Summary: A MUST read and re-read book for the soul
Review: Marianne takes such a monumental task (taking ACIM to an every day level), and makes it seem like child's play. It is obvious Marianne was centered and balanced, and allowed Spirit to guide her through the writing of this book. Her clarity of thought shines through and into mySELF, wherever it is needed. I recommend this book constantly. Sharon Elaine, author of The Book of Affirmations

Summary: It's a must for women of any age, race or background
Review: This book was recommended to me by a women of a different race then myself.
I must admit that I was somewhat leary about the book being that is was recommended
to me by someone of complete opposition (in terms of race, age and cultural backroom). Regardless of your background; "A Woman's Worth" is something all women can relate to.
It's an inspirational tool that should be refered to daily. By reading this book, you will
discover the true beauty and essence of femininity.

Summary: This is the answer!!!!
Review: I asked a friend of mine why she was so happy; so radiant all the time. She told me she keeps a copy of her "bible" with her at all times & showed me this book. She said she reads it over & over again & it reminds her of what's important. The summer I read this book & A Woman's Worth changed me forever. I will never let myself be so dragged down by petty, selfish thoughts that I forget what's "real." I've let the love shine through me & people actually ask me now how I can be so content & happy all the time. When I find myself falling I read a chapter or two that applies to the situation & I'm back again. Fear really IS the absence of love

Summary: Beautiful! Read it!
Review: When I am feeling discouraged, stressed out, etc. this is one of the first books I reach for.Although Williamson draws her inspiration from A Course in Miracles, this book has much to offer to people of any or no faith, including people like myself who find A Course in Miracles to be unintelligible.Her loving approach to the common problems everyone faces at one time or another--self esteem, relationships, work, health...--is a refreshing change from conventional wisdom, which often seems to emphasize power over rather than power within. Helpful, gentle, intelligent, and inspiring.

Summary: for the spritually inclined,it emanates genuine love.
Review: Marianne Williamson brings forth a positive, warm shinning light to her readers. At a time where everyone seems more
occupied with their personal dilemmas than enveloping in
loving and giving relationships, Williamson commends those
who give unconditionally.
In a conversational tone, this books speaks from a knowledgeable mind to bruised hearts. Life is part of
living and loving and learning. It breaks down the walls of our fears. I absoloutley recommend it.

Summary: This book is a gift of love you will make to yourself
Review: This book is a gift of love. Is a return to the most intimate self we lost, to the inocence of our childhood, to the magical world of unconditional love. I reccomend it to my patients, specially those who ask big questions, to those who cannot anymore accept the intricacies of this world. Get ready to travel to the most beautiful expanses of your soul, and mine...

Summary: A life changing book about self empowerment through love.
Review: Marianne's book is nothing short of an incredible journey that
takes the reader through the author's personal life changing involvement with a 'Course in Miracles', and perfectly clarifies it's (ACIM's) basic precepts about what love is and isn't. A friend of mine suggested I purchase and read a 'Course in Miracles' along with 'A Return to Love'. This is a recommendation
I now make to anyone who is looking for guidance, clarity, and comfort
on their life's journey. I hope you will also read this amazing book that changed my life for the better.

Summary: A warm fuzzy false feeling: she is NOT a therapist
Review: Marianne Williamson is NOT a therapist. She is a former child of the 60's who dabbled in nightclub singing whilst going through man after man, city after city, and job after job. The Course in Miracles certainly helped her but most of her success is based on being the unofficial interpreter of the material. Williamson has lectured that there is no such thing as illness and death because they are an illusion. Back in the late 80's she declared a cure for AIDS would happen soon. Let's see ... amidst her double speak and ocassional references to Werner Erhard (of est fame) it seems like she didn't know what she was talking about. If illness and death aren't real and only manifestations of fear ... then Williamson's sister is not dead and there is no such thing as AIDS. Who appointed her interpretations the gold standard of Course in Miracles teachings? If you buy what Marianne is selling you may just get the exact results in your life that she has in hers: single motherhood, men leaving her, romantic break-ups, and writings consumed with with Marianne talking about her core issues that still plague her. Her books and lectures are one big shared therapy insight session of a neurotic woman who seemed emotionally love-starved and is using psuedo-spirituality to palliate her angst.
If you want to read some really helpful books ... pick up Cheryl Richardson (at least she is certified to coach people and is happily married for the past 13 years), Debbie Ford (an actual trained counselling professional), or Laura Berman Fortgang (another certified coach, married for several years, and mother of three). All these women authors have the result of an enduring love and qualifications to prove it. Life is not about degrees, diplomas, or cetificates but results. Look at Williamsons' results compared to other self-growth writers. Choose lesson carefully.

Summary: A time of awakening
Review: Marianne Williamson is one of the great authors and teachers of our day. She is a part of a great awakening where people turn their backs on old religious doctrine for a more progressive spirituality. The time is here now, where we are awakening to Love. She joins other great teachers like Dr. Buscaglia, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and Mahatma Gandhi in reminding us of the great power that is within us and the great power of love and compassion. Thank you for this wonderful book.
