Summary: Outstanding!
Review: This book is exactly what I needed when I found myself deep into several valleys at the same time. It has really made a tremendous impact on my life and the lives of those who are closest to me. As I continue to work my way out of my valley's, you can bet this book will be there every step of the way . Thanks for the spiritual uplifting and awareness, sister Iyanla, it's just what I needed. In fact, I encourage every sister to read it whether you feel as though you are in a valley or not.

Summary: A "MUST HAVE" for all women - keep it as a desk reference.
Review: This book is on my desk at home and work for reference as is any dictionary or thesaurus. Every woman I know has experienced a "LOW" a "VALLEY". This book helps you identify with those "lows" those "valleys" that you are going through - have been through and coming out of. The author encourages you to connect with "Your" higher power to walk by faith out of those valleys. I will read this book again and again! Thank you Sister Vanzant for your encouragement!

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?

Summary: Thank you for light on my soul during my darkest time
Review: This book reads like a road map to inner peace, tranquility and understanding of life. Why are we here? Why do we experience these changes? What are we doing wrong? We find that we are here to love and be loved in return. To struggle past the obstacles, roadblocks, and u-turns we sometimes make. It all has a purpose and it all makes us who we are. This book was a true revelation to me about me. My spiritual road blocks have been dealt with. Of course the journey continues. But I can now read the map.

Summary: A Wonderful Inspiring Book for ALL Women!
Review: This book was recommended to me by a black woman. She said it was a book for black women but it's really for all women. It will help you understand the misfortunes in your life and why we go through the same pain over and over again. When I started to read it, I found myself relating to a lot of the stories these women went through. And then she would explain why we choose the people we choose and why we go through it anyway when we know it's not good for us. I thought it was amazing. I have been recommending it to every woman I know ever since. It's an inspiring book and helps you become strong or stronger. It helps you empower yourself to controlling your life the way you would really want to live it. Definitely a book to read and have in your collection!

Summary: A MUST read for all women regardless of ethnic origin
Review: This is truly one of the best books that I have ever read. From start to finsh, the author captivated me with her spiritual and inspirational style of writing. It is also one of the few books that I did not want to rush to get to the ending. I wanted to savour every last drop of inspiration and knowledge this novel had to offer. I recommend this book to any woman who has ever gone through trials and tribulations in her life. And I don't know any who have'nt. I wish I could have read a book like this a long time ago. I know I would have had a different outlook on life. After reading it, I gave it to my 23 year old daughter to borrow until her copy comes in that I purchased. This is a book you'll want to refer back to time and again. The "valley" she talks about in her book, is what one goes through in life. The "value" is what one learns, when she comes out of the valley, if she truly gets it. There is a whole lot of "value in the valley". This book has really changed my life, and made me a better person. Too bad the rating ONLY went up to five stars. If you or someone you know find yourself in the valley, do yourself a favor and get this book. You will not be sorry.Ms. Jackson

Summary: So Close to Home
Review: This was a painful book for me to read. You see, I was going through a very painful break-up and this book seemed like it was written about me. Can you believe it? I got angry. I was mad that Iyanla Vanzant had put my business in the street. I put this book down a number of times, unable to face the pain of dealing with my own issues. Well, I finally dealt with my "stuff" and finished the book. The power of this book is in its matter of fact, sister to sister, presentation of the obvious. Here in a book is all that good advice, all that stuff you already knew but ignored and really wished you hadn't. Get this book, read it, and pass it on. And yes, take it personally, its the only way to get the full benefit and blessing. Thank you Iyanla.

Summary: Understanding, cleansing lessons for the thirsty mind...
Review: Understanding, cleansing lessons for the thirsty mind of a lost spirit. It is nice to know that someone has gotten an insight into the problems/issues that weigh down our lives such as OPP and lack of love for self. Thank You Iyanla! for helping me back on the road to finding and connecting with my spiritual self.

Summary: I am about to start reading this book
Review: Yes, I already gave it five stars, because I read one of her other books "Tapping The Power Within...." When I was about 14 or 15 years old, I was in a afterschool class, and the instructor gave us each a copy of "Acts of Faith." The title of the book was very powerful to me, and I tried to read it then, but I was not ready. See, thats the thing about most self help books like these, you must be READY to read them. I actually got "Tapping the Power Within..." last month from my counselor, thats when I realized I still had two of her other books. My aunt also bought me one of her books when I was of the age 14, because I was going through a tough time. The book was called "Don't Give it Away." Which I am now in my THIRD YEAR OF COLLEGE... YAYY ME, and I passed the book down to my sister. (Also, I wanted to leave this portion of my message for a poster on here named Tigress "JD": Do not feel stupid for buying a collection of her books. Actually, I had just did the same thing. I am about to buy more of her books).Its quite hard choosing which books to read. I am currently reading the "Acts fo Faith" day by day, and I have finished reading "Tapping The Power Within" Which is helping me a lot. The following books I already have purchased was already shipped to me is "Faith in the Valley," "Living Through the Meantime," (which I started to read, but I was not sure if I was ready, after reading a couple of pages through)"One Day My Soul Just Opened Up (which I am debating with "Living Through the Meantime"), and "Yesterday I Cried." So I have about seven of her books. I am going to purchase more right now. I hope you all remain strong, and I hope the books will help you all a lot. (sorry for all the typos its 3:12am in the morning in NYC and I could not help it, but to get back online and purchase some more books, plus I cannot fall asleep).
