Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
This book is based on Williamson's discovery of A Course in Miracles , a self-help guide whose provenance she doesn't explain. Age 26 at the time and feeling lost and desperate after indulging in the excesses of the 1960s, the Jewish author had no real hope for inspiration from the course because of its Christian terminology. But, she writes in this guide to the guide, the program works "miracles" for herself and for others who adopt its principles. Her extrapolations may appeal to readers in need of spiritual sustenance, but one questions Williamson's advice to the gravely ill. When she encourages them, for example, to "write a letter to AIDS or cancer or whatever illness they might have, and tell it everything they feel"--even to fabricate "replies" from the disease--readers are likely to consider that a serious situation is trivialized. Williamson is founder and president of the Los Angeles and Manhattan Center for Living, a support service. BOMC alternate; author tour.

From Library Journal
This book is based on the author's experiences as a teacher and lecturer on the self-study guide A Course in Miracles (Foundation for Inner Peace, 1975), the students of which attribute its authorship to Jesus Christ. Using humorous personal narrative, Williamson explains how applying love to all difficulties, as advised by "The Course," can aid in healing. Some may find the theories and practices presented here somewhat off-putting (e.g., Williamson counsels people with AIDS to write letters to the disease, rather than use fear and hatred to fight it). However, New Age followers or fans of Gerald Jampolsky ( One Person Can Make a Difference , LJ 11/1/90) or Louise Hay ( You Can Heal Your Life , Hay House, 1984) will enjoy this title. Purchase by demand. Previewed in Prepub Alert, LJ 10/1/91.

Simple but Profound and Urgently Needed,
This review is from: A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of "A Course in Miracles" (Paperback)
I was amazed by the simplicity of Williamson's message. God created love and everything else was invented by mankind and is based on Fear: greed, envy, need for power, etc. etc. If everyone read, and understood, and lived by this book, no-one would be afraid, and all the ills of the world would be solved. We would have no wars, hedge funds, global degradation, hunger, or any of the problems with which we live, because all these things are based on fear of not having enough, or not being able to keep it. Who wouldn't give five stars to a book like that?

This review is from: A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of "A Course in Miracles" (Paperback)
Marianne Williamson is a great storyteller and spritual leader. Recently, I have read this book for the third time and it felt like I am reading it for the first time! The material is timeless as I get something totally new out of it each time I read it.If you continually feel hurt in relationships, this is a great book to read. Regardless, it is a wonderful book.

1 of 6 books you ever need to read,

This review is from: A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of "A Course in Miracles" (Paperback)
There are only six books you need to read to turn your life around and start living a more joyful, abundant and peaceful life...this is the one to start with. Then move on to Conversations With God, book 1, book 2 & book 3 and then to Depak 's How to Know God and end with The Seat of The Soul. There you have it...the truth of it all in six books...the rest on the subject of life are variations on the same theme. These six sum it up. Return to Love will do just that...return you to love, if you dare follow it's teachings and desire such a joy filled life.
