This review is from: How to Mend a Broken Heart (Paperback)

This book really hits all the right areas that you feel during a breakup. As he said he has been there too. Therefore you can tell that his advice is coming from the heart. I am not a religous person, but this book allows you to explore what beliefs you have and feel the comfort that you are not alone in this battle. Try this book, its inexpensive so you dont have much to lose. The advice is down to earth and put in terms you can relate to. The very exact thoughts that went through my head are described in the book and how you can manage those thoughts. Good luck to all of you. I hope this will help.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Book for someone who has or is suffering from a loss, April 21, 1997

This review is from: How to Mend a Broken Heart: 20 Active Ways to Healing (Paperback)

I have read this book and find it very helpful in dealing with my own recent separation from a wife of 31 years. His advice is very good and will cause one to think and better still to think positively. I'm going to buy a couple more copies to give to a friend and to my pastor to use / recommend in his counseling efforts

For those of you going through a breakup this book will surely provide comfort. It is small enough to carry around with you so as to keep you positive during hard moments. It has many wise words of wisdom that are quite enlightening and thought provoking. It does have a Christian base in it but for those of you who are not, this element does not take away from the true value of the work. It is highly recommended.
