Publisher's summary

Returning to the topic of her beloved classic bestseller A Return to Love, spiritual guide Marianne Williamson builds on the ideas introduced in that book to lead us toward the light through the inspiring guidance of the mystic Jesus.

In A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles, Marianne Williamson revealed how we each become miracle-workers when expressing love and forgiveness in our everyday lives. With The Mystic Jesus, Williamson reveals the role of Jesus in the teachings of the Course.

For many, Jesus has become a precious relic, revered yet lacking the immediacy of authentic spiritual force. In The Mystic Jesus, Williamson writes of a Jesus who transcends both glib imagery and outdated religious dogma. She writes not only of an historical Messiah but of a spirit alive in all of us today.

Williamson brings to The Mystic Jesus her talent at making the densest theological theories relevant to our everyday lives. She merges psychological and religious understanding, presenting Jesus as a guide to another way of thinking, therefore the builder of another kind of world. The Jesus in The Mystic Jesus truly is, in the words of St. Augustine, “ever ancient, ever new.”

The Jesus presented here is a radical love, an ever-present teacher, an evolutionary elder brother, and a savior from the fear-based, twisted thinking that dominates our world. The Mystic Jesus is both theological and practical, signature Williamson in both its intellectual clarity and emotional impact.

Amazing , insightful and inspiring

Being a life long Buddhist I don’t know a lot about Jesus. Thought I have read comparisons of Christian and Buddhist philosophy and having been a student of a corse in miracles for 30 years I am overjoyed to find such a comprehensive overview of his teachings and how they effect now. Marianne’s sharing of her life experiences with questions, stories and mostly her deep and meaningful prayers are touching and heartwarming.

Incredible!

I have always had a strange connection and admiration for Jesus but disliked the interpretations of him provided by Christianity and/or Catholicism. I've been looking for an explanation that would make my heart and soul exclaim with great Joy: YES!!! This, undoubtedly, is THE book! Thank You, Marianne Williamson! I can't wait for You to lead this country (and the entire world) into the New Awakened Presence as President of the USA. I see it. I feel it. It is done already!!!

Beautiful summary!

I’ve been studying a course in miracles for a number of years and this was a spectacular accompaniment to those studies. Beautifully written and wonderful insights.

Marianne, do I need to say more?

If it has her name on it, it is always a good choice to listen. She is my favourite author 💛 And it is always so comforting to listen to her wisdom about ACIM. Thank you 🙏🏻

Who we are

Liked explanation of the connectivity every human on this planet has to each other, that love is the way. Dislike the speed with which the book was read. Speaking quickly appears to be a trait of Marianne. Williamson. The only slower speed available on Audible is too slow.

Touched my heart and soul!

Marianne does a beautiful job of helping me understand that Course better. I recommend this book to all Course students and to all who are in a spiritual journey. It is a guide on how to live your best life and heal the planet.
