I first owned and read this book a few years back, then I bought another copy when 2005 read it again, I picked it up again in August 2009 and read it again and I now got the full benefit of this book, every chapter in this book related to my life experience to a T, I will truly recommend this book to everyone woman, whether in a good or bad relationship or no relationship to read and really put to the test, believe me you will not regret it.
I am learning everyday how to attack any negative energy surrounding me and follow the gift of intution. Each chapter alerted all of my emotions and thoughts. Learning to love yourself in the midst of everything. This is a Phenomenal book. It's a great book for all women of color to read.
It helps one to understand life better, and to love ones self better. This book is great not only for black women, but for all women.
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. (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. I actually got "Tapping the Power Within." last month from my counselor, thats when I realized I still had two of her other books. The book was called "Don't Give it Away." Which I am now in my THIRD YEAR OF COLLEGE.
I am going to purchase more right now. Actually, I had just did the same thing. 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. I hope you all remain strong, and I hope the books will help you all 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. See, thats the thing about most self help books like these, you must be READY to read them.
I am about to buy more of her books).Its quite hard choosing which books to read. (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). My aunt also bought me one of her books when I was of the age 14, because I was going through a tough time. YAYY ME, and I passed the book down to my sister.
I like her approach in the way she writes and conveys her message. Thank you Iyanla for all the insights your book has given me. 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. I have just purchased the Audio CD version of it to listen while I drive or at home. I am a big fan of motivational and self-help books.
Can't wait to get it and the rest of the motivational goodies I just got from other 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. :) Thumbs up to this book as well as Iyanla's other books. :) It's real. 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.
I have read many in my lifetime. 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. 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. Mostly good, some so-so. I can relate to her. But hey, she's good.
Iyanla's books are one of them and one of my favourite authors. Yeh - crazy me.
