Publisher's summary

The internationally recognized teacher, speaker, and New York Times best-selling author of A Return to Love argues that our desire to avoid pain is actually detrimental to our lives, disconnecting us from our deepest emotions and preventing true healing and spiritual transcendence.

Marianne Williamson is a best-selling author, a world-renowned teacher, and one of the most important spiritual voices of our time. In Tears to Triumph, she argues that we - as a culture and as individuals - have learned to avoid facing pain. By doing so we are neglecting the spiritual work of healing.

Instead of allowing ourselves to embrace our hurt, we numb it, medicate it, dismiss it, or otherwise divert our attention so that we never have to face it. In refusing to acknowledge our suffering, we actually prolong it and deny ourselves the opportunity for profound wisdom - ultimately limiting our personal growth and opportunity for enlightenment. Frozen by denial, we are left standing in the breach. Whole industries profit from this immobility, and while they have grown rich, we have become spiritually poorer.

As Marianne makes clear, true healing and transcendence can come only when we finally face our pain and wrestle with what it has to teach us. Written with warm compassion and profound wisdom, Tears to Triumph offers us a powerful way forward through the pain, to a deeper awareness of our feelings, our lives, and our true selves.

Beautiful. An absolute MUST read.

This book is for anyone who is suffering or has suffered from loss, betrayal, grief, and other heart pain.

Marianne's soft and eloquent voice is a nice touch on this book. It was my first experience with one of her books and I I'll be buying more.

The information shared is transformative and amazing. There are several profound insights that are a wake up call to the human race.

This book will bring love, light, and healing to your life.

Enjoy :)

LOVE IT!

I am a big fan of Marianne Williamson and I think this book is a real treasure. Every word she says is medicine for the soul. It nails down as I have never heard before the reason why we need to love, forgive and live a beautiful life. It has helped me enormously! I couldn't take my earphones off, I listened to it entirely in ONE day! IT IS THAT GOOD! Fantastic, great job Marianne you are a beautiful soul.

Healing for our Souls.

I wish Marianne was running for President of the United States. We need more Love and less judgement.

Soul-Shaking and Groundbreaking

This book is a fast-tracked vortex, into a total self elevation to a higher level, which renders you powerful and exhilarated to live life to the fullest everyday. The title may imply that you have to be in tears/ in a bad place to read it but, I think that it is valuable for anyone no matter what his/her current circumstance/sentiment are. Marianne, God bless you. I wish you continued peace, happiness, and abundance.

For All Who Struggle as We All Do

Before I even finished this book I recommended it to friends who are struggling with depression and other challenges in life. Marianne skillfully lays the foundation of difficult times, then builds upon it to Lovingly, with brutal honesty, describe what to expect in spiritual transformation while growing through the struggle. She very effectively pulls teachings from A Course Miracles, Christianity, Buddhism, Judaism and other spiritual practices to illustrate her points, including why we struggle, how to begin changing our perspective of our struggles and why we should. And, her use of prayers throughout are a virtual toolkit for transformation. This book helped to make me aware of ways to improve my spiritual practice and become more aware of how Love reveals itself in my life. Wonderful teaching! Thank you, Marianne!

Transformative

This book is for anyone who needs to stand up after falling. This is a book about spirituality and not religion. There is such power in the ideas and the deep understanding that Marianne has. This was everything to me - when I needed it most.
