"A Return to Love is based on what I have learned from A Course in Miracles. It is about some of the Course's basic principles as I understand them, and relate them to various issues that affect our daily lives. It is about the practice of love, as a strength and not a weakness, as a daily answer to the problems that confront us. How is love a practical solution? This book is written as a guide to the miraculous application of love as a balm on every wound. Whether our psychic pain is in the area of relationships, health, career, or elsewhere, love is a potent force, the cure, the Answer".  Marianne Williamson

"I hope Illuminated Prayers will be a comforting companion for those who read it. Many times my spirits have been lifted by something I found in a small spiritual volume; something I could throw in my purse and then count on to bring me back to serenity as I sat in the doctor's waiting room, stood in line at the DMV, or sat up in bed at the end of a long day. I think of prayer as a spiritual lifeline back to where I most want to be."   Marianne Williamson

Enchanted Love envisions a way of being in love with another person, and at peace with God and ourselves. It envisions a reinvention of romantic love as our newest spiritual frontier. In Enchanted Love, Marianne Williamson writes that "enchanted partnership begins with the conscious understanding, on the part of two people, that the purpose of their relationship is not so much material as spiritual, and the internal skills demanded by it are prodigious." High romance, she says, "is not about past or future. It is not about practicality. It is not about society or worldly routines. It is an audacious ride to the center of what is at the heart of every person. It is a bold and masterful inquiry into what two people really are and how we might become, while still on earth, the angels who reside within us."   Marianne Williamson
