5.0 out of 5 stars Reading this book changed my life, December 23, 1999

This review is from: Success Is the Quality of Your Journey (Paperback)

I received this book as a gift years ago when it first came out. Now the pages are worn and falling out and there are dog-ears all through it. Jennifer's words were always the perfect crutch/inspiration/sanctuary over the years. I offer her words to others now who consult me on children, crises, self-esteem or any of the many things we all struggle with. I have made this book part of the tapestry of my life and the colors are much more vibrant for having read and re-read and lived it. Thank you, Jennifer.

5.0 out of 5 stars An easy to read aid to self exploration and discovery!!, July 30, 1999

This review is from: Success Is the Quality of Your Journey (Paperback)

Jennifer James has the talent to instill her wisdom into a short sentence, paragrapgh or page, yet packing the power to drastically and positively change your life! This book covers so many day to day topics of life's ups and downs that it is a steal at any price! I became acquainted with this book during a time of re-discovery. I had just come out of a 12 year marriage in which I had lost sight of exactly who I was and how I fit into the current world. Never being a big reader, I really enjoyed the power of her words in short vignettes which provoked my self examination. No, she did not just give me all the answers I was seeking, instead, she provoked me into self discovery which led me to my own conclusions and decisions. Thank you, Jennifer! I have sent or recommended this book to many friends and have received nothing but praise about your work!
