Letting Go and Becoming

With an exquisite understanding of the various ways we resist God, the author gives a series of talks on how our restless egos trip us up as we try to order our lives, especially in the interpersonal and romantic realms. Like most of her live recordings, the monologues are spontaneous and energetic. Yet they stay connected to the central lesson of reconciling our free will with God's love and direction. "We're addicted to noise," Williamson believes, and that's the reason that meditating is so hard for people. Yet it's an essential practice for healing and discerning God's will. A strong and memorable listening experience by one of our most provocative spiritual teachers. T.W. (c) AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine


Finding security within ourselves is the theme of Marianne Williamson's audio program, and her principles are in the 12-step recovery tradition. In this live seminar recording, she prays with her audience, uses the Bible, and talks rapidly as she makes her points with the self-assurance and authority of the seasoned preacher she is. Though hers is the God of the New Testament, her message will be clear to people of all faiths: To find our true selves, we must relinquish personal control to God and turn every thought, word and deed toward the greater good of the universe.
