Kathy stated that her father always advised her to under promise and over deliver. That is exactly what Kathy does in her book, Powerful Inspiration. It's broken down into eight simple lesson. While the lessons themselves are nothing new, a gentle reminder from someone as beautiful as Kathy, makes them more interesting. The book is a quick read, and the message will defintely go over well with individuals of the Christian faith. Kathy adds credibility to the book, by providing personal examples from her own life as a supermodel, mother and entrepeneur.

This beautiful young woman shares stories from her life (as I do occasionally); also writes about her failures and the lessons she learned while triumphing over them. She's the new Martha Stewart -- a former model who started her successful business with her own line of socks (my favorites). She added apparel, home furnishings, flooring and accessories designed for the busy women with families who depend on them. "She doesn't just talk the talk, she walks the walk."

Her brand garned the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval for consumer excellence. In order to accomplish things we desire, we need the love and support of others.

She lists eight lessons to get the reader started on the road to happiness and fulfillment. Powerful Inspirations: When God is with us, who can be against us? Powerful You: Failure is an education in itself; even with self-esteem, you will get hurt from time to time. Powerful families: With family, you are never alone. Powerful Answers: When you ask powerful questions, you may get powerful answers; be ready to act on them.

Powerful Changes: It's great to have goals, but don't forget to enjoy the journey. Powerful Financial Wisdom: Money won't solve all of your problems, but it helps along the way. Powerful Beliefs and Boundaries: Wise people constantly discover what they beleive and act on these beliefs. Powerful Joys and Sorrows: Without sorrow, true joy cannot be understood.

This is a powerful book to help realize your potential without all the stresses of life we all endure. She is a good teacher with her examples and experiences.

Kathy Ireland gives practical suggestions for many areas of life. She also tells how her religion has inspired her. Even though I am of a different religtion, I found this book interesting and uplifting. Only some atheists would go into a frazzle over it.

Kathy Ireland has taken a launch from a beautiful face to a busy wife and mom and a savvy business woman. She gives us wisdom from learned exeriences in a truthful and spiritual delivery. While she has gained stardom through her work and career, she has stayed grounded, real and true to her faith. While many celebrities are hung up on their money, popularity and success, KI continues to share her love, generosity and faith with the world. I am proud to see a young American woman with the poise, dignity and wisdom that Kathy Ireland posseses. Read her book. You will see how hard she has worked to make this world a better place.

The key word here is powerful. Not only has Kathy Ireland extracted time-tested truths and applied them to modern times, she impresses upon us that the quality of our communication equals the quality of our results. And she has been fearless in doing so.

This book is so inspiring. It is an easy to read reminder of everyday lessons we all need to know. I read Kathy's book in a few hours and I find myself thinking about her words of wisdom daily. What a beautiful book, person, and message. I highly reccomend this book to everyone.

The first time I read this book, I really didn't like it. It didn't "change my life" and I didn't find it that interesting. But recently I decided to read it again, and my opinion has completely changed. Kathy is very wise, and it shows here. This book features eight lessons that really can "change your life" if you let them! It uses stories from Kathy's life while teaching you and giving you all of her wisdom. If you are a Kathy Ireland fan, you really have to own this book. Even if you aren't a fan of hers, you will still love this book. I have been a Kathy fan for a long time, and when I heard this book was coming out I was very exited. When I got the book in the mail I read it, and like I said, I didn't really like it, but now that I have read it a second time I think it is great. Kathy is truly beautiful both internally and externally. I think everyone should buy a copy of this book, because I am sure you can read it more than once. If you use the eight lessons in this book in your everyday life, it can help you a lot...5 stars (* * * * *)

I thought this was such a helpful book. I really appreciate Kathy sharing lessons that she's learned in her life. She seems to have really tuned in to her own female intuition at times where she was unsure where she was headed and it really saved her and kept her grounded. I really admire that. She is very strong and I think everyone should read this book. You will surely at least learn something from it.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this book, but someone recommended it to me, and I bought it for less than $1. To be honest, I was wondering what a short, relatively plain woman would have to learn from a successful model/businesswoman. Still, I respected her for being a Christian in an industry where Christians aren't exactly plentiful. Worth a shot, right?

It's well-written, probably a combination of Ireland and her co-author. As she tells her story, I find myself identifying with her. Me, a 37 yo SAHM, identifying with a woman of Ireland's ilk. She makes you realize that, no matter who we are or God's place for us in this lifetime, we are all God's children and equal in His sight. These chapters are good lessons for reminding us some essential truths about Christianity, reminding me of some of the basics--faith, selflessness, family, and that God is always faithful, always there for us.

This book is a very good read, a good tool for nurturing/reinvigorating/starting your faith.

I had such high hopes for deep and meaningful messages to be revealed within the pages of this text. I have no idea why - the Title must have spoken to me on some other level...
In the end, this book was just a long, drawn out, Thank You note to all the people who have helped to build the Kathy Ireland Empire.
Although its very nice of her to "write this note" its not something any of us who are not mentioned in the book, need to read. Save your money and move on to something truly inspirational.

Thankfully, my copy only cost me 99 cents - maybe that should have been a clue!!!!
