Publisher's summary

In this audio, best-selling author Marianne Williamson delves deeply into the powerful role of change in our lives today. Far from something to fear and avoid, she says, every change, even the most difficult and painful, gives us an opportunity to receive the miraculous gift of personal transformation into what we are capable of becoming. The only real failure in life is the failure to grow from what we go through.

Williamson leads us across key bridges of transformation including:

  • From Forgetting Who We Are to Remembering Who We Are
  • From Negative Thinking to Positive Love
  • From Asking God to Change the World to Praying That He Change Us
  • From Living in the Past and Future to Living in the Now
  • From Separation to Relationship
  • From Your Plan to God's Plan
  • From Who We Were to Who We Are Becoming

These simple but profound changes empower us to see life's transitions as opportunities for growth and rebirth, providing not only keys for shaping our lives today, but also hope for transforming our world into a place of greater love and peace.

There really is only one problem...

'We might think we have 22 different problems, but we really only have one problem - our disconnect from our god' - Marianne Williamson.

I found that in this audio book Marianne oscillates between talking specifically about dealing with change (uncertainty) and between a general commentary on living well!

I personally found it very insightful. I like how she makes sure people see her as a 'down to earth' individual who struggles herself, at times, just like everyone else, through sharing of personal experiences and stories!

Sublime

Would you listen to The Gift of Change again? Why?

It's like going to a lecture of Marianne Williamson. It just flows on and on. It's perfect that Marianne herself is reading it.

Excellent Teaching

Marianne teaches practical ways to be a miracle and receive miracles in our life. Anyone on their life journey and aware that they are on a journey would benefit from reading "The Gift of Change". Marianne is a student of "A Course in Miracles" and she is able to leach it with clear examples and guidance.

A life changing book

She broke down spiritually in a way I can understand it. I listen to it everyday. I don't know if it is because I like content or I just like her voice
