Marianne Williamson The Healing of America
Simon & Schuster remarked: "With the publication of The Healing of America, Williamson becomes a powerful voice for social conscience in American society. While citing the virtual abandonment of social justice as a dominant political theme since the 1960's, Williamson notes historian Arthur Schlesinger's contention that Americans express renewed political interest every thirty years. This is a time, according to Williamson, for Americans to return once again to our first principles -- political and spiritual. In this landmark work, Williamson draws plans for the transformation of American political consciousness and the reemergence of powerful citizen involvement in a genuine healing of American society." Neale Donald Walsch (Conversations with God) recommended Marianne's Healing of America as one of the 10 Must Read books he listed in the afterward of his recent Conversations With God 3.

Paperback Available Now from Amazon.com > A prominent lecturer on the phenomenally popular self-study system A Course in Miracles explains how we can each become a miracle worker by accepting the God within and expressing love and forgiveness in our daily activities.
A Woman's Worth Available Now With A WOMAN'S WORTH, Marianne Williamson turns her charismatic voice--and the same empowering, spiritually enlightening wisdom that energized her landmark work, A RETURN TO LOVE-- to exploring the crucial role of women in the world today. Drawing deeply and candidly on her own experiences, the author illuminates her thought-provoking positions on such issues as beauty and age, relationships and sex, children and careers, and the reassurance and reassertion of the feminine in a patriarchal society. Cutting across class, race, religion, and gender, A WOMAN'S WORTH speaks powerfully and persuasively to a generation in need of healing, and in search of harmony. Illuminata : Thoughts, Prayers, Rites of Passage Amazon.com The first part of Illuminata expresses the
inimitable Williamson conviction in the collective spiritual revolution at hand. We are reminded that the purpose of prayer is not to gain an object of desire, or relief from one's hounding problems, or even results that are particularly discernible. The purpose is to experience God. To that end, Williamson offers seven sections on prayers, making this a practical text as well as a spirited commentary. The reader will find a vast range of prayers--daily; celebratory; those that seek relief from depression and despair; prayers for ritual; and prayers that expand into the larger realm of social justice (such as "Amends to the Native American"), demonstrating Ms. Williamson's ongoing commitment to join the political and the spiritual. Illuminated
Prayers Amazon.com Amazon.com offers dozens of books written by Marianne Williamson as well as cd rom and audio cassette versions of these books.

words of
wisdom have drawn thousands. Truth is truth, but Marianne has a wonderful way of getting
it across to the minds of the people. Now she has a book that could heal America. We need
to think and act, which is what Marianne is best at. I am sure there are many rewards
waiting for such a spiritual leader. Thank you Marianne."
"We
seek to replace an old, oppressive order, not so much politically or socially, but within
our minds where it lives and works," she writes with unbridled energy and urgency.
Although her examples of individuals who exemplify this change can be daunting, still they
offer vivid pictures of human courage and generosity. For instance, she cites the
character played by Ben Kingsley in Schindler's List as exemplifying selfless acts
of generosity in a tormented world. This suggests that her book is a kind of path through
human spiritual evolution. Indeed, for Williamson, illumination is "...the spiritual
tunnel through which the soul finds its way out of ego-bound darkness into mystical
light." 
(Healing of
America, A Return to Love) has compiled a book that gives voice to spiritual
longings and blessings. The watercolor illustrations by Claudia Karabaic Sargent offer
regality to the collection--seemingly inspired by the Book of Kells, ancient
mandalas, and golden-laced medieval tapestries. Ranging from simple prayers ("Dear
God, May my gifts begin to blossom in a way that serves Your plan") to sonnet-like
passages, Williamson's collection is striking in its ability to comfort the reader as well
as offer hope for a healthier world. --Gail Hudson
