Review # 1 was written on 2018-01-08 00:00:00 Justin Williams One of my favorite books! Love Marianne Williamson!! Proverbs 31:10b PRICELESS:-) Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-09-07 00:00:00 Donald Tomlinson I loved this book at first, the encouragement, the wisdom that women should under all circumstances support one another. Then I got to the page where she refers to certain women as sluts and whores (and then she does it again! in the next chapter). I picked up this book because of her other compassionate, wise, powerful writing, but this one doesn't quite fit. It's uplifting in places, yet preachy and judgmental in others. If we are going to uplift all women then we need to be compassionate towards ALL women with the understanding that some act like sluts and whores because they don't know better and because they need help. This book was written a long time ago (90s I think) so perhaps its time for a rewrite/revision?
