Inspiring Reads - Acts of Faith
Iyanla Vanzant’s Acts of Faith, originally published in 1993, is a yearlong daily meditation guide and resource. Each day of the year has a unique inspirational quote, affirmation, and a short essay to assist in reflection and wisdom. These messages are pulled from a variety of spiritual practices and teachings to assist people across faiths and disciplines. In 2018, the 25th-year anniversary edition was released. This is a book I love holding because it's small but hefty, light, and easy to travel with.
Through the ebbs and flows of the year, there is a moment each day to spend time with this book and meditate on the quarterly theme and daily thought inspiration. This book encourages introspection and action, hence the title.
I enjoy exploring my family members' libraries and discovering new and old gems that expand my knowledge regularly. We often end up with duplicate books, signed copies, and well-maintained books that have been useful to us and can be passed on. You can get your copy of Acts of Faith and explore books ready to be passed on from my family library in the Secondhand section of the Penultimate Bookstore.
