The Gift of Changeby Marianne Williamson
Based largely on principals from A Course in Miracles, Marianne Williamson’s latest book offers hope for a new and better world.
Change is good. Change is necessary. Yet we so often fight it, wanting nothing more than to cling to the familiar. Williamson speaks of change as an opportunity to become the people God intends us to be, and to claim the gifts God has reserved for us.
Too many of us, Williamson says, believe we don’t deserve to have goodness in our lives. If we’re not suffering, we’re not on a proper spiritual path. This is not only untrue, but is the polar opposite of what God intends for our lives. By releasing control, worry and doubt, we can turn everything over to God with an expectation of results that will bring blessing to not only ourselves, but to all those around us, and to the world.
This message isn’t new, but Williamson has a way of making it sound personal and, more importantly, doable. Her straightforward presentation of profound, life-changing ideas gives the reader the hope that we can, indeed, embrace the gift of change, and through that acceptance bring about a far better world.
