Get a Hold of Yourself by Xolani Kacela is an exploration into the development of one's personal faith as a strong foundation for personal actualization and for interacting with others. Get a Hold of Yourself is an inspirational and thought-provoking book that explores faith with a unique perspective. --Literary Titan - 4 Star Review Kacela's writing is slightly formal, which doesn't obscure his authenticity, warmth, and humor, but rather gives his book gravitas. He has mapped out a unique space here, a place between traditional religion and New Age spirituality. His own experience with congregational worship and spiritual aid bestows him credibility, and he illuminates this spiritual trail with sacred texts of all religions and writings of a wide variety of spiritual mentors, including the renowned civil rights activist and mystic Howard Thurman. The book includes a 13-page bibliography of resource material at its end. --Blue Ink Review - Gold Star Review
