The Spirit of a Man: A Vision of Transformation for Black Men and the Women Who Love Them

Iyanla Vanzant

Long known as the country's leading authority on spirituality and empowerment for Black women, Iyanla Vanzant now offers a message of faith, self-knowledge and courage for Black men in the struggles, crises and victories we face in today's society. Teaching Black men to recognize and tap the energy of our own spirits, Vanzant uses a brillant and transforming blend of ancient African spirituality, practical self-help advice and contemporary faith to help Black men -- and the women who love them -- nurture the strength and power that are our birthright.

"Ms. Vanzant is the first to offer a concrete path and process to spiritual, political and economic power in a tradition that is familiar to us. Thank you my sister, daughter, friend."

"Sister Iyanla has given us a first: a Sister's visionary prescription for the transformation of her Brothers. This prescription addresses the unique and special healing of Black men, but it speaks to the health of all men."
