I keep this book in my desk at work. At lunch I read the day's message from the author. So many times spending a few minutes reading this will turn my day around with perspective and appreciation for the positive aspects of life. The truths here are simple, as are many of the stories John Powell shares, and yet written with creativity and style. Give your soul the spiritual gift of a few moments a day with this author.

Daily reflections from John Powell's writings gives encouragement in a sometimes hostile world. John Powell helps us see how we can become a better person, more loving and most of all more compassionate. As we reflect where we are and where we are going we realize that the journey has just begun but we can be more accepting of ourselves and others, therefore creating a better environment to grow in the person we are meant to be. Other meditative books that I have been reading are God Calling and Grace in Every Season: Through the Year With Catherine De Hueck Doherty

The marriage preparation program in our parish is all about communication. Many of the issues about self esteem, love, and treatment of others are addressed beautifully in Through Seasons of the Heart. My husband and I give this book to each couple we sponsor. It is excellent.

The book provides a quiet thoughtful meditative way of starting my day. Each day I read a page that coincides with the day's date. The author writes about the relationships in our lives and how love, gratitude and empathy are so important to the reader. He weaves into his writings the love Jesus has for each of us and how the reader reflects this love for others in his/her daily life.

Through Seasons of the Heart is a wonderful book for daily reflection. John Powell focuses on the down to earth everyday struggles we each face within our own hearts. Don't expect miracles, but read each day and let the thoughts build one upon the other until your heart begins to change.

I own this book and recently bought it as a gift. I highly recommend it.

This is an excellent daily reader . Among other things, it offers a lot of sound advice about dealing with others and understanding your self.
