This book is awesome. It confirms most of what we already know about life but it's a relief to hear those thoughts put more clearly.

Life is indeed what we make it...

One book that deserves more than one reading. This was at least the third time for me. Faith and common sense ideas that renew your spirit.
The book can be read in sections as your reflection and/or healing needs arise.

As one reviewer wrote “soul food”

I go to this book often for inspiration. I read it years ago. It is a great book to own for the soul food we all need.

I purchased this book in my early twenties when it was first published, and I loved it. I gained so much wisdom from reading this book. It definitely is inspirational and oh boy it had so many life lessons that I need for a woman in her twenties, who was struggling with many things at that time. To this day I re-read this book often. Truthfully, this is the best book I've ever read, other than the bible.

I definitely recommend it to ALL.

I enjoyed this book! It reminded me of things I already knew and gave me a new perspective in other areas. I especially enjoyed that it was broken down into small sections--I read one each night before bed. I'll definitely be reading it again and recommending it to friends and family.

This book has reaffirmed the importance of staying in faith, the power of God and why I am so proud to be a woman of color!!!

A very moving, realism, powerful book that can touch your heart! And for me, the second most holiest book you'll ever like reading, after the Holy Bible!
