Great book! Very helpful with my spiritual growth and Amazon Customer Great book ! Very helpful with my spiritual growth and healing. "Disappointed" according to Susan. If you're a regular journaler you probably don't need this book. I was disappointed by it. It didn't offer me anything I didn't already know. The review says it offers techniques for journaling but there weren't very many and I already knew them just from my own practice. If you already journal don't waste your money on this.
