Let Your Spirit Guides Speak: A Simple Guide for a Life of Purpose, Abundance, and Joy
"Live without your spirit guides and you miss out on an enormous support system that could make your life infinitely easier and more enjoyable."
This is a clear and thoughtful introduction to building relationships with your spirit guides. It shows readers how helpful spirit guides and angels can be in everything from the simplest to the most challenging of life decisions and how easy they are to connect with, too.
Our spirit guides help us
Fulfill our purposeMake decisions that will move us forward fasterStop sabotaging ourselves as well as judging ourselves and everyone elseRemember that we are more than our job or house or relationshipSee ourselves as beautiful and everything in life as a giftGive ourselves and everybody else a breakKeep growing until the day we leave our bodies behindGo beyond the life we hoped for and onto the life we never even imaginedAnd they do all of these things when we're ready and not a nanosecond before. They also often come quietly. As the author "If we expect help from Spirit to arrive with the sound of trumpets and blinding light, we'll overlook all the nuanced help that's delivered in small ways every day."

About the author
Debra Landwehr Engle
19 books226 followersI grew up loving books. Some of my earliest memories are of trips to the grand old library in downtown Des Moines, where we'd pull book after book off the shelves in the children's section and carry them home with great anticipation. I still remember the feel of those books, and the smell of the pages and bindings that had been loosened and wrinkled by so many readers who loved the books as much as I did.
One of my sisters (I'm the youngest of six kids) and I had an ongoing contest to see who could read the most Newbery Award books. At the library, we'd pick up bookmarks that listed all the award winners, then we'd lose ourselves in Islands of the Blue Dolphins, Up a Road Slowly and A Wrinkle in Time.
Today, books continue to nourish me—as both a reader and author. I find that, when I write, I do exactly the same things as when I read: sink deep into a story, experience “ah-ha” moments that make me put the book down for a moment to catch my breath, and see myself and the world in new ways.
Years ago, in meditation, I suddenly had an image of myself sitting in front of a coffee table covered with books that I'd written or contributed to. This was before my first book was published, so I was VERY surprised (and intrigued!) to see those volumes, looking as if they already existed. I had the sense that writing them had been easy—that they had created themselves.
Now, several books later, I can tell you they weren't always easy:) But each had a reason for being written—-a story that needed to be told, an inspiration that insisted on being shared, a message that was determined to change the world.
I think of a book as the fulfillment of a contract between the author who follows her internal guidance, and the readers who select the book—hopefully with the same anticipation my sister and I had for those Newbery Award winners.
Books come about because, as writers and readers, we say yes to a seed of inspiration and then allow it to grow within us. "We read to know we're not alone," said C.S. Lewis’ character in Shadowlands. I’m happy, and infinitely grateful, to write for the same reason.

I’m surprised I’m the first one to leave a review on Goodreads! Now I feel this great pressure to leave a decent review haha.
This was a wonderful introduction to spirit guides, perfect for beginners like myself. One thing I liked was that the author wrote this with a neutral approach, meaning she didn’t explain spiritual guides in the context of any specific religion or belief.
The book was able to answer a couple of key issues that I’ve personally faced such as “how come I can’t see my spirit guides?” and “I don’t feel spiritual enough to connect with guides”.
The author repeatedly emphasizes that spiritual connection to your guides is personal and unique to you. It is just a matter of getting to know them and making that effort.
This book made me feel more confident in my own spirit journey & my spiritual abilities. It was well written and I recommend this to any beginner whom are interested in developing their spirituality.
