Make Every Day an Extraordinary Day!,
By
This review is from: Everyday Grace (Paperback)
In Everyday Grace, my favorite spiritual author, Marianne Williamson, demonstrates the miraculous effect of living a life of unconditional love and forgiveness. Every single day, and in every single way, we experience grace, ease, joy, peace, and fulfillment when we connect to the divine spirit of love that lies within us. This is not an esoteric book. It is filled with practical examples of how to handle many of the common issues we all struggle with on a daily basis. Bless you, Marianne, for this inspired work.Steven Lane Taylor, Author of "Row, Row, Row Your Boat: A Guide for Living Life in the Divine Flow."

A message of peace and personal empowerment,
By
This review is from: Everyday Grace (Hardcover)
Marianne Williamson is in good form in "Everyday Grace," her eighth book. Her basic message is that change occurs on the level of consciousness. Through the agents of prayer, meditation, and new thought the world can be changed. She draws on a diverse source of material to support her beliefs -- the writings of Ghandi, RFK and MLK Jr., various Eastern and Western religious traditions, and American pop culture. The writing is personal, as she relays touching stories like the moment she said goodbye to her dying sister, but also universal in its desire. Those who have read Williamson's other books, and listened to her library of tapes, will be familiar with her message. Many of her ideas are based on A Course in Miracles, a kind of New Age bible that came about through channeling sessions in the '70s. Williamson is an invaluable agent to break its message down in easier and more relevant language. The message is simple, as Williamson explains it. Only love is real. When we attempt to judge others, we are ignoring the innocence in them. By focusing on their guilt, we have forgotten that we are all children of the same God. We can give up judging by asking for a miraculous intervention, a simple prayer that our thoughts be aligned with God's. Ask to see the situation through a new set of eyes and a miracle will occur. Williamson believes this works not just on a personal level but on a political one as well. We must pray for our enemies and seek to understand them. I'm sure that many will benefit from the advice Williamson offers. This book is a good one. I'd also recommend "Healing the Soul of America," an underrated tome from a few years ago.

Some readers will be inspired, others will be skeptical,
By Bookreporter (New York, New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Everyday Grace (Hardcover)
Marianne Williamson's books are informed by her profound belief in peoples' ability to find peace and strength from within. She talks about "miracles," "magic," "spirituality" and "mysticism " all in the same voice. Some consider her to be a "self-help guru." Others call her a "New Age" proselytizer, while still others consider her to be a brilliant "cult leader." The reality is that she is a friend to show biz personalities, has a radio talk show, is a television personality, has written eight books, developed "A Course on Miracles," and is a mother. Williamson has proven herself to be a woman with a vision who has followed her calling to deliver a message to all who are willing to listen. In her latest book, EVERYDAY GRACE, that message speaks to an optimism founded in what she describes as a "mystical journey" ... [of] "personal transformation [whose] path runs through ... our own psyche." She believes that every human being must explore the "mystical realm" in each of us if we are to cope with our daily lives, fully appreciate our humanity and make some kind of peace with the chaos all around us. The genesis of her proclamations lies deep within her personal convictions: "I have always had a sense that something is missing in this world". She proceeds to discuss the void, the emptiness she perceives we all feel as we strive to live our lives to the fullest: "I believe that hunger [is] for a lost dimension of experience, is natural in all of us and it doesn't go away just because we ignore it." Williamson encourages her readers to seek the "magical source" within themselves --- the place at their core where she believes miracles are born. "We wish to cultivate the sacred in the midst of the great small difficulties [we suffer]. We want spiritual principles to be more than beautiful abstractions; we want them to actually transform our lives." Sometimes the simple prose that forms EVERYDAY GRACE reads like a series of bromides --- sometimes it is very profound; sometimes the clichés jump off the page; sometimes the narrative is lyrical; sometimes readers will be convinced that just for the asking a miracle will take place; and sometimes, they will simply smile and say, "Oh yeah"? Williamson fans and those who ascribe to New Age dialectic will find solace in her words of advice, while others will be more skeptical. But, in the long run, anyone who is seeking the "Truth" or the "Answers" will probably have as much of a chance of finding them in EVERYDAY GRACE as they will anywhere else. --- Reviewed by Barbara Lipkien Gershenbaum
