 Spiritual Quackery February 17, 2008
19 out of 53 found this review helpful
This book and Ms. Williamson's philosophy/worldview is nothing new; witness the snake in the Garden of Eden telling our ancestors that "you shall be as gods..."; isn't this exactly what Ms. Williamson is teaching?
Be careful, it's nothing more than New Age, Spiritual Quackery!
 A Spiritual, Logical, Loving and WISE Voice January 10, 2008

When one reads this book it becomes evident that Martha Williamson does not 'believe' in God she KNOWS God...Her spiritual views are so universal, she would be a welcome voice in most houses of worship....
Reading her words convinces one that there IS a loving spiritual force in this universe who created and loves....

I bought both the book and the CD series of this. I have only done that a handful of times.
However, Marianne's writing is so engaging that I wanted to read it. I love listening to her while driving as well as I resonate with her voice and her way of expressing herself.
For me, my life only gets better as I age. The early years were actually rougher for me than getting older. But, for those of you struggling with mid-life, this book will give you a very positive perspective on the whole thing and may be just the ticket if you're feeling down.
I find it very validating of thoughts and feelings I've had - and she puts things in a way that I never would have myself that I can really relate to.
Enjoy!
 Age Of Miracles? February 9, 2008

The Age of Miracles: Embracing the New MidlifeI haven't finished this book yet, as I find it rather difficult to "get into". I am finding the book a bit waffly, talking in vague generalities that seem to go on, without reaching a simple conclusion, or providing the reader with here and now steps or suggestions to begin the new journey - a bit like taking a maths class without giving specific formulas to try.I also wonder if the Author at times is having a conversation with herself, or speaking to Middle Aged women generally? I think the book makes some positive and relevant points and observations, in addition to asking some poignant questions, but overall find it rather self indulgent. The simple straightfoward prayers inserted here and there are lovely, and worthy of inclusion in ones daily life. As I am only half way through the book, I have given it a three rating, as any higher or lower would be unfair.
Marianne, time to hang up your hat! February 29, 2008

Mairanne Williamson, it's time to hang up your hat. Everything that is stated in this book is plain old common sense! Come on people! I'd say all of Marianne's book start to sound the same! This book was a huge let down!
