5.0 out of 5 stars 10/10 I HIGHLYYYYY Recommend!!!
“Grief is not solely the sorrow experienced after the loss of a loved one; it can also stem from significant life changes.” Faith and Feelings is a guided journal that offers meaningful support through any form of grief you may be facing.

I highly recommend this journal; it has been tremendously helpful to me.” Thank you so much Mrs. Woods for this wonderful masterpiece 💛 — Vianka Amazon Book Review

5.0 out of 5 stars Grief is not linear
I never consider myself to be one who journals my days or thoughts. But, this is the first time in my life that I’ve taken an interest in doing these exercises while tapping into my faith. With Faith and Feelings, I get to go at my own pace when I feel like it, and that totally changes the game for me. I encourage you to pick up a copy to begin your own journey. --Sherry-Ann Amazon Book Review

Sometimes we get caught up in daily life and don’t reflect and process our feelings and grief. These prompts and this journal have allowed me to take a moment t a process my feelings reflect and take away those feelings and use them for personal growth and self awareness. - Jennifer F.

5.0 out of 5 stars A reflection of quiet times in a tangible way
I bought this journal just before the passing of a dear friend, and I now write my thoughts and memories of our friendship in this journal. As I use the various scriptures verses to guide me through my writing I find peace, joy and even laughter in expressing my thoughts and feelings. This journal reflects my quiet time in a tangible way.

This is no ordinary reflective journal. It challenges the reader to go beyond their normal day to day thoughts. The prompts and scriptures throughout the journal encourages a deeper level of connecting with and owing your feelings and asking the Lord for help. In addition to being in the word, it facilitates healing. I highly recommend you experiencing this reflective journal for yourself.
