While reading this book I actually was talking to myself , saying things about how nice but simple the whole presentation was, but then.....suddenly the complex and powerful, deep meaning had an overwhelming effect on me. I have Lymphoma and had just finished not so fun chemotherapy. My background as a college football player gave me the strength and courage to put up a strong fight and deal with the many side affects chemo creates. I knew I needed to have a very positive outlook to whip this thing and everyone felt I had it under control. Never missed a day of work, came in, in the afternoons, after treatments in the mornings. But the Twelve Gifts for Healing made me realize in order to heal I had to believe not just act. It made me realize I needed to release the bitterness and anger that I still harbored internally. I have a qoute that came to mind:
"Bitterness consumes the capsule that contains it" Twelve Gifts allowed me to release these feelings and actually forgive myself for becoming sick. Yes I felt giulty, must have deserved it somehow, I thought. This is truly a great book that delivers a powerful message and I hope many others are fortunate enought o experience it's healing inspiration.

This is an exceptionally beautiful and touching book. My daughter is being treated for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and The Twelve Gifts for Healing brought comfort and courage to her, my cancer patient friends and to me.

Soothing words and pictures give encouragement to someone going through troubled times. Verses cause us to reflect on what is truly important in life. Would recommend without reservation.

I highly recommend this book! Any age or issue from physical healing to everyday problems. The book reads in a matter of a few minutes. Its message will resonate with you all day. It reunited me with my heart, and a willingness to be my authetic self. The message is simple, yet POWERFUL. It re-acquainted me with what I've always known though forgot to remember. And, gives me permission (and a responsibility) to "go within" on a regular basis. For if "We don't go within, we go without". (I don't know who to credit for that saying).
Charlene, you are an angel on earth. May you receive the blessings you give to others.

I had the opportunity to give this wonderful book to a dear friend of mine who was going through chemo-therapy for Hodgkins Disease. Although my intent was to bring a touching and inspirational message to her, I found myself using the messages in my own life for areas that needed healing. No matter the reason, you can find comfort in the words of wisdom Charlene shares. Charlene's own story makes the story that much more poignant. Thank you for giving us such a gift!

I read this book from cover to cover in about five minutes. It is as another reviewer described it, as an expanded Hallmark card. But that is exactly what I was looking for to send a friend who had just lost her sister whom she was very close to. I just wanted to send some little gift that would serve as a pick-me-up during those times when she felt really down and one that would let her know I cared and was thinking of her. This book was perfect - a simple message of hope and inner strength with beautiful illustrations.

This is a terrific book for looking inward and rethinking your space and life. Arrived within days of ordering - so that was fabulous. We are going to use it with our Bible Study group.

I GAVE THIS AS A GIFT i NEVER SAW IT. i KNOW IT ARRIVED QUICKLY AND SHE SAID IT WAS WONDERFUL'

My brother died only a month ago today. All I can say is that I am so grateful to this author for writing a book that is helping my family to heal.
I am a fan of many of her books. I can count on Charlene to have told a story for the passages of my life. Truly an author who understands the fragility of the human heart.
