A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course In Miracles is the first book by author Marianne Williamson and is to date the biggest selling book of interpretation of the spiritual thought system found in the book A Course In Miracles. Most estimates claim that A Return to Love has sold in excess of three million copies, making it not only the best selling book of ACIM interpretation but one of the best selling self-help books of all time.

A Return to Love was one of the first books to be endorsed by Oprah Winfrey, though it was never selected for Oprah's Book Club because it was published several years before the club's founding.

Though Williamson has authored several books, A Return to Love remains her only book to sell more than a million copies.

Williamson might be called Oprah's patron saint. She's all about love and healing, yin and yang, being wounded, and using love and prayer to heal all wounds. A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course In Miracles (1992) was number one on the Publishers Weekly non-fiction best-sellers list for eleven weeks. Williamson promoted her book and ACIM when she appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show, an episode that received more pro viewer mail than any other show for 1992. She also plugged the book and the course when she was interviewed by Barbara Walters on the ABC television news show 20/20.^[1]

A Return to Love spent 39 weeks on the New York Times best sellers list in 1992 [1]. A decade later, A Return to Love was credited as being one of the two books that helped bring New Age perspectives to the American mainstream [2].
