Enchanted Love: The Mystical Power of Intimate Relationships

Rating:
Summary: Thank you, Marianne
Review: This book came on strict recommendation from a dear and trusted friend who is a voracious reader of anything spiritual. She gives me very few highly recommended titles, but this one she had no doubt about --- BUY IT AND GET YOUR HILIGHTERS OUT! It is a simply put, beautifully expressed vision of the ways in which love, romance, dreams of forever, and the challenges of partnerships are faced by women. We tend to take on "roles" in our love lives, and Ms. Williamson captures the roles in such a way that you will find yourself within her words. I was so engrossed with the very first half I could barely put it down. It helps to know when you are reading that if your partner is willing to open up in the ways the book describes, you are both in for a wonderful journey into the spiritual side of love. If only one of you is aware of the need for change, it will be a very different, if not somewhat empty, journey alone.

Summary: Read this with your heart
Review: This book fed my soul, but not my critical rationality. I too share the yearning for love's sweetness and the synthesis of human and Divine Love in my relationships. Everything Ms Williams says makes perfect sense to me and I found lots of substance here. Her concept on the evolution of and need for spiritually healing relationships are basically the same as Gary Zukav in his Seat of the Soul and many others. So for you who think it is only fluff, you might want to feel deeper into your own alienation. I appriciate a writer willing to engage with the feminine spirit.

Summary: this book doesn't make any sense.
Review: this book makes no sense. it is just stream of consciousness. I'm not sure how one is supposed to access the "advice" or information.

Summary: Highly Recommended
Review: This book really spoke to me. She has hit the nail on the head, pertaining to love. I have never read a book on the subject that caputures loves beauty, love's feelings, so elequently. This book spoke to me, in a way no other book has before. I think this book should be read by anyone interested in the subject. This is a must read. It goes straight to the heart. I commend Mirianne Williamson for such a beautiful, touching book.

Summary: For Those Who Truly Love and Want To Feel Loved
Review: This is a most inspirational and affirming book about love there is. If one is not spiritually inclined, I think one needs some groundwork first before being able to digest this book. It came at a time in my life when I needed hope that love can truly happen in my lifetime. After the demise of a marriage of 20 years where my husband was unable to love himself never mind me and the children, Marianne tapped my inner soul to seek hope. I highly recommend this book to young and old alike. It is deep, but it is one book that can be read over and over again in excerpts. it is not a novel. It is not a thriller. It is a search for one's own soul and that just doesn't happen in one sitting. Be blessed and love.

Summary: Her best book yet.
Review: This is her best book yet. There is a mystical quality to the writing itself. Marianne creates a context for relationships in Enchanted Love, rather than just telling you what to specifically do to get them to happen. Without this context, it doesn't even matter what you do, in a certain kind of a way. With this book, Marianne goes more to the essence of what is needed in order for us to create the kind of relationships we all dream about. I read some of these customer reviews and I think a lot of people are maybe looking to this book as some kind of self-help book, having certain expectations for what it's supposed to be. You know, step one, do this...step two, do that. I think Marianne breaks that mold with this book. For me, just reading it shifted me, opened me. She is speaking to another part of our brain, I think. In other words, it's the kind of book that gets in there, even when you are not looking. For instance, I read Enchanted Love and then a couple of days later I found myself referring to certain ideas Marianne talks about in the book, while I was talking with a friend...concepts I didn't even know had particularly registered with me while I was reading them. I find myself doing that a lot...going back to sections of it over and over again. Almost everyone I know who's read it says they want to read it again. I am constantly amazed at how much more I can see about life, about love, and about romance since I read Marianne's remarkable book. Do yourself a favor, sit with it. Read it slowly. Let it sink in. Think about it. Savor it. It'll open doors. It did for me, anyway.

Summary: A Book To Keep Forever
Review: This is one of those books I found very readable and it kept me reading till I was through it. It is also one of those valuable books that has so many good ideas and thoughts that I can pick it up at any time and find something that speaks to me that I didn't see the last time or it means more now. Buy it!

Summary: Lots of heart-felt statements on the state of romance but ..
Review: Williamson really can put her pen to task with heart-touching words woven to get your heart stirring. Enchanted Love is quite the achivement of a literary celebration of mystical love thanks to insipirations from Marianne's interpretations of A Course in Miracles. Although the content is endearing I must ask the question ... why is Williamson preaching such lovely tones of enchanted romance ... and not achieving it herself. the proof is in the pudding. No one is perfect but if you're looking for love advice, ask Joanne Woodward or another successfully married woman who been with her best pal a long time through ups and downs. Would you ever get diet advice from someone who is obese or still walking around at least 10 pounds overweight? Williamson openly admits that numerous men have left her, she is a single mother, and was apparently once married for under 6 months years ago. She may be a true warrior in the love and romance trenches but if her whole life is dedicated to L-O-V-E ... why does she attract but not hold the romantic love she finds? Enchanted Love makes for beautful prose but that's about it. The material is very fantastical at times with lyrical verbage but if you're seeking romantic results in your favor ... keep seeking elsewhere. Enjoy this book for what it can provide because it is positive. If you want to access advice from someone who writes about love and is successful in love ... try Drs. Gay and Kathlyn Hendricks. They have been married over 22 years and have used their marriage as a testing ground for conscious relationships. The Hendricks must be doing soemthing right because they are still together with children and grandchildren to boot.
