18 Nov 1996
People are taught to be separate from one another and to compete to get ahead, that they are not good enough the way they are. This work provides a spiritual travel guide back to the truth people were born with and and shows how to accept back into their hearts the love that has been denied.

OVER ONE MILLION COPIES SOLD

In A Return to Love, Marianne Williamson shares her insights into how the practical application of love every day can provide an answer to the problems that confront us, whether these are in our relationships, our careers or our health. This newly updated, best-selling guide reveals how we each can take a spiritual. psychological and emotional journey back to the true inner peace with which we were born, and shows how by practising love we can make our lives more peaceful, loving and fulfilling.

Marianne Lectures internationally in the fields of spirituality and metaphysics. Seen as a guru by many of the biggest names in showbusiness, she also works extensively for non-profit making charitable organisations, in particular those that help people with life-challenging illnesses. 'A Return to Love' offers readers the chance to experience the uplifting and empowering teachings which characterise her personal appearances.

‘Marianne Williamson displays in her writing the power and wit that she displays as a speaker. Her honest accounts of different periods in her life will motivate readers for a long time to come. 'A Return to Love' makes for very powerful reading.’
LOUISE L. HAY, author of 'You Can Heal Your Life 'and 'The Power Within You'

‘Marianne Williamson’s book is a classic. She reveals, with elegant simplicity, that love is not a mere sentiment or emotion, but the ultimate truth at the heart of creation.’
DEEPAK CHOPRA, author of ' The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success' and 'Creating Health'

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, inspired, practical spiritual wisdom 24 April 2001
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good introduction to A Course In Miracles 12 Feb 2004
Format:Paperback
This book is wonderful, a very gentle feeling flows throughout. I love Marianne's stories, particularly about her upbringing at the hands of an "eccentric Jewish father." "I come from a dysfunctional family," Marianne writes, "But who doesn't? This world is dysfunctional."

I have given this book as a gift twice, and I love Marianne's audio tapes upon which this book is based. Marianne Williamson is very direct and very strong. Her thinking is very clear. However, I would have to say that this book is for beginners on the path of the Course. The Course is a very demanding spirituality that makes us take stock of all our beliefs and eventually finds them to all be lacking. Further, the Course is founded on a non-dual view of God which many comment is quite similar to the Vedanta. Marianne does not tackle any of these more abstract themes of the Course in this book. The result is that the metaphysics of the Course do not always come vividly clear in this book. But that doesn't take away from the appeal of this book.

This book is very important in Course history, and the publication of this book was responsible for a 60% jump in sales of A Course In Miracles.

I had a chance to talk to Marianne Williamson after seeing her speak at a seminar a few years back, and she was very helpful in my understanding the Course. Or, rather, she helped me get to where I currently am in my study of the Course. Because the Course is a book that may ultimately be impossible for a human being to fully understand.

Some further books by Marianne Williamson that I would recommend are:

* A WOMAN'S WORTH
* THE HEALING OF AMERICA
* ILLUMINATED PRAYERS
