A Year of Miracles: Daily Devotions and Reflections (The Marianne Williamson Series) Paperback – Day to Day Calendar, December 29, 2015

This book is one to have in the library and to gift to another person who is special in your life.

I just received my beautiful hard cover copy, and opened at random to Day 247 - Today I Will Not Play Small. "Today I will not allow false modesty to keep me from claiming the power within me. God has placed it there to be used on His behalf, and I serve no one by hiding my light. Pretending to be less than I am is a game that I play at my peril. In truth I have only scratched the surface of the gifts I can give to the world...."A Year of Miracles has already started my new year of 2014 on the right thought. I love, love, this book! I am so happy that I decided on the hard cover, as this generous and stunning book will be my closest companion displayed on my family room table for the whole year and more. Since, I am delighted to have Marianne's precious words of Grace to illuminate my thoughts closer at hand for family and friends.I have been a devout follower of Marianne and ACIM student since 1992. This is the first book that resonates in a powerful way with Mike Dooley's incredible Notes From The Universe that I love. However, what's even more is Marianne's creative power of thought-through reflections of magnificent prayer. I never tire of reading her beautiful words that transpire the Grace of God throughout the pages of "A Year of Miracles." No one prays quite like Marianne and communicates with words that speak directly to our hearts."Thus shall God's purposes be accomplished on earth as they are in heaven...." are words of Grace recited in one of Marianne's speeches and explains every page in this book to perfection.I highly recommend this book to everyone.Thank you so much, Marianne.Catherine NagleAuthor of Imprinted Wisdom

It is a fine display of thoughts that make one ponder this moment,

These daily devotions are a jewel. They make you think hard about being the best person you can possibly be. Also reminds me that we are a collective body on earth and if I hurt others, which I never do intentionally, I hurt the collective body of God. Some profound readings. I would recommend for those who want to go deeper in their spiritual journey.

Marianne Williamson delivers an inspiring book, based on daily devotions and reflections that are peaceful, and comforting. This book is a helpful guide to our way of thinking the thoughts that break the chains of fear. The author explains that we become miracle workers, and must begin with ourselves first.Marianne Williamson reminds us to think about the things we should be grateful for, why the mind is Cause and the world is Effect, and how we can change the world by changing the thoughts we have about it. In addition, the author talks about happiness and peace, how forgiveness can set us free of pain and if we provide the light, there shall be no darkness.On Day 1, God lives within my heart. Day 5 is Reflection, The Miracle Of Surrender, and advice on personal transformation, and healing. On Day 7, we need God's help, and he needs our hands and feet to work through us. On Day 17, no matter what the problem is, the solution is love. The author also directs the reader to focus on love, no matter what situation we are in. This inspiring book is comforting as it portrays ways to find peace and tranquility, is motivating, and is beautifully written. Highly recommended!

I am slowly returning to the power of prayer in my life. After my mother transitioned in 1996, my building frustration with the Catholic Church soon turned into complete rejection. It is my belief that the Catholic Church kept me and millions of other Catholics in a constant state of fear. My mother was a deeply religious and devout catholic. She had a tremendously giving heart. She was well loved and respected in our neighborhood. Because of this and many more things , I felt she was a saint. My father was also a good man who was also a good catholic. I grew up in a very religious home. There were lots of religious artifacts in nearly every room.but instead of it bringing me comfort, it made me more present to what I did wrong and the artifacts were constant reminders of my failures to be as good a person as my parents.So I walked away from the church collapsing prayer with being false. However, I cannot deny the power of prayer in saving me from a bad relationship and opening me up to a life where many of my dreams came to fruition. From 1985-86, I was in constant prayer. Slowly my life began to blossom.After my mother transitioned, it seemed nearly every weekly homily/sermon was a damnation of many things that were indelible part of who I am.i couldn't hear much that was uplifting.So because of my rejection of the church, I stopped the practice of prayer.I am slowly realizing how much prayer was comforting. I began slowly adapting some of my prayer practices. I have had a recurring dream of being lost, trapped, in danger. I had a dream analyst analyze my dream and it ultimately said I need to return to the practices that give me confidence and comfort and that feeling of security I received from my parents.And then this book arrives. Also in one of my deeply painful times, I discovered Marianne and even got a chance to see her in New York a couple of times.This book couldn't be more timely. I thank Marianne again and the power of prayer.
