The Value in The Valley

By: Iyanla Vanzant

Length: 2 hrs and 19 mins

Publisher's Summary

Is it the job you hate but need in order to pay the rent? Is it that relationship that you gave your all to only to end up with a broken heart...again? Perhaps it's your children, a family member, or a life-long friend doing you in, dragging you down, pushing you to the brink. If you are an honorary member of the Black Woman's Suffering Society, you have probably been told that it's all your fault. Or that struggling and suffering is your lot in life. Iyanla Vanzant says, "No!" Life is an act of faith and suffering is optional! Those everyday challenges, obstacles, and dilemmas are what Iyanla calls "valleys". As bad as they may seem, there is a purpose or, as Iyanla says, "There is so much value in the valley".

If you've ever been disappointed, betrayed, rejected, abandoned, or just plain old scared to let go, then you've been or may still be in a valley. Iyanla knows; she's been there, and on a bad day, she's still there, but now she shares the way out with you.

Good book but way too short.

This is a great book. It gives great insight but leaves you wanting more. it doesn't get deeply into the story enough and it finishes too quickly, it feels rushed as if she didn't have time to finish it.

In your face truth that cannot be denied!!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes..Iyanla speaks truths that many black women are afraid to face.

What did you like best about this story?

Iyanla tells it like it is...no holds barred!!

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

By the end of the book I understood that the universe does not create valleys to harm you. Valleys assist you in becoming your "best self"

Any additional comments?

Powerful read!!

I am a Caucasian woman and GAINED SO MUCH! XXOO

Even though I am not a black woman I have been a fan of Ms. Vanzant for many years. This book shall be my GO TO for direction, sanity and comfort for years to come. I respect Iyanla deeply for her depth of wisdom and skill in sharing it with all of US in a way that hits the heart!

absolute must have in your audiobook Library

what I like about this book is every black woman can relate to it. We have all been in the valley out some point in our lives. The author is poignant in each topic and how we can identify where we are in our life. This book is a must-have in the black woman's Library.

this was just what I needed to get things going

I'm so pleased that I got this book. it put things in perspective. the struggles that black women have can be a little different from those of other women. it's much harder for us to find inspirational and social tools due to the diversity of our issues.

Good for the Soul.

Great book. It gave me perspective and context for life's situation. Loved it.and will listen to it again.

Excellent but short

i love all of Iyanla's books, i just wish this was not an abridged version. Not sure why that's the case if the book is full version.

love her! very inspiring and helped me reevaluate

love her! very inspiring and helped me reevaluate the troubles i am experiencing in my life. Iyanla is a great speaker and her guidance has helped me in all her teachings and her tv show as well.

This is extremely enlightening!!!!!

This is extremely enlightening and I always be a fan of her work, I plan on sharing this with other women.

Positive

This book will pick you up when you are feeling your lowest and take you to new heights.

Super inspirational and substance for your soul

I have the hard copy of this title so I was a little disappointed some of the content had been removed from the audio, especially the meditations. However the key principles are there! This should be a mandatory read for every black female and it's definately worth purchasing.

easy to listen to. This is my goto book when I need spiritual guidance and inspiration.

Excellent Read
