Rating: Summary: M. Williamson is a great inspirational writer! Review: I came across her tapes at a teacher's garage sale. The woman told me that they were great, but I had never listened to inspirational tapes before. I was hesitant, but the price was taunting so I took them home. I made the mistake of first listening to her tapes with my boyfriend in the car....not a good idea to start off with! So I dropped him off and tried again. This time without any snickers from him it was easier to give my full attention. They exceeded my expectations of what I thought the book might be about! Her words moved me to restart a new way of thinking about my own journey through life. I can't wait to read more from her! She is so inspiring!!! I think now I am going to MAKE my boyfriend listen to them. I think it would help him understand me better.... if possible!
Rating: Summary: SUPERB! Review: I don't mean to sound corny but this book, and Ms. Williamson's "Return to Love" changed my life. I gave both of these books to my mother and my sister for Christmas. I have suggested them to many other firends, and the gal that referred me to these wonderful books, we quote Marianne Williamson all the time--she has truly become a staple in our lives. I believe that God has given Ms.Williamson an extraordinary gift. That's what this book is, someone that can truly speak from God. Thank you Marianne, for sharing your gift with us!

Rating: Summary: SUPERB Review: I don't mean to sound corny, but this book and Ms. Williamson's "Return to Love" changed my life. I gave both of these books to my mother and sister for Christmas. One of my best friends turned me on to the works of Marianne Williamson--I have also the same for other friends. Feeling good about yourself, and doing good for others is priceless! It does not matter, where you are from, your age, your height, your weight. There is nothing that a woman cannot do. Marianne just helps you to realize it.
Rating: Summary: I have given away over 30 copies to friends and family. Review: I have read this book over and over and listen to the tapes constantly. It is the most enlightening book that I think a woman can read. It is written for all ages, religions, and backgrounds. I have given away over 30 copies to friends and family. I would suggest this to any woman who searches for the true meaning of femininity.
Rating: Summary: Hmphf. Review: I haven't read this book, to be honest. Yet, knowing that Marianne Williamson touts "A Course in Miracles" as the source of her spiritual guidance, how does she justify "a woman's worth" and prayer to a "goddess" when the Course specifically states that we are not bodies, and that the sole source of our illusion of a world is the idea of separation? Did she even read the Course? "A Return to Love" was incredibly inconsistent with Course teachings. She does NOT paraphrase accurately. While I think it's wonderful that her books bring more joy into peoples' lives, please read the Course yourself. Don't rely on Marianne for an interpretation.
Rating: Summary: I give this book to all my women friend who are hurting Review: I love this book. I wish the woman who panned it would give it a read. I agree that some of the author's other books are ... narrowly focused. This book, however, is not. It made me feel better about being a woman. It helped me apprecate the differences between women and men. It has helped me heal after being hurt in relationship. It has made me feel better about my "imperfect" body. It makes me feel beautiful and powerful and valuable - in a word - WORTHY of a wonderful life. It also points out to me that having a wonderful life is my responsibility. It may contain a romantic relationship - it may not - but it can still be wonderful.
Rating: Summary: Good book for understanding the woman's perspective! Review: I read this book and discovered more about the female perspective.This book is for other men who want to understand a woman's spirituality and perspective.
Rating: Summary: Worth a whole lot of underlining Review: I read, I stop, I underline, I think, I smile a knowing smile. I read, I stop, I underline, I make a note about my worth. I read, I stop, I remember why I am here and honor all of the women before me. Whether I knew those women or not, they carved out the path of my existence. Their tears are the oceans I swim in and they set me afloat. I have read two other of Marianne Williamson's books, but those don't even compare to the simple, bold, in your face message of the value of your worth as a woman. I wish Marianne had a twin brother to write A Man's Worth, but she does graciously pay tribute to Sam Keen's Fire in the Belly on the very first page. See, always a woman to think of others and nurture the universe! Mostly, Madame Williamsons' book just made me feel so worthy of the gift of me. I am accountable to and of myself and it is my obligation to share the best of myself. So many juicy quotes, so many rich, alive, statements. This book HONORS MEN and WOMEN and CHILDREN simply by recognizing the golden opportunity we each have in being in love and living of love every day. That is the essence of all of our worth.
Rating: Summary: A Must-Read for Every Woman Review: I would never have believed that a book could have such an profound impact on my life. But this book did just that. It gave me a new way of looking at everything: myself, other women, men, God, sex, and the list goes on and on. A Woman's Worth opens your eyes to all the beauty in yourself and in the world. And there is so much beauty to behold. I highly recommend this book particularly if you or a friend has hit a rocky patch in life. I was down so low when I read this book, I wasn't sure where I could turn for help. But the book gave me the inspiration to open my heart and acknowledge my own worth and that was the first step towards healing. Marianne Williamson has an amazing gift and I thank God that she shares it with the rest of us.
