Great

A collection of essays about such thing as self-esteem, family, and faith. The essays are from everyday people as well as famous people. The essays were really helpful.

WOW!

I really enjoyed these marvelous and uplifting stories. A lot of them had definite messages to be used in your everyday life. Queen Latifah's contributions were extremely powerful. This would be a great book just to keep around and open to any story to meditate upon.

Wonderful and Heartwarming...

The stories in this book warm your hearts. You see popular figures in a new light when you read their inspirational stories. I'm glad we've got a book that's ours. Soul Food is ours anyway. Looking forward to the continuation of the series.

SOUL FOOD FEEDS THE SOUL

Once again Eric Copage has done it again. His new inspirational collection feeds the souls of black people everywhere. There are wonderful, powerful stories that soothes, and feeds your spirits. This collection is broken down into 7 elements: Love, Self-Esteem, Family, Creativity, Tenacity, Wisdom, and Faith. These stories are heartwarming and include such writers as Nikki Giovanni, Barry White, Queen Latifah, Les Brown and new writers on the scene as well. My favorite poem is called Dark Skinded Girl by Akiba Jama. I love reading the stories in this colleciton. This is a black soup and it feeds your soul. You can read a couple of stories, or all of the stories, but know that you will be inspired and enriched by the experiences of the writers, cause it's your experience. The beautiful, black experience! Feed yo' soul.
