Summary: TAKE YOUR TIME WITH THIS BOOK, PLEASE.
Review: Do not try to read this book all the way through or in one sitting. You will be overstuffed, as if you have eaten a large and tasty meal. You will miss the flavorful seasoning, the tender morsels, the fresh, handpicked ingredients with which this book was prepared, if you read too quickly. Trust me, I have made this mistake in the past. I am now learning how to appreciate each word and concept by rereading it sl-o-o-o-wly.My suggestion would be to read one chapter per week (or per month!) and concentrate on it. Or maybe find out what valley you are in and only read about that particular one. Or you could even ask a silent question, then open the book and read wherever Spirit guides you. Can I give this book 6 stars?

Summary: Very good books. I have at least seven. Waiting on the next
Review: For each book Iyanla Vanzant has written that has a tape I have purchased it. I love her books and they are making a difference in my everyday living. I am not as stressed with day to day living as I have been. I am no longer in the basement. I have reached the first floor and I am preparing for the second floor. I listen to her audio book while I drive. She has the type of voice that I can listen to over and over again. I hope she never has anyone else do her books. Other than Ruby Dee. I feel like she wrote the books for me. I'm waiting on the next book I understand that Amazon just has not gotten it in yet. But my money is ready for it. I tell you I can not get enough of Mrs. Iyanla Vanzant I Love her books and I have gotten many of my friends and Coworker interested also. We discusse her books often. I purchase books for my friends that I think it could help. We thank you Iyanla Vanzant

Summary: Submerging into this book, caused my soul to just open up!
Review: Greetings: As I began to read this book I experienced every situation all over again. But, this time with more clarity, understanding, focus, belief and wisdom. My sister I know that God has His hands on you because no one else could have come across with such intellect, honesty and soundness. Thank you!! For once in my life I started something and completed it. This book!! I am an aspiring writer that has a call to keep and a God to glorify. My book has been sitting on the shelf for over a hear until I read your book. Now I am pecking away on my keyboard and will soon be saving souls through my experiences and the anointing of the Holy Ghost. I would like to leave everyone with a verse of scripture...How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of the messenger who announces peace, who brings good news, who announces salvation, who says to Zion, "Your God reigns." If ever in Atlanta please stop by New Birth Missionary Baptist Church at 2778 Snapfinger Rd. Where we are raising up Disciples ordained to take back what the devil has stolen. May God richly bless you and yours. Amazed by His Grace, Gwen G. Smith

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.

Summary: The Value in the Valley: A Black Woman's Guide Through Life
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.
