Synopsis
Mysticism is not for the special few, in Marianne Williamson's world view, but for everyone. All we need are the proper guidelines to discover an internal connection to our higher source. EVERYDAY GRACE is a manual for mystics, offering a list of "tools" (in this case, 5 special thoughts to orient our attitudes towards God) and a "schedule" that takes the reader through a typical day, pointing out opportunities for spiritual growth and connection. The daily schedule outlines the types of events that can crop up in the course of a day, or a lifetime, that challenge our inner peace: horror stories in the newspaper, unchecked envy, workplace anxiety. For each situation, Williamson suggests an attitude change that brings us back to a connection with our spirit. The final part of the book is a handful of more general prescriptions for living a spiritual life in community with others. While miracles and mysticism can be heady topics, Williamson's gift is in injecting her lofty message with earthy humor, compassion and surprisingly practical wisdom., Mysticism is not for the special few, in Marianne Williamson's world view, but for everyone.

Industry Reviews
"In Williamson's rapturous, liturgical prose, oceanic bliss is conveniently tapped into with prayer and by beaming positive mental energy to a universe karmically primed to beam it back."
