Now in paperback, bestselling self-help author Melody Beattie’s concise, inspirational guide shows us that we have the ability to make miracles for almost any circumstance we’re facing—and provides a six-week action plan to jumpstart transformation in our lives.
We’ve all had situations in our lives that seem beyond our control or that have no clear remedy. Despite how helpless we feel, in Make Miracles in Forty Days, Beattie argues that ability to enact change rests within ourselves. A writer who has become, over the course of twenty-five years, a trusted friend for millions of readers, she now offers the ultimate distillation of what she learned about gratitude, surrender, and connecting with our essential power. Beattie helps us establish the miracles we’d like to create and then step-by-step walks us through her innovative Miracle Exercise, which combines the most powerful spiritual and recovery principles into a simple activity that can be done individually, with a partner, or as part of a group. Along the way, she reveals her own experiences of making miracles, and those of the participants in her Miracle Workshop. These moving stories of overcoming hardship and finding acceptance and forgiveness are an inspiration to us all to move forward with a renewed vigor for life. To aid our journeys, Beattie has begun, for the first time ever, to engage her audience online at MelodyBeattie.org. The response has been phenomenal from “I have noticed the changes in my life…more peace and acceptance,” and “there is a gift in this and I’m not going to miss a moment of it” to “thank you for being…authentic and real,” and “your books have changed my life.”
