Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. A beautifully produced gift edition collecting Marianne Williamson's meditative prayers, presented in the style of a medieval illuminated manuscript. Every prayer is paired with richly colored decorative borders, illuminated initials, and watercolor…artwork by Claudia Karabaic Sargent, creating a volume that is as much an art book as a devotional work. The design evokes fifteenth-century Books of Hours while presenting contemporary prayers on healing, forgiveness, gratitude, relationships, and spiritual growth. Originally published in 1997, Illuminated Prayers followed Williamson's bestselling works A Return to Love, A Woman's Worth, and Illuminata, extending her message of practical spirituality into an elegantly illustrated keepsake. The book contains approximately 100 pages and was published by Simon & Schuster. Near Fine book in Near Fine dust jacket.

Her breakthrough work, A Return to Love (1992), spent many weeks on The New York Times bestseller list and established her as one of the most influential voices in modern spiritual literature. She has authored numerous bestselling books on personal transformation, healing, relationships, and prayer, while also becoming known for her humanitarian work and later involvement in American politics.
