The direction a wise America would go
|
|
For every week a Rush Limbaugh book was on the best seller list, Marianne's book should be on for a year. Spiritual and compassionate, Marianne addresses the direction that will heal our nation from the materialistic abyss America is falling into.

A Waste of Time.

Williamson would like you to think she is beyond "liberal" and "conservative" labels, but don't believe it. She's a liberal in disguise, and her solutions to "healing America" are dubious at best. (Will getting rid of Columbus Day *really* make American Indians feel better? Did HE begin their genocide, or did ENGLISH COLONISTS?) When Williamson is not lacking in research, she is so repetitive, you could skip 2 or 3 chapters and not have missed a thing. Save your cash, and buy CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD, BOOK 1,2,3 for a real spiritual discussion.

A very pleasant surprise
|

The author, who has attained a fair degree of pop celebrity from her spiritual lectures and books, has produced a very important book. She tells it like it is: we are allowing our democracy to unravel, we are allowing are children to be cheated, and we are allowing the interests of the few (the corporations) to dominate our society. Williamson has no ax to grind. This is the kind of common sense, plain speaking that has been all but eliminated from our news media.

not about big gov't, but about solidairty and empowerment

I must respectfully disagree with the Costa Mesa, Ca reader's review that this book is simply another "big government" fix. The 2 main heroes in the book, Ghandi and Dr. ML King Jr., never ran for or attained elected office. It is a book about empowering our citizenry to do what we all know is right. It is about the citizenry taking back the government from big business and special interests. Of course, she speaks of the necessity to wake up out of our consumer-drunkeness, one person at a time, before this can ever happen. It is a tragedy that in our Country, people are afraid to speak out for the poor, the homeless, the troubled youth, in fear of being labeled a "bleeding heart" or a "whiner" or a "new age liberal" (see above review). Ms. Williamson beautifully and eloquently asks us to take a look in the mirror, try to figure out what we really feel is right, and then use the democratic process to do something about it. Not a novel idea, but certainly one that desperately needs to be awakened.

A LADY SPEAKS TRUTH
|

I met Marianne years ago when she was lecturing in Hollywood and had few followers. Over the years, her words of wisdom have drawn thousands. Truth is truth, but Marianne has a wonderful way of getting it across to the minds of the people. Now she has a book that could heal America. We need to think and act, which is what Marianne is best at. I am sure there are many rewards waiting for such a spiritual leader. Thank you Marianne
