5.0 out of 5 stars Inspirational, July 13, 2001

By	Y. Kenton (St. Louis, Missouri United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book has inspired me. I have found several meditations that apply whole heartedly to my life. I have retyped and copied several of the quotes and taped them to my refrigerator or put them on my bulletin board at work. This is a book I needed years ago.

This book has given me insight and inspiration on several different topics. Since I bought it a few years ago, I have yet to put it down. I'm always reading this. I have become more pleasant in certain circumstance because of something I've read here.

For anybody facing lifes highs and lows or debating whether or not to start meditating this book is one you should have. It's so nice to have a book that focuses on the daily ins and outs of being a person of color.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellant, November 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Acts of Faith: Daily Meditations for People of Color (Hardcover)

I am not a lady of color and I love this book. This book is for everyone. I keep my copy at work and start my day with it. One of the best things is you can keep reading it forever, or go to a section that will uplift you when you need it. I really enjoy my copy and thank her for writing it. I am glad the title didn't stop me from buying it.

5.0 out of 5 stars ACTS OF FAITH, March 8, 2001

By	Mary Allen "Mary B Allen" (HARRISBURG, PA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book, ACTS OF FAITH, is a year-long daily meditation guide. Each day is led off by a quote or bible verse. The soothing style of the writings makes the reader feel good. They lessen confusion and ease troubled minds. It's very spiritual.
