Illuminata: A Return to Prayer

I was already a fan of Marianne Williamson. Not sure how I missed this book for my library. But it now sits next to my morning candle and I open it to any page for a daily lift in faith and compassion.5 Stars…

I have bought about 5 copies for family and friends. This is my prayer bible. It is wonderful, comforting, inspiring... Can't say enough about this book except - BUY IT ! ITS THE BEST

I reordered this book because after 20 years mine wore out. It makes a great gift. I love this book!!

Prayers weee nice to give you something good to think about

The second half of this book is a collection of very useful, thoughtful, and thought provoking prayers that anyone can use every day of his or her life. There is an amazing Morning Prayer, prayers for children, parents, health, forgiveness, and anything under the sun you may need to get you through today. I highly recommend this book to anyone, but especially those who wish to pray, but feel they just can not find the words. Marianne Williamson has found the words for us. They are all there. Just pick up this book and start praying the minute the you receive it! Say your favorite prayer every day and rotate those for the world and your friends throughout the week. A few must say prayers for everyone are the apologies to the Native American people for their mass slaughter and displacement; for the African American people for slavery and dehumanization, oh the deep hurt that still exists in this country. If only everyone would hold the intention of forgiveness and love for all in their hearts, our country, and the world, surely would be a better place to live.

I've bought this before, and some how lent it and it never returned. I wanted to share the wedding piece for one niece who officiated the wedding for another niece. I had used it myself. Both nieces could be classified as "spiritual but not religious", and felt that there was too much emphasis on a patriarchal God. I hadn't seen it that way before, being a student of A course in Miracles, but I do see the point. Many in the younger generation are very open and see Beloved more as non-gender Creator. It can be modified of course.

I find that you can open this book at any page and there will be something you will love to hear. Its very special.

I love this book. The author really knows how to express prayers. I take this book with me on trips, vacations, and anytime I know I will have some time to read. It is compact, easy to carry, and so easy to read. There is a prayer for every need imaginable. All of us need support and prayer to keep us grounded and this was the best way for me to incorporate the portability of a resource with me at all times. It really does come in handy. It will lighten you spirit, balance you out, and give you a reason to keep on keeping on. Thank you Amazon for supporting the spiritual life and helping us to find our niche. Thank you Ms. Williamson for appearing on Oprah and writing such powerful books that we all can share with others and help each other through these challenging times.

The most important thing in my life is Praying. Love to start my day praying. This book has the most beautiful prayers in it ! There is definitely a prayer for every situation in your life - especially if you need one or you really want to pray about something but unsure of how to pray about it !! Beautiful Book
