The Gift of Change

Amazing wisdom

Marianne Williamson is a great storyteller and she explains so well the philosophy behind a Course in Miracles. Well worth reading and thinking about! She has a great voice too.

There really is only one problem...

'We might think we have 22 different problems, but we really only have one problem - our disconnect from our god' - Marianne Williamson.

I found that in this audio book Marianne oscillates between talking specifically about dealing with change (uncertainty) and between a general commentary on living well!

I personally found it very insightful. I like how she makes sure people see her as a 'down to earth' individual who struggles herself, at times, just like everyone else, through sharing of personal experiences and stories!

Brilliant, deep, profound.

I am a sophisticated lawyer, with my own law firm. I sm continually grateful to Marianne for sharing her deep introspection, reflection, and analysis. :-)

Stealth Christian Course in Miracles

I should have been warned by the way god was mentioned in several of the points this author advocates, but I wasn't. I began listening to this book thinking that it was advocating a spiritual, but not dogmatically Christian way of approaching change. When the author said in the preface to the book that her writing by a "Course in Miracles," something never mentioned in the reviews or summaries of this book, I knew I had wasted my money. If you are a Christian, you may find this book satisfactory, but for me, a Unitarian-Universalist with no particular dogma to my beliefs, this book was too heavy on the Christian message. This is unfortunate, because many elements of the author's message could be framed in a more eccumenical way that emphasizes the spiritual without equating spiritual with Christian. Change affects all of us, and if you set dogma aside, the ways that different religions deal with change are more alike than different. It is too bad the author did not recognize this or describe it.

Exceptionally endearing to those 50+

It is time well spent. Encouraging to know that God still has plans for me.

Excellent

There are times when you are floundering around thinking, wondering ..... Where am I to go? What's next? Especially as your life is changing .... This book has helped me to realize that one needs to stop listening to mainstream and go find your stream ..... Thank you😊🙏

Excellent Teaching

Marianne teaches practical ways to be a miracle and receive miracles in our life. Anyone on their life journey and aware that they are on a journey would benefit from reading "The Gift of Change". Marianne is a student of "A Course in Miracles" and she is able to leach it with clear examples and guidance.

awakening

excellent,both informative and enlightening ...I found her voice to be soothing, interesting and easy to stay connected

A life changing book

She broke down spiritually in a way I can understand it. I listen to it everyday. I don't know if it is because I like content or I just like her voice
