Don't Give It Away by Iyanla Vanzant
A Workbook of Self-Awareness and Self-Affirmations for Young Women. |
| The book is focused on young women, however, more mature ones will also find it beneficial. The title is excellent, because the book is concerned about self and what one should keep. It is written in a workbook format that can be read in a short period of time. However, the thought provoking questions and exercises, take some time and allows one to view her life as is and how she would like it to be. The self-affirmations are excellent, because many people do not know what or how to say them. The survival kits provide good practical ideas of what a person should do if she is going through a bad time or has negative feelings. The inserted graphics, developed for the young person, with or without text are colorful and interesting . Vanzant also makes several interesting points about the role the Creator should play in a young woman’s life. I feel that the book is valuable for any woman. I read it and then passed on to my God Child who is fifteen Order below from Amazon.com | |

Desiring Paradise...a true story of succumbing to the dream by Karin W. Schlesinger This book focused on the personal account of Karen Schlesinger and her husband as they venture to move from the continental United States to the tiny island of St. John United States Virgin Islands. It is interesting to read little tidbits on the St. John Trivia pages that proceeds the chapters and about how some people survive/live on the island. Even though their plans were to live in Paradise moving was not easy. But desire, perseverance and creativity paid off. It is easy reading and reads like real life drama. I would recommend it for anyone who is thinking of moving to St. John or any island. The joys and problems stated are some of the same problems found on other islands especially in the Virgin Islands. Order below from Amazon.com |
