Book Description

Publication Date: September 2, 2008

Everyone has a hurt, hang-up, or habit that they want to conquer, and this guided journal will help change lives through the power of personal reflection.

This is not simply a book of blank pages for writing. This journal prompts readers throughout the book to direct their thoughts in a healthy direction so they can recognize the hurts in their lives, the hang-ups that limit them, or the habits that control them. As they write down their responses, readers discover the natural steps to recovery and are able to express themselves in helpful and healthy ways while moving into a fuller life.

This review is from: Life's Healing Choices Guided Journal: Freedom from Your Hurts, Hang-ups, and Habits (Hardcover)

While this book seems to follow the path of 123 step programs I have found both the book and the journal a great resource in helping to focus on the letting go and letting God as well as discussion items for helping to heal relationships.

This review is from: Life's Healing Choices Guided Journal: Freedom from Your Hurts, Hang-ups, and Habits (Hardcover)

This guided journal is a great guide to intimate time with GOD and meditation on each of the study points in the Life's Healing Choices book. Yes it asks the same questions that come at the end of each chapter of the book, but it asks deeper questions and gives you space to write it down. It causes you to get deeper into letting GOD heal you - opening your heart more. It's more than a guided journal - its a decision-maker assistant.
