Angela’s Books

New Book!

Write the Vision, Sister and Mister

Write the Vision, Sister and Mister draws on the impact of Angela Abdur-Rasheed’s years of vision board training for individuals, organizations, and corporations, and decades of proven goal setting and personal development facilitation helping birth the vision for others.

The Adventures of Abigail Jones: The Family Reunion is a fabulous and funny story filled with faith nuggets and unforgettable characters.
Lady A had it all. She was a doting wife, mother and daughter and a popular ministry leader. Imagine her surprise when she was greeted with the heartbreaking words, “I care for you, Andrea, but I’m not in love with you.
Have you ever felt like life was out of control or playing a big, bad prank on you and none of it was funny? Author Angela Abdur-Rasheed has, for sure and spills all the tea in Life Gets Better (and I want my beauty).

Oooohhh, Girl! You’re Something Special is a sweet short story and is perfect for teens, tweens, adults and everyone in between. It’s funny, modern, moving, relatable and ideal for the individual in need of a quick reminder that they are special.

“Your life is a story worth sharing.”
― Angela Abdur-Rasheed
