Focused Meditations

This is a wonderful book to stick to every morning, it helps put a good viewpoint on and week.

Excellent Book

This is another hit by author Melody Beattie. I am a huge fan of her work. This is an interesting book because each week you deal with a different topic.

a healing read

I've been a fan of Melody Beattie's books for many years. Her uncomplicated, warm voice has often been a port in my stormy recovery from CoDa, ACA and substance abuse issues. This journal has been helpful as a weekly/daily study tool, or sometimes I just play roulette with it, randomly opening to a page to receive a message that I need that in that moment. In any event, I always receive a healing meditation.

Outstanding meditations

The author gives real life examples for when the particular "Value" is applicable. Then she gives us Application, Challenges we may face, personal Inventory Focus, Action to take, Gratitude Focus for the value and finishes with a Prayer. These don't need to be done one week at a time. Use any that may apply at any time. In fact, I could hardly stop reading and learning. I not only get great personal insight and results from these meditations I also lead a meditation group weekly and occasionally bring these ideas to the floor with very good results for the members as well. Thank you Melody.

A daily inspiration

I love this book! As I've been going through a personal crisis, I have been reading various books and this one has hit home for me. Each chapter that I read seems to speak directly to me with concise but uplifting words. I recommend this book to anyone who is struggling with their faith and is looking for support.
