Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Virtue, a spiritual counselor, encourages everyone to communicate directly with God and the angels, and she maps out several clairvoyant styles for doing so. The method itself is surprisingly simple: breathe deeply and slowly, formulate specific questions, and trust God. She discusses characteristics of true guidance and ways to discern whether knowledge comes from wishful thinking or from interference by the lower self. The ultimate test seems to be whether guidance provides support and encouragement, or fear and negativity; she believes that the latter indicates false guidance. Practical exercises for developing latent abilities are included. This book will be popular with fans of Neale Donald Walsch (Conversations with God: An Uncommon Dialogue, Putnam,

5.0 out of 5 stars Everyone Can Talk with God and See Angels, June 7, 2001

This review is from: Divine Guidance: How to Have a Dialogue with God and Your Guardian Angels (Paperback)

Have you ever wondered how easy it could be to talk with God, or wished you could see and hear angels? If so, DIVINE GUIDANCE is the book for you!

Doreen Virtue makes readers feel instantly at home as she explains in simple language how all of us can communicate directly with God in her beautiful book, DIVINE GUIDANCE. Virtue describes how to discern true guidance when we receive it, and provides examples of how to know it when we've got it. I especially love the real-life stories Virtue includes, because they help bring her ideas of talking to God and angels to life -- and sometimes they describe what happened on occasions when divine messages have been ignored!

DIVINE GUIDANCE provides three steps for formulating questions, and four steps to start seeing angels around every person we meet. Virtue also provides side-by-side examples of spiritual messages with the less-helpful lower-self messages, as well as a table showing characteristics of true and false guidance. The main emphasis of this book is to help people develop and enhance their "clairs"... clairaudience, clairvoyance, clairsentience, and claircognizance... because such expanded awareness opens our ability to clearly hear, see, feel and know what is real around us. Lots of fun and easy exercises (such as toning) are included, as well as some very helpful prayers.

DIVINE GUIDANCE is for people of all faiths, races, ages, and nationalities. People who are interested in discovering and fulfilling their life mission will enjoy this book more, simply because messages of divine guidance tend to urge us to make a positive contribution to the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional, June 21, 2001

By 

"dehmar" (Knoxville, TN United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Divine Guidance: How to Have a Dialogue with God and Your Guardian Angels (Paperback)

This book was my first introduction to Doreen's books and the subject of Angels....and it was wonderful. Very enlightening and well presented, it opened up a new world of possibilities to me. I have since purchased most of her books and audio books. I have found that in some cases the books are more comprehensive than the audio, however, the guided meditations on audio cannot be replaced by the books; so both work together very well.

At the same time I was reading Doreen's Divine Guidance book, I was reading Conversations With God by Neale Donald Walsh. These writings compliment each other very well and provide a comprehensive approach for those going within to find their truths.

Doreen also has a website, angeltherapy.com, which offers additional information. I am sorry to hear that she is no longer doing angel readings, for I would be first in line!

5.0 out of 5 stars A divine source of comfort, June 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Divine Guidance: How to Have a Dialogue with God and Your Guardian Angels (Audio Cassette)

Doreen writes in such beautiful, simple language. A very easy read. From page one you are completely hooked and find it difficult to put down. All of my old belief systems have changed as a result of Doreen's teachings. This book taught me that whenever I need ANYTHING I can ask for help, let go of my worries and my needs will be met with the assistance of God, his angels and the spirit world. She teaches you that we are ALL connected and ONE with God and the spirit world and that our guardian angels never leave our side. This book has brought me comfort, reassurance & a renewed spirituality.
