In the introduction, Williamson urges the reader to go beyond being a seeker of the truth. She states that she wrote Everyday Grace as a "traveling companion for the modern mystic" who is on the journey of personal transformation. According to Williamson, "Our spiritual victory lies in rising above the mental forces of fear and limitation...thus attaining the power to heal and be healed." That appears to be the destiny when we embark on a journey as a mystic.

Inspirational and down-to-earth, full of insight into the possibilites of the world we can create, if we become conscious enough to let it happen...


"Our choice to stand within a field of infinite possibility is our miraculous authority in any situation."

“Each day can be a glorious canvas painted by the hand of God, and we pray for eyes with which to see it.”

“From a spiritual perspective anything negative that happens has only one purpose: to f More...

Loved reading this this morning:
"A moment of silence is our cosmic reset button. My niece, Meredith, is a third grade teacher, and she puts a moment of silence to great use when her students are beginning to spin out of control. "Stop!" she says, putting a hand out in front of her like the Supremes singing, "Stop, in the name of love!" Then she says, "Take a deep breath," and inhales. Then she taps the fingers of one hand to the side of her head, cou More...

Although I don't agree with all of Williamson's theological explanations, this book struck a chord. Love and being in harmony with God's will truly can heal each of us and all of us at the same time. I've always loved reading books with True principles from all religions, and this one did not disappoint.

This book contains some really great nuggets. Marianne knows how to break things down into language that makes so much clear sense. Some of it I kind of skimmed through, but there was one part that really motivated me and actually made a big difference in how I begin each day. I liked A Return To Love better, but this is very much worth reading.

This is an extremely powerful book, especially if you're questioning your relationship with a higher power. I found Williamson's references to Cinderella and Harry Potter amusing and relatable. It was an easy read but that doesn't mean the content wasn't meaningful. Williamson chooses her words and her examples carefully; every idea she poses is meant to invoke a reaction. I keenly felt her points and was left quite thoughtful after I put the book down. The idea of "everyday grace" wil More...

There was some thought provoking things in this book. It was a little too generic at times. I liked that the chapters were short so the book could be read at a slower pace with time to contemplate the concepts.

This title was South Austin Spiritual Book Group's pick for March of 2011.
The book was well edited and had practical suggestions that I am actually using in my daily life now.

However, many of the members of our group felt that "Return to Love", Williamson's first book, was far superior
to this one and that her voice is not as authentic as it was in the beginning of her career when she was closer to the Course in Miracles.

I found this book to be somewhat uplifting & inspirational at times. She does have a way with words to make someone feel comforted & hopeful for the purpose of life.

Again this book took me to a better place of understanding my self and the world we live in. If we all lived by the philosophy that is written in the pages of this amazing book we would see that we live in an amazing place. This is the third time I have read this and it continues to resonate with me!

Inspirational and positive, but she does not give space to the necessary sadness, conflict and confusion that evolve into deep peacefulness when those feelings are fully acknowledged, expressed and healed.

I found this book inspirational and enjoyable. There were a few bits that I didn't enjoy quite as much, but overall I would recommend this book. The author addresses spiritual practices without addressing them to any particular religion or spirituality specifically. For this reason, almost everyone can benefit from reading this book and will find it enjoyable and inspirational, which I believe was the writers purpose.

"As long as there are walls inside our minds, we are bounds to remain behind them. For id you think you can't, you can't. If you think you can, you might. And it you think God can, you're on your way to a life of spritual triumph."

She might be one of the most enlightened people alive on the planet today, Ms. Williamson. (In my incredibly humble opinion.) This is one of her earlier books, I believe. It has a sweetness to it, and a very straightforward approach - very digestible and applicable to everyday living.

more attainable than a return to love (which is a very good book but for some of us, presents a more long term plan). I read the chapter on Grieving at my mother's funeral as part of my remarks; I, as well as many others, found Williamson's words intensely comforting in our time of need.
