Do you want more inspiration for your journal writing journey?
My friend and colleague, Emma-Louise Elsey, founder of The Coaching Tools Company, recently co-authored an article for her blog on GET Journaling: 15 of the Best Journaling Books. We are both coaches and avid journal writers. We brought our shared passion for journaling (and books) together to create a list of some (not all) of our favourite journaling books to help you get journaling!
In this article we cover:

Feel welcome to add any of your favourite journal writing books in the comments below.
I highly recommend Christina Baldwin’s LIFE’S COMPANION: JOURNAL WRITING AS A SPIRITUAL QUEST and Stephanie Dowrick’s CREATIVE JOIRNAL WRITING: THE ART AND HEART OF REFLECTION. These two would be on my Top Five list along with Rainer, Adams, and–leaving a slot open here until I get a chance to see THE GREAT BOOK OF JOURNALING, which I hope will make it onto my list as well.
Hi Paula, thanks for your comment here. I hope THE GREAT BOOK OF JOURNALING will make it onto your list too :)
