The phenomenal #1 bestseller – preorder Marianne Williamson’s latest, picking up where A Return to Love left off: The Mystic Jesus This mega-bestselling spiritual guide has become a classic. Marianne Williamson shares her reflections on A Course in Miracles and her insights on the application of love in the search for inner peace. Williamson reveals how we each can become a miracle worker by accepting God and by the expression of love in our daily lives. Whether psychic pain is in the area of relationships, career, or health, she shows us how love is a potent force, the key to inner peace, and how by practicing love we can make our own lives more fulfilling while creating a more peaceful and loving world for our children.

From activist, spiritual leader, New York Times-bestselling author, and 2020 presidential candidate Marianne Williamson comes a prayer for healing America Prayer is practical, Williamson tells us. “To look to God is to look to the realm of consciousness that can deliver us from the pain of living.” Illuminata delivers prayer into our daily lives with prayers on topics from releasing anger to finding forgiveness, from finding great love to achieving intimacy. There are prayers for couples, for parents, and for children, prayers to mend broken relationships and prayers to overcome obsessive and compulsive love. There are prayers to heal the soul, prayers to heal the body, and prayers for work and creativity. Williamson also gives us prayers for the healing of America, including a prayer of amends on behalf of European Americans to African Americans and one to Native Americans. How, Williamson asks, can we expect anyone to forgive when we have made no formal apology? “Read my prayers or someone else’s,” Williamson says. “By all means, create your own.” Illuminata brings prayer into practical use, creating a sweeter, more abundant life. “No conventional therapy,” she says, “can release us from a deep and abiding psychic pain. Through prayer we find what we cannot find elsewhere: a peace that is not of this world.”

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. 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.

"The only way to gain power in a world that is moving too fast is to learn to slow down. And the only way to spread one''s influence wide is to learn to go deep. The world we want for ourselves and our children will not emerge from electronic speed but rather from a spiritual stillness that takes root in our souls. Then, and only then, will we create a world that reflects the heart instead of shattering it." --from the Introduction In this honest and uplifting book, bestselling author Marianne Williamson delves deeply into the powerful role of change in our lives today. Far from being something to fear and avoid, she says, every change -- even the most difficult and painful -- gives us an opportunity to receive the miraculous gift of personal transformation. The only real failure in life, she observes, is the failure to grow from what we go through. We will find real growth when we reorient ourselves using an eternal compass of spiritual principles, which alone can guide us on this path to wholeness. By fixing our eyes on the things that don''t change, Williamson leads us across ten key bridges of transformation: From Forgetting Who We Are to Remembering Who We Are From Negative Thinking to Positive Love From Anxiety to Atonement From Asking God to Change the World to Praying That He Change Us From Living in the Past and Future to Living in the Present From Focus on Guilt to Focus on Innocence From Separation to Relationship From Spiritual Death to Rebirth From Your Plan to God''s Plan From Who We Were to Who We Are Becoming These ten simple but profound changes empower us to see life''s transitions as opportunities for growth and rebirth, providing not only keys for shaping our lives today, but also hope for transforming our world into a place of greater love and peace.

Building on the wisdom and compassion that has won her millions of fans and followers, Williamson teaches readers the keys to bringing spiritual values into their own lives, into their communities, and into the country as a whole.

Bring positive change to your life with #1 New York Times bestselling author Marianne Williamson – preorder her latest, The Mystic Jesus, picking up where A Return to Love left off In this stirring call to arms, the activist, spiritual leader, and New York Times bestselling author of the classic A Return to Love confronts the cancerous politics of fear and divisiveness threatening the United States today, urging all spiritually aware Americans to return to—and act out of—our deepest value: love. America’s story is one of great social achievement. From the Abolitionists who fought to outlaw slavery, to the Suffragettes who championed women’s right to vote, to the Civil Rights proponents who battled segregation and institutionalized white supremacy, to the proponents of the women’s movement and gay rights seeking equality for all, citizens for generations have risen up to fulfill the promise of our nation. Over the course of America’s history, these activists have both embodied and enacted the nation’s deepest values. Today, America once again is in turmoil. A spiritual cancer of fear threatens to undo the progress we have achieved. Discord and hatred are dissolving our communal bonds and undermining the spirit of social responsibility—the duty we feel toward one another. In this powerful spiritual manifesto, Marianne Williamson offers a tonic for this cultural malignancy. She urges us to imitate the heroes of our past and live out our deepest spiritual commitment: where some have sown hatred, let us now sow love. Williamson argues that we must do more than respond to external political issues. We must address the deeper, internal causes that have led to this current dysfunction. We need a new, whole-person politics of love that stems not just from the head but from the heart, not just from intellectual understanding but from a genuine affection for one another. By committing to love, we will make a meaningful contribution to the joyful, fierce and disruptive energies that are rising at this critical point in time. In the words of Abraham Lincoln, "we must think anew, and act anew . . . and then we shall save our country."

As seen on OWN’s Super Soul Sunday! The need for change as we get older—an emotional pressure for one phase of our lives to transition into another—is a human phenomenon, neither male nor female. There simply comes a time in our lives—not fundamentally different from the way puberty separates childhood from adulthood—when it’s time for one part of ourselves to die and for something new to be born. The purpose of this book by best-selling author and lecturer Marianne Williamson is to psychologically and spiritually reframe this transition so that it leads to a wonderful sense of joy and awakening. In our ability to rethink our lives lies our greatest power to change them. What we have called "middle age" need not be seen as a turning point toward death. It can be viewed as a magical turning point toward life as we’ve never known it, if we allow ourselves the power of an independent imagination, utilizing thought-forms that don’t simply flow in a perfunctory manner from ancient assumptions handed down to us, but rather flower into new archetypal images of a humanity just getting started at 45 or 50. What we’ve learned by that time, from both our failures as well as our successes, tends to have humbled us into purity. When we were young, we had energy but were clueless about what to do with it. Today, we have less energy, perhaps, but we have far more understanding of what each breath of life is for. And now at last, we have a destiny to fulfill—not a destiny of a life that’s simply over, but rather a destiny of a life that is finally truly lived. Midlife is not a crisis; it’s a time of rebirth. It’s not a time to accept your death; it’s a time to accept your life—and to finally, truly live it, as you and you alone know deep in your heart it was meant to be lived.

Williamson, "envisions a way of being in love with another person and at peace and at one with God and with ourselves."

Wealth and abundance are our divine right, learn to embrace prosperity with #1 New York Times bestselling author Marianne Williamson – preorder her latest, The Mystic Jesus, picking up where A Return to Love left off In The Law of Divine Compensation, revered spiritual guide Marianne Williamson teaches how, with faith in God’s promise of love and abundance for all, we need never fear the future. There are two realms that we have the ability to inhabit: the physical realm and the spiritual realm. In the physical realm, we find ourselves stressed by debt, unemployment, health bills, and more. While these fears are real, we don’t have to find ourselves stuck there. Instead, we can enter the spiritual realm, where God has promised to make abundance and prosperity available to us all. We do not need to be worried; we do not need to be preoccupied with our current financial situation; we do not need to fear the future. We just need to have the right mindset, the right faith that the power of God can and will work with the universe to produce miracles in our lives. If we live our lives to the best of our abilities, God will work with the universe to help give us everything we need.

In this groundbreaking exploration, three New York Times bestselling authors—Debbie Ford (The Dark Side of the Light Chasers, Why Good People Do Bad Things), Marianne Williamson (The Age of Miracles, A Return to Love), and Deepak Chopra (Jesus: A Story of Enlightenment)—deliver a comprehensive and practical guide to harnessing the power of our dark side.

Now updated with new material by #1 New York Times bestselling author and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Marianne Williamson, the twentieth anniversary edition of Healing the Soul of America shares her timeless, visionary message of political healing. In the twentieth anniversary edition of Healing the Soul of America, Marianne Williamson reclaims her powerful voice for social conscience in American society. This is a time, according to Williamson, for Americans to return once again to our first principles, both politically and spiritually. Here, Williamson draws plans to transform the American political consciousness and encourage powerful citizen involvement to heal our society. With updated material throughout, Williamson explores the current state of American politics, reminding us of her theory of holistic politics—the convergence of political activists looking toward spiritual wisdom and spiritual contemplatives extending their service into the political landscape. She believes that a morally concerned American must now take an active stand in turning this country away from its current identity as a nation obsessively in love with its money to a nation more seriously invested in all of its children and the potential brilliance of every citizen. “Marianne Williamson…is attempting to…help not only her followers but an entire nation” (People). In the wake of the current political dysphoria, with countless tragedies consistently on the nightly news, America is facing a time of immense division. Political parties that completely polarize friends and family, mass shootings, threats of nuclear war, and a lack of confidence in our governmental leaders show that the country is in desperate need of restoration. We need a new paradigm of political understanding, a moral commitment to express it, and a new kind of activism to bring it forth. Healing the Soul of America is a blueprint for all three and there has never been a more urgent need.

Far from something to fear and avoid, she says, every change—even the most difficult and painful—gives us an opportunity to receive the miraculous gift of personal transformation into what we are capable of becoming.

We will find real growth, Williamson gently teaches us, when we reorient ourselves with an eternal compass of spiritual principles, which alone can guide us on this path to wholeness.

Heal by embracing your pain with #1 New York Times bestselling author Marianne Williamson – preorder her latest, The Mystic Jesus, picking up where A Return to Love left off The internationally recognized teacher, speaker, and New York Times bestselling author of A Return to Love argues that our desire to avoid pain is actually detrimental to our lives, disconnecting us from our deepest emotions and preventing true healing and spiritual transcendence. Marianne Williamson is a bestselling author, world-renowned teacher, and one of the most important spiritual voices of our time. In Tears to Triumph, she argues that we—as a culture and as individuals—have learned to avoid facing pain. By doing so, we are neglecting the spiritual work of healing. Instead of allowing ourselves to embrace our hurt, we numb it, medicate it, dismiss it, or otherwise divert our attention so that we never have to face it. In refusing to acknowledge our suffering, we actually prolong it and deny ourselves the opportunity for profound wisdom—ultimately limiting our personal growth and opportunity for enlightenment. Frozen by denial, we are left standing in the breech. Whole industries profit from this immobility, and while they have grown rich, we have become spiritually poorer. As Marianne makes clear, true healing and transcendence can only come when we finally face our pain and wrestle with what it has to teach us. Written with warm compassion and profound wisdom, Tears to Triumph offers us a powerful way forward through the pain, to a deeper awareness of our feelings, our lives, and our true selves.

Returning to the topic of her beloved classic bestseller Return to Love, spiritual guide Marianne Williamson builds on the ideas introduced in that book to lead us toward the light through the inspiring guidance of the mystic Jesus. In Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles, Marianne Williamson revealed how we each become miracle-workers when expressing love and forgiveness in our everyday lives. With The Mystic Jesus, Williamson reveals the role of Jesus in the teachings of the Course. For many, Jesus has become a precious relic, revered yet lacking the immediacy of authentic spiritual force. In The Mystic Jesus, Williamson writes of a Jesus who transcends both glib imagery and outdated religious dogma. She writes not only of an historical Messiah but of a spirit alive in all of us today. Williamson brings to The Mystic Jesus her talent at making the densest theological theories relevant to our everyday lives. She merges psychological and religious understanding, presenting Jesus as a guide to another way of thinking, therefore the builder of another kind of world. The Jesus in The Mystic Jesus truly is, in the words of St. Augustine, “ever ancient, ever new.” The Jesus presented here is a radical love, an ever-present teacher, an evolutionary elder brother, and a savior from the fear-based, twisted thinking that dominates our world. The Mystic Jesus is both theological and practical, signature Williamson in both its intellectual clarity and emotional impact.

A collection of universal prayers illustrated in the manner of an illuminated medieval manuscript.

„A legmélyebb félelmünk nem az, hogy kevesek vagyunk. A legmélyebb félelmünk az, hogy végtelenül erősek vagyunk. Nem a sötétség, hanem a belőlünk áradó fény az, ami a leginkább megfélemlít minket.” Kivételes mélységű útmutató, amelyben Marianne Willamson megosztja az olvasóval érzéseit és elmélkedéseit A csodák tanítása spirituális klasszikussal kapcsolatban, és arról, milyen csodákra képes önmagában a szeretet. Marianne a kezünkbe adja a benső béke kulcsát: a szeretet bámulatos erejében rejlő csodát. Megmutatja, miként válhat mindnyájunkból csodatevő, ha a szeretetet választjuk, és ezt tesszük meg életünk középpontjává. Nem kell mást tennünk, mint szívvel-lélekkel élni mindennapjainkat egy teljesebb életért, hogy egy békésebb és szeretettel teli világot teremthessünk meg a gyermekeink számára. „Egy klasszikus.” – Deepak Chopra „Egy kincs.” – Wayne Dyer „E könyvem mondanivalója azon alapul, amit A csodák tanításából tanultam. A Tanítás alapelveiről szól, ahogyan én értelmezem és alkalmazom ezeket a mindennapi életben. A Visszatérés a szeretethez azt az üzenetet közvetíti, hogy a szeretet erősít, nem pedig gyengít bennünket, és mindig a megoldást jelenti, valahányszor problémákkal szembesülünk. A könyvet minden sebre gyógyírt jelentő balzsamnak szántam, útmutatóul a szeretet csodájának alkalmazásához. Mindegy, hogy a kapcsolataink, az egészségi állapotunk, a karrierünk vagy más dolgok miatt állunk ki lelki kínokat; a szeretet ereje a hatékony gyógymód, a válasz.” Marianne Williamson nemzetközileg elismert író, előadó, politikai aktivista, spirituális tanító. Tizennégy könyve jelent meg, ezek közül négy a New York Times bestsellerek listájának első helyére került. A Newsweek magazin nemzedéke egyik legbefolyásosabb személyiségének nevezte.

La necesidad de un cambio a medida que envejecemos, una presión emocional para que una fase de nuestras vidas haga su transición hacia otra fase, es un fenómeno humano, tanto en los hombres como en las mujeres. Simplemente, llega un momento en nuestras vidas –que no es básicamente diferente del modo en que la pubertad separa la infancia de la adultez- en que es hora de que una parte de nosotros muera y nazca algo nuevo. El propósito de este libro de la escritora y autora de libros de mayor venta, Marianne Williamson es replantear psicológica y espiritualmente esta transición para que conduzca a una maravillosa sensación de alegría y despertar. En nuestra capacidad de reconsiderar nuestra vida yace nuestro mayor poder para cambiarla. Lo que hemos llamado "mediana edad" no debe ser considerado como un punto de partida hacia la muerte. Se puede ver como un punto de partida mágico hacia la vida, si nos permitimos el poder de una visión independiente, por medio de formas que no fluyan de manera superficial basada en suposiciones antiguas transmitidas por generaciones, sino más bien en florecer con nuevas imágenes arquetípicas de un ser humano que está apenas empezando de nuevo a los 45 o 50 años. Lo que hemos aprendido hasta ese momento, tanto de nuestros fracasos como de nuestros éxitos, tiende a hacernos sentir humildad y conducirnos a la pureza. Cuando éramos jóvenes, teníamos energía pero no teníamos idea de qué hacer con ella. Hoy, tenemos menos energía, quizás, pero tenemos una mayor comprensión sobre el propósito de cada aliento de vida. Y ahora, por fin, tenemos un destino que cumplir: no el destino de una vida que simplemente ha terminado, sino más bien el destino de una vida que finalmente se vive realmente. La mediana edad no es una crisis; es un tiempo de renacimiento. No es el momento de aceptar tu muerte; es un momento para aceptar tu vida y finalmente vivirla de verdad, ya que tú y solo tú sabes de corazón lo que significa vivir.
