I have read Marianne Williamson's book A Return to Love many times now, at different stages of my life, and I have found the message is always relevant and, surprisingly, I always come away with something new. The book is wrapped up in New Age philosophy, and can be esoteric at times, which is one of the only things I don't care for in this book. It's a cliff-notes type summary of A Course in Miracles, the New Age bible written in the 1970s. However, A Return to Love is beautifully written and universally understandable. I would recommend it for anyone who is at a stagnant point in their lives and is needing to rediscover who they are, but I would also caution readers to stay in the shallow-end of the New Age principles in this book. Williamson does a great job of explaining how to live a life of purpose and love.
