"We need to relinquish the paradigm of men as power with women as support
and instead embrace the image of both men and women as powers, with each
supporting the other.  Any man who holds a woman back is not a man a
woman can afford to be with.  A woman has a mighty and sacred task to
perform on earth.  She will not be able to fulfill her function if she
remains with a man who derides her glory."

        I do not know who she is -- do you know any biographical
        details you can enter here?

        Thanks,

    	I can share a little about her.
    
    	Williamson is the author of the bestselling book, "A Return
    To Love."  Often labelled (or dismissed as) a New_Ager, Williamson's
    speaking engagements are frequently based on "A Course In Miracles."
    She often makes allusions to the life and teachings of Christ.
    
    Shalom,
    Richard

    Did anyone happen to see the special Oprah show on Tuesday?  The guest
    was author Marianne Williamson who wrote A RETURN TO LOVE, REFLECTIONS
    ON THE PRINCIPLES OF A COURSE IN MIRACLES.  Apparently, Oprah had read
    the advanced copy of the book and liked it so much that she invited
    Marianne on the show.  Oprah bought everyone in the audience a copy of
    the book and stressed that she hoped all the homes viewers would read
    the book.
    
    As a long-time student of ACIM, I was enthused by the program.  
    Here is a description of the book taken from a flyer I picked up at the
    Little Professor book store:
    
    "A Return to Love reveals that by practicing love we can enrich our own
    lives and the lives of others.  Whether we're experiencing problems in
    our relationships, our careers, or our health, Marianne Williamson
    shows how love is the potent force that can lead to inner peace.  
    Her book explains how each of us can become a miracle worker by 
    expressing love and accepting the God within us."
