Am not very religious, though I think this must be a great book for spiritual growth, the author indeed provides enough information on spirituality

I love that this book appears to be somewhat of a spiritual self help book and that details her struggles with PTSD. Thank you for the well-written review!

I don't believe in chats between an inner guidance of another person and myself.

Sounds like a very good book for those who might have seen dark days in the past. Even though I don't fall under that category, I can't wait to get soothed and inspired by the author's words. Thanks for the insightful review.

The review seems thorough, but I do not feel moved to read the book. All the same, I think the author bravely faced down her life's trauma.

Religious and spiritual books are just not my cup of tea. Still I'm sure the book will find its reader. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

The author's open-minded spiritual approach is an evidence that the book is a heaven-sent opportunity. Thanks for sharing.

The thing I like best about the book is the author’s benevolent nature and forthrightness. I found myself feeling calmer reading the soothing and thoughtful words on the page. As someone who was badly bullied as a child, who has been in abusive relationships, and who has generally felt alienated for most of my life, the text made me feel as if there was a chance that I too might be valued on some level.
I understand it can be hard to acknowledge when you've been through this kind of situation, but you're valuable. I just thought I'd remind you. :)
I applaud your open-mindedness. Not a lot of non-believers would be willing to read a spiritual book with respect and openness to learn. I'm glad it brought you some peace.
Thank you for your insightful review!

I like that you enjoyed reading this book that was based on Christian theology even though you are agnostic. I think that if Christianity had more voices like the author's we could become closer together as a society. I am appreciative of the author opening herself up and discussing the abuse she experienced as a child. I can also relate to the author and the reviewer since I had an abusive childhood as well as being a victim of bullying.

It would be amazing to have a spiritual guidance. Author's courage to keep going even in ungrateful circumstances is a motivation too! I'd love reading this book! Thank you for giving such a marvelous insight in the review!

This book involving a brief volume of inspirational information channeled by the author from her spirit guides sounds like a nice read. I like it that there are no “fire and brimstone” or scolding of doubters or non-believers. However; I have no interest in learning more about spirituality, and I'll pass on this one. Thanks for your review.

I will want to read this book! I may not agree with spiritual guides but I am interested to know how the author uses it in the book. Thanks for a wonderful review!
