Publisher's summary

Acts Of Faith is a thoughtful and inspirational work that explores, with great insight and sensitivity, the unique pressures on people of color today. This program confronts the four basic areas that create stress and imbalance for people of color: relationships with ourselves, with the world, with each other, and with money. No matter who you are or where you are in any of these areas, Iyanla Vanzant tells you that you can make changes, realize improvement, and eliminate stress in all of your relationships.

I absolutely love this book.

I absolutely love this book. I had it in the hard copy form, but lost it. I tried to rebuy it, however it cost in the 100 dollar range. i found it here on audible and could not be happier. This book helps create a way of life for black people.

Always enjoy Iyanla work!

Great book with great information to digest, consider, and put into action. It's a must read not once but through out the year to place the information in your daily life. Great gift to pass to younger generations.
