Editorial Reviews

Review

“Marianne Williamson’s book is a classic. She reveals, with elegant simplicity, that love is not a mere sentiment of emotion, but the ultimate truth at the heart of creation.” — Deepak Chopra, M.D.

“With this gutsy book Marianne Williamson has single-handedly ushered in a powerful spiritual renewal. I wholeheartedly recommend your reading it.” — John Bradshaw, author of Homecoming: Reclaiming and Championing Your Inner Child and Creating Love: The Next Great Stage of Growth

“Using humorous personal narrative, Williamson explains how applying love to all difficulties, as advised by “The Course,” can aid in healing.” — Library Journal

“When I first read A Return to Love, I literally felt the excitement as I absorbed Marianne Williamson’s insights. Today, it is still a treasure to me, and Marianne is a light for the transformation of the world. You will love this book. I guarantee it.” — Wayne Dyer, author of Real Magic

“What Marianne Williamson is getting at here is that fear hides our inner light, but that when we embrace love―which is how she defines God―we connect with who we are really meant to be. I have never been more moved by a book than I am by this one.” — O Magazine

Marianne Williamson is an internationally acclaimed author and lecturer. For the last 35 years, she has been one of America’s most well-known public voices, having been a popular guest on television programs such as Oprah, Larry King Live, Good Morning America, & Bill Maher. Seven of her twelve published books have been New York Times Best Sellers and four of these were #1. The mega best seller A Return to Love is considered a must-read of The New Spirituality. A paragraph from that book, beginning “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure…” is considered an anthem for a contemporary generation of seekers.

Marianne’s other books include The Law of Divine Compensation, The Age of Miracles, Everyday Grace, A Woman’s Worth, Illuminata, Healing the Soul of America, A Course in Weight Loss, The Gift of Change, Enchanted Love, A Year of Miracles, and her newest book, Tears to Triumph: The Spiritual Journey from Suffering to Enlightenment.

Marianne is a native of Houston, Texas. In 1989, she founded Project Angel Food, a meals-on-wheels program that serves homebound people with AIDS in the Los Angeles area. To date, Project Angel Food has served over 11 million meals. Marianne also co-founded the Peace Alliance.

Marianne has dedicated her travel schedule during 2018 to the Love America Tour, articulating an evolutionary wave of new possibility as principles of higher consciousness are brought to bear on our politics.

When God nudges me by what I hear, read and watch, I move forward by reading such a book as this. My mind and Spirit were fed to overflow. Now for this book to bless the full measure of the reason for it's reading, I go forward into two action steps, of which I will keep to myself.

Very Worthwhile to Read

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 11, 2022

Verified Purchase

This is a good book, beautifully written by someone who clearly has a lot of love in her heart. There are some challenging concepts about a number of things, including forgiveness and personal responsibility and some other statements I just don't agree with, but overall, I think the book is a worthwhile read. As with anything, it isn't perfect, but it will be helpful to those looking for self-improvement/reflection and spiritual/emotional enlightenment. The print was rather small and tight and the paper wasn't the brightest so I found reading to be a bit more work than I normally like, but many of her passages resonated and many of her quotes are in my opinion, simply fantastic. I pick it up from time to time, read a bit, then allow myself some time to reflect.

Interesting once you get past the Christian Psychology

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 11, 2022

I saw this book on TikTok and it seemed like something I needed at the time, and it was! It had awesome advice and good points of views. I don’t like the Christian aspect of it, because I don’t believe in that. But, once you remind yourself of the psychology and terms for certain words, it gets easier to read. 7/10.

A book about love and focusing on your inner light, but it is held back by archaic and somewhat dangerous theological thinking

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 2, 2018

Verified Purchase

So I am not finished with this book yet (about 70% of the way) but I felt like I needed to write a review today because I got to a point in the book where things started to go a bit sideways.

I was recommended this book by someone, and I think the underlying message of the book is quite powerful. It basically teaches you to let go, focus on your inner light, aka your love, and let the rest happen as it will. I think this does wonders to curb your anxiety, and in a world were we are constantly bombarded with the collective neurosis that we constantly need to be "doing" and "making things happen," this offers a refreshingly saner perspective. It is counter-intuitive at times how, by letting things unfold as they will, we often get the things we so wanted as a by-product of focusing on our own inner light and bringing love to the world around us. This is where the message of this book is powerful.

This book does use Christian theology as the way to explain this process. So it is based a lot on faith and prayer. As an atheist, I was able to overlook this and re-frame some of this as thinking about it in terms of the universe, and allowing the universe to unfold as it will. I don't particularly believe in prayer, but again I was able to overlook this in order to follow the message of the book, which really is about love.

However, things got a bit sideways around Chapter 8. The author makes several claims, without citing any sources or studies:

1. That the pill that the doctor gives us only heals us because we believe it heals us.
2. That holistic medicine is just as effective in treating cancer as traditional medicine, because it is the patient's mental and emotional interaction with his treatment that activates the healing power.
3. That when the cure for AIDs is finally found, we will give prizes to a few scientists, but many of us will know that millions and millions of prayers helped it happen.

Especially the last one made me yell "Bullshit!" so loud that I am pretty sure I woke my neighbors. First of all, the author provides no evidence to back up the exceptional statements she makes. I don't see any studies or sources which can confirm her rather bold statements. As Hitchens said rather succinctly, "Exceptional claims demand exceptional evidence, and that which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence."

In the US especially where anti-scientific attitude is pervasive (see: anti-vaxxers) her words here are actually quite dangerous. I really hope they don't lead people down the wrong path, and that people go to qualified medical professionals for their illnesses rather than try and pray themselves to health.

So the book, which uses primarily Christian theology to explain the idea of love, unfortunately also suffers from the insanity of Christian theology in the belief that prayer can cure something like AIDs.

Has this book overall been helpful to me, personally? I would say yes, it has. There is beauty and positivity in focusing on giving love and paying attention to your inner light. However, I would only recommend this book with a warning clause that some of the statements made by the author suffer from the archaic (and potentially dangerous) thinking that plagues most theologies.

*edit: After finishing the book I still stand by my original review. One thing I wanted to add is that I have been using the “prayers” from the book (I just make them secular) as they seem to be a good way to ease anxiety and emotions when faced with difficult events or thoughts. Coupled with meditation it’s a good way to cope in harder times. The methods in this book are quite good in that regard; reframing your thoughts.

The author presents some very good ideas but falls short of any sort of biblical teaching. It would serve her well to align her statements with sound biblical teaching or avoid referring to Scripture all together.

It was a very good brief description to a' course in miracles' which I did not want to do. It helped me understand more fully my heart opening to love which was very helpful. Marianne is very frank and open, which at times may seem a bit harsh, but I looked at myself on those occassions to understand where I may be a bit harsh, it helped a lot.

I have read many, many books on spiritual development and they have all imparted invaluable lessons and guidance, but boy this one really spoke to me about me!! It's like she knew me and my fear induced limitations and so gently and lovingly showed me how to move forward and into the light. If you also feel alien, to your family and environment, read this book.. Not only will you find out why, but you will bless the feeling for this is what has brought you to Return to Love.
