Finding Your Way Home: A Soul Survival Kit

Not a Religious Book - Just Very Inspiring
I am unsure why/how this book is categorized under Christian literature, but it is not about Jesus Christ or any other religious specific God. It is about spirituality and connecting with your own soul. It's an actual how-to on connecting with your inner-most self. I find this book inspiring and I've had many ah-ha moments even half way in. Melody Beattie is one of my all time favorite authors as her books about codependency have changed my life. And while this book isn't necessarily about codependency recovery, the underlying aspects of codependency are still addressed which I do find to be essential since they can create so much restriction in our lives. Do yourself a favor and buy the book. See for yourself.

I loved this book
I loved this book. It helped me through a very difficult time. Some of it was a little out there for me... for instance, she loses me at "chakra"... but I really loved how varied it was so it actually kind of helped keep my interest. I never really synched well with Codependent No More just because of my own personal blocks, but I'm on my 5th Melody Beattie book right now, and I may have to revisit it. I never know what I am going to get out of her books but some have them have had a single sentence buried in them that has changed my life and my relationship with myself.

On your way to search for your soul....
One of my favorite books of ALL time. I have read a couple by her and this is my ultimate favorite. I recommend this is everyone every where. When I started this book all I did was cry in the bath while reading it. It was my bible, I still have my copy on my bookshelf and when I feel in doubt I turn to a random page. It have ways of soothing your soul. I hope you pick it up and let it help you. I think you will get more out of it than you expect too.

Consulting the Soul
I'm still reading this. The narration was beginning to sound repetitious and Psychology Today-like, until Ms. Beattie related an incident or spiritual experience that comes to those who spend the time on reflection, meditation, and metaphysical pursuits. Here, her sincerity and powers of description won out. However, I wonder about the target audience. Many of us cannot afford the range of travel and upscale hotels she advises in an all-out search for spiritual awakening. I'm reading in small increments and that seems to work best. Her text can be repetitive but it's often dense and worth the time.

When I was going through a very difficult time in my life my parents God Bless their souls They gave me your book Journey of the heart. That was in 1998. I am once again finding myself hitting a stone wall. Once again I felt the need to read one of your books. Once again Thank you Melody Beattie for helping me realize I can open my heart to love. I would tell everyone I know how much your books have helped me

No, just no.
Either my attitude or Ms Beattie's writing style and ideas ahave changed since I last read one of her books. I was tempted to say that I hate it, but I guess that isn't fair to any author. If you're looking for New Age, feel-good, out-there, space age theology..this is the book for you! If you're looking for sound doctine, whether it be Christian, Jewish, Hindu, etc... You won't find it here. I found it rather flighty and mystic feeling. Her ideas are loose and jump from Jesus to Buddha to Kabballah. she frequently writes of "becoming one with the universe," "gaining special powers," and other intangible, weirdly mystical ideas. Her talent is good, but her ideas are confused and dangerous to anyone seeking sound religious Judeo-Christian teaching. If you're looking for New Age high and lofty confusion, this is good for you. I can't help but feel that she has been seeking for answers to fill a void from the loss of her child. So sorry. That is tragic and out of the hurt places we seek answers, but I don't think they're found in this book.

Heartfelt
This is another heartfelt book from Melody Beattie. It's challenging at times but never fails to speak to some part of me. I'm sure I'll revisit it time and again on my journey home.

This is my favourite book of all Melody Beaties.
For all women or anyone actually who need to own themselves and find away to get in touch back to their soul..this book helps feed your mind and soul without all the Americanism jargon and exercises in a usual formatted book.I loved it the first time round and borrowed the book from a friend and decided it is a must have amongst my library. I bought as a resource to design workshops for women in "Creating an authentic life."
