 A wise reframing of midlife November 25, 2008
Jay J. Smith (Tallahassee, FL)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Marianne Williamson feels and writes deeply about spiritual matters, and about finding one's destiny among the spoils and ruins of youthful vigor. She lovingly probes the potential that lies before us at any age -- the potential for miracles and miraculous transformation -- but especially when our external clock has cycled into the 50s and 60s.
Her musings urge us to soften our perspective on lifestyle, personal decisions and relationships. She argues that we need to grant ourselves spiritual permission to care deeply about matters immaterial and to weave these considerations into our lives. She sprinkles her book with thoughtful prayers that we would do well to remember in daily meditation.
This is a book worth revisiting, in whole or in small bites. Each chapter stands on its own, providing guidance and comfort. Overall, the chapters nourish and complement any faith or belief system. She points to the sacred center of all belief, and asks us to align ourselves with it. While the book may seem slight to some, don't be fooled. Its sublte embrace will feel good, as hugs from those who care always do.
 Women - great book for all ages! November 24, 2008
Judee Ausnow (Penn Valley, CA USA)
Marianne's wisdom is such a welcome example of the so called "mid-life" that a lot of us currently find ourselves. I'm a firm beliver that 60 is the new 40 and I'm blessed to experience that fact each and everyday of my life. The reason it is so easy for me is the availability of books like this one that remind us of "who we really are" and show us a kinder, gentler way of "being" in this world. I would recommend this book to any woman, but especially those who don't yet understand how blessed we are to have reached this glorious mid-life experience!

Marianne Williamson is the best known interpretor of A Course in Miracles and a highly reference spiritual writer in many New Age circles. Her works over the years have reflected her thoughts and philosophies of how the Course relates to stages in life. Her lectures and writings have great appeal and this latest book is geared towards mid-life oriented wisdom. Many core beliefs are similar to those expressed in other books by Marianne. However, there is less new stuff here as other reviewers have noted. A worthy read but unless you are familiar with A Course in Miracles it may not resonate with you. The Course in Miracles has been around a long time and general acceptance of the text is a given in metropolitan areas. But the text itself has had its share of controversy.
Wonderful CD September 22, 2008

This Cd has come to me in a time of my life when I really needed to know someone else knows just how I feel. Marianne is a great speaker and does a excellent job with the aging process that we all don't want to face.
A Deeper Look Into Midlife September 2, 2008

We women are fortunate to have so many thoughtfully executed resources available to us as we approach our second half of life. As a midlife author myself, I resonated with "The Age of Miracles" and found myself cheering at our shared perspectives.
Marianne Williamson does a fabulous job of encouraging us to wake up to the bounty of life still in front of us. Her warm and witty style, generous nature and insightful perspectives beckon the reader to open up to possibilities. She refers to our midlife years of transition as "sacred years" and I wholeheartedly agree. It's time to make peace with our past and BE the woman we've become.
