5.0 out of 5 stars This book is inspiring, compelling, original and comforting., August 27, 1999

This review is from: Walk Tall (Paperback)

This book has become a mainstay. I read it before I begin my meditation and when I need to lift my spirit and/or connect with my spirit. I have given it to numerous friends. It is the first inspirational book I have seen for people of color, and the quotes are original and compelling. Ms. Brice has tremendous insight into the human spirit and is an extremely sensitive, kind and ambitious young woman. I look forward to reading more by this talented author.

This is probably the best daily meditation book that I have found. I regularly use it in the treatment groups I lead. The daily meditations are thoughtful and can lead to great discussion. I really appreciate that these meditations embrace and celebrate a wide range of cultural backgrounds.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful multi-cultural gift!, July 6, 2004

I've had this book for a few years and love the format. You can use it as a daily "words of wisdom" guide by date or look up specific "subjects" using the index. I appreciate that I can give the book as a gift to Christian, Atheist, Buddhist, Islamic, Wiccan, or any religious tradition and the universal subjects still apply! I feel that this book along with Iyanla Vanzant's "FAITH IN THE VALLEY" (which is targeted more toward females) are books everyone should own and GIVE. SOMETIMES YOU JUST NEED TO FEED YOURSELF WITH SOMETHING UPLIFTING!
