact, HE SPOKE OUT AGAINST THE TEACHINGS OF THE CHURCH AND IT WAS THE CHURCH THAT CRUCIFIED HIM!!! My wish is that we will get to the place where we love ourselves and love each other as God loves us.

The bridge on the cover seems replicated in a local park, a meditation point for several of Marianne’s observations. We are never too late in life to accept and develop fuller lives through change.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Life Masterclass book
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 3, 2016
Verified Purchase
Like being in a Masterclass. Not an easy read but a dedicated, focused time giving read. So many lessons of connection with self and God. At the start it felt as inspirational quote tips with no practical substance but later in the book it comes closer and closer to a balance of inspiration and examples of practical ways she performed it in herself. At the end she gives you the gift of reconnecting yourself with a higher power. You have to be open to God to read this book but I think Marianne Williamson is already known for this.
