Illuminated Prayers [Hardcover]

Marianne Williamson (Author), Claudia Karabaic Sargent (Illustrator)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 2, 1997

"I think of prayer as a spiritual lifeline back to where I most want to be," Marianne Williamson writes in this new book of universal prayers. Prayer is a powerful force that can lift spirits, guide journeys, and heal the heart. Illunimanted Prayers is a small volume of spiritual wisdom to bring the power of prayer into our daily lives.

Illustrated in the manner of an illuminated manuscript, Illuminated Prayers offers a treasured keepsake of the power and enduring relevance of Williamson's message: Prayerilluminates our souls, and with prayer we can change the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a treasure., March 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Illuminated Prayers (Hardcover)

I bought this book for my nephew who is battling cancer. There are very special prayers in this book; one was particulary applicable to his situation. I marked the page of the book containing the prayer most pertinent to him. He was extremely touched by the book and, I hope it brought him a measure of spirituality that he hadn't felt before. The book is very comforting and very beautiful. I am getting a copy for myself so he and I can discuss the prayers when he is up to it. I wanted him to have something to hang onto when times are rough. I think he has been helped by this book, and so have I.

This is an excellent gift for people who are very spiritual or people who have no spiritual underpinnings. The illustrations are enchanting, and the prayers are what I've always wanted to say to God, but was just never able to.

5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect gift ..., May 24, 2000

This review is from: Illuminated Prayers (Hardcover)

My family recently suffered the loss of two small children ... one to illness, the other to a tragic accident. This book contains so many uplifting and healing prayers; I bought one for everyone in the family who has been questioning 'why us?', including one for myself. This is a gem that will be truly cherished for a lifetime.
