Worth a whole lot of underlining

I read, I stop, I underline, I think, I smile a knowing smile. I read, I stop, I underline, I make a note about my worth. I read, I stop, I remember why I am here and honor all of the women before me. Whether I knew those women or not, they carved out the path of my existence. Their tears are the oceans I swim in and they set me afloat. I have read two other of Marianne Williamson's books, but those don't even compare to the simple, bold, in your face message of the value of your worth as a woman. I wish Marianne had a twin brother to write A Man's Worth, but she does graciously pay tribute to Sam Keen's Fire in the Belly on the very first page. See, always a woman to think of others and nurture the universe! Mostly, Madame Williamsons' book just made me feel so worthy of the gift of me. I am accountable to and of myself and it is my obligation to share the best of myself. So many juicy quotes, so many rich, alive, statements. This book HONORS MEN and WOMEN and CHILDREN simply by recognizing the golden opportunity we each have in being in love and living of love every day. That is the essence of all of our worth.

A Must-Read for Every Woman

I would never have believed that a book could have such an profound impact on my life. But this book did just that. It gave me a new way of looking at everything: myself, other women, men, God, sex, and the list goes on and on. A Woman's Worth opens your eyes to all the beauty in yourself and in the world. And there is so much beauty to behold. I highly recommend this book particularly if you or a friend has hit a rocky patch in life. I was down so low when I read this book, I wasn't sure where I could turn for help. But the book gave me the inspiration to open my heart and acknowledge my own worth and that was the first step towards healing. Marianne Williamson has an amazing gift and I thank God that she shares it with the rest of us.

This book refreshed me when I was down

A Woman's Worth is a great book for any woman to read who has lost herself; or perhaps even better for someone who has not figured out who she is yet. I read it when I was having a hard time feeling grounded and it really helped my self-confidence. I was able to begin to love myself again (or for the first time). And have since recommended it to a friend who is going through a difficult divorce - she loved it! Though I did not agree with everything that Marianne Williamson had to say , the tone of the book is such that you can easily take what you need and leave the rest.

A woman's worth; MY worth

4 years ago I came across a copy of this book, and spent a joyful afternoon reading her words and contemplating my own worth. This book nourished my soul. I felt like she was speaking directly to me, and thank God, I listened! My life was forever changed. This book had such an impact on me that words cannot convey. I ended my self-destruction that day, and discovered a sense of worth that I had never known. This book is the perfect gift for a daughter graduating from high school, or for any woman who has yet to discover her own vital place in this world.
