Meditations For People of Color

customer reviews

Acts Of Faith is a thoughtful and inspirational work that explores the unique pressures on people of color today with great insight and sensitivity.

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.
