This book is another example of the heart in Maya Angelou. Another "beautiful" set of her work. I highly recommend this book of prayers to all Maya Angelou's fans. A Must have for your collection...

I purchased this CD after having been honored to see her in person this past spring. I knew that I wanted something with her voice on it, unabridged, reading from her own collection. When I saw that there was a choice that spoke of her spiritual world, I was eager and excited! This CD goes into the magical place where she creates, heals and releases her powerful talents and blessings. Get this CD for your kids, your friends, your neighbors... they will be healed, enlightened and empowered.

A Pillar in life for our times...gracious, lovely and witty..
She always makes you think and see a little clearer.

I am a huge Maya fan but I felt that this was not her best stuff. I liked the poetry but it didn't compare to "Still I Rise" or "Phenomenal Woman". Again, I liked it because Maya doesn't write bad poetry but I wasn't as in love with this collection as I am with her other work.

Best book I've read in years. This book gave me a better understanding of Islam and how backward it's follwers are. Just as I beleived I found that the Muslims are still living in a past century and, are a this point unwilling an unable to progress to this century.
Their faith in Muhmmad's teaching's about how to treat women brought tear's to my eyes. Ayann story of her life has put her life in grave danger for speaking out, but her struggle for human right's for Muslin women is nothing short of heroic.

Read Hilton Als' "New Yorker" profile of Angelou for a true glimpse.
