Review: Iyanla Vanzant is a talented and inspiring sister. I can't thank her enough for sharing her gift. This book is a serious guide to dealing with every situation that exists and now the prospect of being in the valley is not frightening because I can see my way out. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Summary: Truly a masterpiece!!!
Review: Iyanla's book is one which every woman SHOULD have, because we all go through our own ordeal at one point in time - whether we choose to admit it or not."Value in the Valley" helps us to realise that the "inner voice" always guides us and makes us understand why we do the things we do. But for this book to be truly effective, it takes a woman to reach a point where she's courageous enough to trust herself.

Review: On March 4, a female relative and friend of mine celebrated her 29th birthday. A blast from the past had blown into her life turning what should have been a most joyous day into one that she will not forget. She called upon me to comfort her and I called upon a few passages from "The Value In the Valley" to help her see that only she defines her destiny. Needless but important to say, the next day my sister-friend called me to say that she was glad that I was there for her and that the words of encouragement helped her to look at her situation realistically so that she could move up and out of the situation. Until that day, I had forgotten that I had the book but spirit guides you to resources when you need them the most. Thank you for being there for me so that I could be there for her.

Summary: A must-have book for all women (of color and otherwise).
Review: The Spirit always gives you what you need, when you need it. That was the underlying theme that Iyanla presented to me throughout the book. Trust yourself. Listen to that innner voice, which I must confess I had tuned down to a whisper. Take your own counsel. Just what I needed to hear and to practice. Thanks sister. Once again you are SO ON TIME.

Summary: Like a cleansing, invigorating shower...
Review: Think of this book as the long way around the points given in "Faith In The Valley": on one hand, if some of those weren't expained enough for you, this book breaks them all down. On the other hand, if you're impatient or have a short attention span, save it for a rainy day or the line @ the DMV. It's chock full of empowering points and lovingly explained, taking nothing for granted and guiding you all the way. "Value" is a treasure, and can actually help you get out of those ruts and start on your individual issues. Iyanla is like your favorite, non-judgmental aunt, and we're blessed that she's sharing her observations from the trenches with us. You GO Iylana: keep that knowledge flowing!!!
