Description

What is the lesson in abuse, neglect, abandonment, rejection? What is the lesson when you lose someone you really love? Just what are the lessons of life's hard times? Bestselling author Iyanla Vanzant has had an amazing and difficult life -- one of great challenges that unmasked her wonderful gifts and led to wisdom gained. In this simple audiobook, she uses her own personal experiences to show how life's hardships can be re-languaged and re-visioned to become lessons that teach us as we grow, heal, and learn to love. The pain of the past does not have to be today's reality. Iyanla Vanzant is an example of how yesterday's tears become the seeds of today's hope, renewal, and strength.

Vanzant writes for black women, but her lessons apply to all to all women. In this book she unflinchingly tells her own story, from all-but-abandoned child to single mother to lawyer to successful writer and spiritual advisor. Reading about her struggle to learn to love herself I encountered many

familiar feelings, and some unfamiliar because they'd been squashed down so deep. Vanzant's voice is formidable. I recommend this book for any woman who's getting less than she wants out of life and can't quite figure out why.

I was very disappointed in this book. I found her referring to herself as another person VERY distracting. It was confusing, and quite frankly, not particularly inspiring.

The writer portrays a violent biography and a search for God. She mixes scripture with other mystic writings and states that there are many paths that lead to one road and that God didn't care if she was a Christian or not. If that were true then Christ did not need to die to make access to God

possible. Christ is the only mediator between God and man and no one comes to God except by Him....and only Him.
