Marianne Williamson Instagram – It was over five years ago when my editor at HarperOne asked me if I’d like to write a book about Jesus. It had always been in the back of my mind that one day I would like to try, but it seemed an effort so daunting I never proposed it to a publisher.
I was told that in the book world, what had become obvious was that people wanted to read more about Jesus separate from the context of Christian dogma. As a student and teacher of A Course in Miracles, would I be interested in taking on the project?
The publisher began sending me books about Jesus. But the more I read them the more I realized that my understanding of Jesus has little to do with traditional Christianity. I understand him within one context, and that is the material of A Course in Miracles. As a student of the Course, I feel I know him. But that is all I know, and therefore all that I could write. This book is an introduction to the metaphysical Jesus.
After a few detours (running for President a couple of times sort of knocks you off your publishing schedule!), the book is finally ready to make its appearance in the world. I’m very happy – and just a tad nervous! – to report that the book will be published on May 7th.
For those of you who read my first book, A Return to Love, or are yourselves students of A Course in Miracles, you will recognize THE MYSTIC JESUS: The Mind of Love as a continuation of a conversation I’ve been having with readers for the last thirty years. Spiritual growth is a continual mining of the mystery at the heart of Creation, and I hope that with this book I have done that.
