I first saw Iyanla Vanzant on Oprah (another truly inspiring woman) the more I watched this exceptional women the more I was astounded by her life and work. I looked up her books on the internet and read the excepts from each. These excepts were not lenghty but in that time I found a need in myself to discover more. The short excepts made real sense to me. So I went and purchased the book 'Faith in the Valley'. It made me wake up at night and listen to my thoughts that were deep in my stomach and not only to listen but to take notice of them, good and bad. To listen to faith that for so many years I had simply let into the fringes of my life and never into the core. Iyanla Vanzant is thought provoking, inspirational and gifted. I have all her books now. She is a writer and teacher that would inspire Mother Teresa.
Once again, Mrs. Vanzant has outdone herself. Faith in the Valley is exactly what the title implies. Iyanla seeks to help the reader shed light on life's dull situations. Iyanla writes that its okay to feel what you feel when you feel it. Don't hide your emotions; seek God; He will lead you to the truth of the situation. Know that everything no matter what happens is for the best, and move on. We have all been through, or are going through situations that may seem as if it is the end of the world. Mrs. Vanzant reminds you that if you are still breathing, functioning and waking up the next day every morning that everything is fine. In fact, everything was always all fine. Things may not always go your way, they will go God's way and God's way is always the best way. In Faith in the Valley Mrs. Vanzant puts in words what our intuition has been telling us all along, that same intuition that most of have been ignoring all along. If you are or have ever felt anger, fear, hate, resentment, confusion or any emotion that has kept you in a state besides that of peace and love, Mrs. Vanzant wants to take you on a journey toward peace. Mrs. Vanzant's message is powerful; it possesses the power of love. Mrs. Vanzant's message is liberating she urges you to seek truth. If you have ever doubted yourself, your existence, your purpose, Faith in the Valley holds a wonderful, powerful and liberating message for you.
I can not express how insightful and helpful this book is! It really makes you look deep into the reason(s) why you thought you needed a book of affirmations in the first place. This book is perfect for those "why me" and "I really can't take any more" moments when you feel like life, and everything in it, needs to give you a break. If you're a woman experiencing a lot of change in your life and it seems like you just can't handle another crisis (or is it a crisis afterall?), this is the book for you. I carry it in my purse!
My little paperback version of Iyanla Vanzant's Faith in the Valley has been used so much that it is now thoroughly dog-earred and marked up. This book has been a life saver on many rough days and the paperback version is small enough to comfortably carry around in your pocket. I have read this book straight through, as well as referred directly to the index that alphabetically lists situations and offers instant spiritual uplift. Faith in the Valley is a must have for everyone's personal library. It has certainly been my spiritual first aid kit.
This is the most inspiring, soul-revealing, soothing, book I have ever read. I carry it with me and read special passages as peaceful reminders to my spirit. Iyanla's words are constant gifts, a quiet voice that shouts at your heart, "I am the best me I can be today!"
This book is targeted towards African-American women, but I don't believe that African-American are the only women who experience "life in the valley." This book offers healing, inspiration and guidance to all who read it
This is my FAVORITE book by Iyanla Vanzant because of: It's size(small enough for your tiny purse), its lack of preach-i-ness and how the index is organized by subject. I feel its a synopsis of all the subjects covered in her other books. I also feel the book is applicable to women of ALL cultures. You can use it as a daily guide or you can use the index to find a subject for which you could use guidance.
Faith in the Valley is a wonderful book to keep by your bedside. It's perfect in that it has an index to locate how your feeling or lessons you want to learn. Topics include; Mistakes, Love,Acceptance, Temptation, Commitment,Courage, Denial and Fear. Definately something for everyone. I have given this book to all of my friends.
