The Value in The Valley

A Black Woman's Guide Through Life's Dilemmas

By: Iyanla Vanzant

Narrated by: Iyanla Vanzant

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.

Thank You!

No matter where I am in my life when discord strikes I return to this guide to get out of the valley. I thank the Father for Iyanla. She has been my angel for a very long time... (Smile)

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.

Excellent from beginning to end!

This book is a joy, a treasure filled with wisdom and tools to get us through life's challenges with grace and compassion. Although it's written and read to black women, so much of Iyanla's insight is universal. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for inner peace and happiness.

Her voice…

This book was published 25 years ago. I’ve had it in hardcover for a while. I purchased it on audio over a year ago. Every time I turn it on, I feel healing. ❤️‍🩹

There’s nothing like not knowing how much pain I’m in and then being able to release that pain in a way that now takes me up instead of out. Thank you Iyanla for helping me appreciate my valleys…

Direction

This book has given me insight and direction. I will be listening to it over and over to help me.

I loved the book the message is the God's honest truth. They could not have use a better narrator than the author herself.

Needed this!

Thank you Dr Vanzant for this very necessary book. It has helped me tremendously! I now how a deeper understanding of self. I was reminded to know thyself, accept thyself, and love thyself.

Value in the valley

This abridged version is very valuable to me. I recommend to all black woman who want to reach their full potential. We are always stuck in a rut not knowing how the patriarchal world we were brought up in impacts the rest of our lives. This books gives you the tool to claim the life you are meant to live. I recommend it highly. Its a book to read and refer to always.
