I have been associated with Amazon.com for about 5 months now and have found them an honorable and admirable partner (something I can’t say about my experiences with huge chain book stores.) They offer discounts on most of the books listed below. They also offer gift-wrapping, let people add gift messages, and will ship anywhere in the world. Search engines for their entire catalog are available at the bottom of the page.There are now so many books out there dealing with codependence, inner child healing, Spiritual enlightenment, Metaphysical Truth, etc. - that it is both good news and bad news (as everything in life is, of course.) The good news is that there are so many books out there about healing and Spirituality that it is sure evidence of the Healing Transformational Movement that is taking place on the planet. The bad news is that there are so many books out there that it must be very confusing for anyone going to buy a book.
One of the things I learned along my path was to pay attention to what got my attention. The Universe is fully capable of sending me messages at any place and any time. My job is to be as conscious as I can be in the moment so that I can allow the Spirit to guide me. One of the things I did in the early years of my process was to go into a book store and page through the various books - when I read something that caused my gut to react I figured that my inner child, my Spirit, was telling me I needed that book. (I would usually buy it with more than a little apprehension - wondering what was going to be revealed next.) So, even though you cannot pick these books up and leaf through them you can go to the description page and read about them. If something grabs your attention, maybe it is the Universe sending a message.
In this book store I recommend the books that were important to my process and also list the books of authors whose work I respect. I have listed multiple titles by these authors even though I have not read all of them - because I know the value of their work and trust the Spirit to guide you to the ones you need. That an author is not listed here is certainly no comment on the value of their work - this is simply a short list of the people whose work I know and trust. (And at this stage in my Recovery it is only proper that I list my book first - I am very proud of it.)

Codependence: The Dance of Wounded Souls by Robert Burney
Codependence: The Dance of Wounded Souls "An Audio Spiritual Experience"
(For special offers on the book and tape set directly from Joy to You & Me go to the ordering information page.)
The one book that impacted my healing path more than any other was Richard Bach’s Illusions. Great
mind expanding story which appeared at a perfect time in my journey. 
The Bridge Across Forever is a love story about Richard finding
his soul mate. It touched me deeply. It was also amusing to see
him go from the magnificent intellectual exercise that was Illusions to be
confronted with his fear of intimacy and emotional turmoil in this book.
A Great Daily Meditation Book - full of Love. Everyone needs a
copy. A great Christmas Gift. I prefer this one to her more recent one (below.)
Melody’s guide to working the Twelve Steps is the best that I have seen
for Codependents.
In my opinion, Codependent No More is still the best basic book
for anyone new to the concept of Codependence. She gives great behavioral
examples which can’t help but hit home. 
John Bradshaw’s PBS series on the family was a true breakthrough
in cultural consciousness. 
Pia Mellody was one of the people who helped define the concept of codependence.
To me some of her most important work has been in the area of love addiction.
Healing the Child Within was a very important part of my inner
child journey. I have great respect for Charles Whitfields work.
Lucia very effectively uses art therapy to help you get in touch
with your inner child. One of the first things I
did when I wanted to start getting in touch with my inner child was to get
BIG crayons for small hands. Later collages were an important part of
my process. 
Though not a book specifically for inner child work Julia’s book is
great for helping you get in touch with feelings because the doorway to our
creativity is through the child within.. Do her writing exercise every
day for a couple of weeks and you will get in touch with some of the feelings
of your inner child. 
I spent many years healing my inner child and my feminine without even considering
that I needed to heal my masculine. This book was an important part of my
path.
An important and empowering book for women.
Other men’s books that I used were: 
One of the really important groundbreaking books that served as a
wake up call for a lot of women.
The Courage to Heal is the definitive work for survivors of sexual
abuse. Originally for women survivors - this workbook is now for men
and women.
The Medicine Cards and Book have been a very important tool in
my recovery and are still right where I can pick them up anytime. 
Positive affirmations are absolutely vital to the process in my opinion
- as I talk about on my page about positive affirmations. I think Shakti
Gawain is the best in this area.
