"This was a lovely experience as an audio book because Marianne Williamson's voice is so sincere and soothing as she reads through these gentle prayers that are on a variety of topics. However, it's nice to have a hard copy of the book as well for frequent future reference. Williamson's overall premise is that life is all about love, and that a life without heart is a life without life force (or chi, as the Chinese call it). She explains her choice of the book's title in Chapter 2: ""Illunination is not of this world. It lifts us above the lies of the world by helping us to detach from them. Illumination is both our source and our destiny, and the reason we came here and the reason we stay" (23). Most of the rest of the book consists of suggested prayers for various types of people and situations. There are daily prayers, prayers for the soul, prayers for the body, for relationships, for healing, for work, creativity and for the rest of the world. Her prayer of Amends to the African-American is particularly touching. "For the evils of racism throughout our history, Please forgive me and please forgive this country . . . May the spirit of this amends bring peace to your soul. Truly, you have waited long" (214-15). I also liked her prayer on money, part of which states, "I want money to flow freely into me and through me, that it might bless my life and the lives of others." Whenever I start to feel miserly or financially threatened, I think of that line about money flowing "through me," and I feel a lot more secure. Really, there is hardly a life's experience that isn't covered by one of Williamson's prayers. This is truly a book that has something to comfort everyone."
"I read from this book every day. It has broadened, blessed, and enlightened my spiritual journey a great deal. I have given several copies out to people who have ALL said that it has blessed them as well."
"gorgeous beautiful real prayers......come to think of it, where is my copy of this book....was a gift from one of my dearest friends... uh oh, where is it????"
"I was looking for a book of prayers and found this in the second hand book store. She has some beautiful prayers in here that say what your heart is saying when you do not have the words. She has daily prayers, prayers for difficult situations, a prayer for your child that I prayed often over one of mine. I keep it by my bedside and often read the prayers. Oprah quotes her prayers often I've noticed."
