Summary: All Praises to Iyanla
Review: Here we find the words we all look for when we find ourselves speechless, and at a momentary loss for ideas of what to do next. I know here is Oakland, many sisters refer to this book as the "other book next to the bed". We were blessed with a visit from the sister to talk about "The Spirit of A Man", but found that anything written is evidence of her ability to incorporate her words into pages. I have to order a second book since my sister friend "won't" return mine. I feel this book is one we all should read. Those of us that are constantly doing spiritual work to better ourselves know this as a reference tool for all times. The sister's work is phenomenal. Thanks for being on Oprah show this week and sharing Iyanla. I have been waiting for your prime time conversations with the world. But, most importantly, keep writing the books. We can take them everywhere. I can't put a value on "The Value". Peace and Blessings

Summary: Iyanla touches my soul
Review: I am a big fan of motivational and self-help books. I have read many in my lifetime. Mostly good, some so-so. It is important to read a book relevant to what one is going through at that time to get the full scope of things from the book we read I believe. Iyanla's books are one of them and one of my favourite authors. The first book I got from Iyanla's collection was "Yesterday I Cried" and that had helped me through the ditch I was going through at that time. A friend of mine recommended a book of hers "One day My Soul Just Opened Up" which at that time I had already knew about her and went on to search on amazon her other publications and purchased the whole series of her books. Yeh - crazy me! But hey, she's good! I like her approach in the way she writes and conveys her message. It's real. I can relate to her. I have almost the whole collection of her books that she has published and reading them one by one as I go through my life's ups and downs. For the past few months I've been going through many valleys, I started reading "The Value In The Valley" which has given me many insights into my own valleys that I am going through and have gone through and approach life and my valleys in a different light. I have just purchased the Audio CD version of it to listen while I drive or at home. Can't wait to get it and the rest of the motivational goodies I just got from other authors. :) Thumbs up to this book as well as Iyanla's other books. Thank you Iyanla for all the insights your book has given me. :)

Summary: EXCELLENT, HELPS YOU RECOGNIZE YOUR ISSUES IN LIFE
Review: I attended the NABSW Conference in New Orleans,LA. Ms. Vanzant was the keynote speaker at the conclusion of the conference. The sister is so powerful that I immediately went to the library when I came back to Memphis. I checked out three of her books and decided I wanted to have my personal copy. Now I am purchasing them one by one. I hope to have all of them by the end of the year. I have never wanted to collect anything! Not until now. Every woman needs to read this book!!!! When you are in the valley, you really need to know why and how to get out.

Summary: The best of the best
Review: I don't think I can ever find another book which explains human nature and our tendencies to try to solve other people's problems better. If you are looking to find yourself or are confused about certain issues, I would reccommend that you read this book. I guarantee after you read this book you will have a new outlook.

Review: I enjoyed this book tremendously. It taught me alot of things about myself. If I find myself in a particular situation,I just go back to the book and find out what valley I'm in. Most of the time I am in a small valley and not a steep one.

Summary: So Good I Had To Read It Three Times
Review: I was first turned onto this book when I raided my sister's bookshelf. She is just as avid a reader as me and I go over her house to get reading material whenever I have run through all of my own. Now I own a copy of this book myself. I just had to have it. No book has come closer to evaluating my real life. If the things in one chapter didn't happen to me, then they have certainly happened to someone I know. I think this book should be required reading for all women, no matter what their age or race. It helps put a method to the madness of our daily lives and the things we endure in relationships.

Summary: The value in the valley
Review: This book knocked me for six. An extraordinary and powerful piece. Definately not for the faint hearted. I had to keep putting it down to cry my eyes out. It exposes you completely and empowers you in a way that you can never imagine. I found that i had to keep putting it down several times before i could finish. I described the "value in the valley" to one of my friends as a knock out in the ring. I am not just recommending this to every single female but also male readers. It's helped guide me through a difficult period. I was able to make a very confusing, difficult and the most important decision my life look so easy.Iyanla, when would you be coming to London?
