This book is a wonderful way to begin your own Journey to your Heart. It has literally changed my life. It talks of feeling all your feelings, good or bad and helped me to realize that pain as well as happiness are all part of life. I want to thank Melody Beattie for writing this book and sharing her experience of her spiritual travels and her own Journey to the Heart. Each day that I read from these pages, I am inspired. I see the world in a different light and am able to find an inner peace that is hard to find in this tough world.

This is a magical book. I have had a copy since 1996. At first I devoured it, reading many meditations at one sitting. What Melanie Beattie has to say nurtured my Soul and gave me direction. Then one day I started shaking the book and just opening the book to a random page, but it was never random. What I read was usually very relevant to that moment. Her words were just what I needed to cast away self doubt or understand a situation or provide guidance for my life. Melanie Beattie has great wisdom. I hope you find it as useful as I continue to find it - 11 years later. Enjoy.

What a blessing this book has been for me! i bought a copy for many people i know. melody beattie has touched my heart and helped me through so many stages of my life. i highly recommend this 'bible' for everyone. it helps the path to heal and move forward in positive and warming ways. i will need to buy myself another copy soon since mine is underlined and used so often. treat yourself to a special gift- and let melody walk you through your own path to the journey to your own heart.

Lovely book : I read it every night before going to sleep and it takes all my cares away. It also gived me sweet dreams.

Buy it. And get one for your best friend who is going through a bad time.

This book really has changed my life. I've read it cover-to-cover at least five times and each time I read it I am inspired. Melody's words truly are a "melody to the soul." I've shared quotes from the book with friends and family and they have all said they just had to purchase a copy for themselves. Today I'm buying one for my 19-year old niece who is just discovering "who she is" and has said she wants to grow spirituality. I'm sure this book will give her spiritual concepts to consider throughout the day and will help her to develop an open mind and a loving heart.

I LOVE THIS BOOK!!! I have made a commitment to myself to read each daily reading BEFORE I get out of bed in the morning. I can't tell you how much of a positive mindset this puts me in for the day ahead--an unconscious mindset, but a positive mindset still the same. Most of the underlying messages are things that I already know in my heart to be true, but to see them in black and white and be reminded of them daily is so very inspirational. I purchased this book for myself in June 1998 and have already given it as a gift to three of my closest friends--all of them have loved it. I would highly recommend this book for anyone seeking inner peace and a deeper connection within themselves. Thank you, Melody, for a wonderful start to my day.

My mom bought this for me 6 years ago, and I still read it almost daily. Year after year, the lessons always feel timely, relevant and refreshing. I have also given this book to friends, who continue to cherish it as much as I do.

The message of self-nurturing is clear in this book. Beattie allows us to make mistakes and get on with it, and she encourages us to look around at the learning opportunities afforded in every situation.

Having given countless copies away to friends and strangers alike, I find I can't keep it "in stock."

What a wonderful compilation of down-to-earth advice and contemplation about all aspects of life's journey. Reading this book always leaves me feeling comforted and grounded. You will savor each day's reading and want to "skip" days ahead to read what else the author has to say about a particular situation or feeling. BUY THIS BOOK FOR YOURSELF AND ALL THE IMPORTANT WOMEN IN YOUR LIFE! It will bring you peace and a new sense of ease in your way of thinking.

Journey to Heart is my evening meditation reading. I travel with Melody as she reflects on the physical, emotional, and spiritual journey that she took. I love the messages that she shares. They reflect the divine that she experienced and they speak to the divine in me. The title says it all; a wonderful journey that gives the soul wings.
