Customer Reviews

One of the best

I have read and used many journal writing books, and this is one of the best because it is so readable. A wise and enchanting tool for deepening personal reflection and transformation.

Life's Companion:Journal Writing As a Spiritual Quest

This book is a classic!! We are using it in a Master's program to help teachers become better reflective practitioners. There is such a wealth of material to help anyone become more aware of their inner voice, to listen to inner truth. The meditations, which are available on tape, are an added bonus. If you journal or want to start journaling, you need to buy this book and use it as a reference.

A Wonderful Tool for Spiritual Growth

I have journaled almost as long as I could write, and I have had my copy of this book for probably ten years, and I still come back to it over and over for insight and inspiration. Not just a journaling book, it's a book for growing as a human being. I can't recommend it highly enough

A "Must-Have" for Journal Writers

This is the book that got me interested in journal writing. This book helps you use your journal as a tool for self-growth and fulfillment. One of the things that I really liked about it is that the exercises in the book can be used by anyone. It's not just for women, and it's not geared towards a specific religion/spiritual path. The exercises are extremely thought-provoking.In my opinion, this book is a "must have" for journal writers.

Excellent - jumpstarts a lifetime of spiritual journaling.

My copy of this book is dog-eared and worn, highlighted in pink and feathered with little yellow stickies. I recommend it as one of the best introductory journal writing books around. The format is unique. On the left hand page there are quotes, poems and insights. On the right hand page is the actual book, which combines literary, spiritual and psychological insights. I've been journaling for almost 10 years now and I still go back to this book for more inspiration.
