Finding Your Way Home by Melody Beattie (1998, Paperback)

I rented the book at a local library and didn't finish it in the alotted time. So purchased the book. Found it helpful, especially the "Remedies" section. This is not the first book by this author I have read and feel that it builds on previous books. Some of the mantras require a great deal of introspection. I think the words get in the way at times. Power words and trigger words are very powerful and helpful. On the whole I recommend this book. Feel that a background in counseling, either participation in or counseling experience, it more helpful in understanding this book. However, this is a valuable resource those interested in supporting and maintaining the soul in difficult times.

Awesome book on spirituality! If you are questioning your relationship with a higher power, this book might be for you. Melody Beattie is wonderful, read all of her books!!

I've learned that there's no single book or author that can show you the way to find and heal your own heart. It becomes a bit of a smorgasbord, picking and choosing what speaks to you from each work that comes your way, and leaving the rest. Beattie's "Finding Your Way Home" is a feast in and of itself. Remarkable insights into one's own soul and the nature of the Divine, affirming that the path has high and low points, and how to recognize and travel with them, how to accept, heal and empower those parts most wounded and weakened; I've found all this in her book. Along with Louise Hay's "Heart Thoughts," this is a tremendously powerful book for self-healing and connection.

Everybody is unique, and Beattie's path is her own. So there were parts that didn't resonate at all, or that even felt wrong - as well they should. It's HER destination after all, not mine. We're all unique, so don't make the mistake of thinking that one book can contain all you need to help you find your own way. It took me a long time to learn that. And what we need changes over time. But if right now I could only have three books with me on a deserted island, this would be one (along with her book "52 Weeks of Conscious Living" and Louise Hay's "Heart Thoughts"). I highly recommend it.

I'm working on improving myself and I like this author This author writes in a way that is speaking right to me. Makes me see things in my life that I have not seen before and know that it is ok and I am not alone
