Book Review: Destined by Patricia Haley

2010-07-01T14:16:00.000-04:00

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GncKtNgHDdcendofvid [starttext] Destined by Patricia Haley
Paperback, $14.00,
ISBN- 978-1-4165-8603-8
GBR Rating: 5 Stars

Destined by Patricia Haley is a story of love, rejection, forgiveness and faith. Offering the perfect blend of faith and romance, this is the second novel in the Chosen series, inspired by the popular biblical kings David and Solomon.

Destined picks up where Chosen left off and follows the life and struggle of Don Mitchell. Don the rightful heir of a multi-million dollar ministry who was overlooked by his father who left the business to his younger brother, Joel. Needless to say, Joel is running the ministry into the ground. Like many of use who experience terrible rejection, Don flees the hurt and exiles himself to his home in South Africa. Don is faced with a decision to either stay away, or to intervene and save the ministry. Will he allow his hurt feelings to get in the way, or will he realize that his destiny is inescapable and this future lies in his family’s legacy?

One of the most poignant lines in the book was “God’s word didn’t change because of circumstances. Circumstances changed because of God’s word.” Destined is a book that displays the power of God at His best. I was encouraged to turn over my own current situations to God and let Him show up and show out!

Book Review: Transformations-Give Up the Struggle by Renee Wiggins

2010-06-16T10:57:00.000-04:00

Transformations: Give up the Struggle by Renee Wiggins
Paperback, $12.99, ISBN- 978-0-982-5613-0-0
GBR Rating- 4 (out o f5)

Transformations-Give Up the Struggle is a book of affirmations for anyone that has ever gone through something. Since that is everyone’s story, then all can truly identify with needing this book.

When I first picked up the book Transformations I was captured by the beauty of the cover. There was a sense of serenity that filled my spirit immediately and I quickly opened the book. Where I went on a journey of facing myself and all of the negative thoughts that have plagued me throughout my life.

Some affirmations that I have literally posted by computer is “Only your mind can set limits,“ and “Who I was yesterday, I am not today,” and “If I had not experienced pain, my passion would not have flourished.” Most of the affirmations are followed up by a written piece of wisdom from Wiggins that will help you move from a place of pain to glory.

I would have liked for the author to shed some light her own struggles in life and how she came to be free through these different affirmations, but this book is definitely one that all should have on their book shelf. Better yet, carry it around in your purse like I do so that you can refer to it whenever you need a "pick me up." Visit Ms. Wiggins online at: www.resultsbyrenee.com

I felt that this book was worth mentioning on the How to Love A Saved Man Blog because we as women often have a great deal of struggles that are brought into our relationships. We have to do as Renee Wiggins suggested and "Give Up the Struggle." Once we give up the struggle with insecurity, past hurts and rejection our relationship will flourish[endtext]

Fireproof Your Marriage-Overcoming Pornography

2010-06-03T13:51:00.000-04:00

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raqnn78drqMendofvid [starttext] Fireproof your marriage. This video explores addictions such as pornography that destroy marriages. If you haven't seen the movie, I encourage you to do so. This explore pornography from a male standpoint and how it effects women, however, pornography addiction is an issue that women suffer with in silence.

I am speaking of this from experience. I entered into this world during a previous relationship where I felt undesirable and in order to "remain faithful" to my husband at the time, I turned to pornography. It isn't a secret that I have been married two times, and I thank that Lord that he has blessed me with a man that loves me for me, that goes out of his way to make me feel beautiful. But there was a point in our marriage when I didn't desire intimacy.

It would be very easy for me to place blame elsewhere. I remember praying and asking God to help me desire sex with my husband, and then He let me know that it was because of this addiction...this secret I'd been harboring that was hindering my love life.

It wasn't that I didn't desire my husband, or that I wanted to be with the people on the screen. It wasn't that I replayed the images in my mind during our intimate times. The issue was that Pornography is wrong. Seeing the images made me numb to the beauty and sanctity of the marriage bed.

After a great deal of fear and anxiety, I decided to open to my husband about this. He was so loving and kind. He didn't make me feel ashamed about myself. I made a vow to him to discontinue this part of my life, and he vowed to hold me up in his prayers.

Bouncing back wasn't easy, it took work, but our love life shifted IMMEDIATELY! Ladies if you truly want to love your SAVED husband, and you find yourself battling with this addiction, understand that you are not by yourself, and that God can truly help you overcome this, if you want it.

Here are some great articles about this issue:

(#1) Why Black Successful Black Women Can't Find a Man-My Standards Aren't Too High

2010-05-06T19:30:00.000-04:00

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYLeeHgjOCYendofvid [starttext] Nightline recently aired a special called "Why Can't Successful Black Women Can't Find A Man?" The panel was filled with celebrities such as Steve Harvey, Hill Harper, Sherri Shepherd, and Jacque Reid. The video below is the first part of the series Jimi Izrael, author of "The Denzel Principle" gave his reason for why successful black women can't find a man as being that women are wanting something that they are not. "You're looking for a man that is perfect and you're not perfect."

Sherri Shepherd countered by saying that her standards aren't too high, that she is looking for someone that believes in God, someone that can "help take my cornrows out."

Take a look...what do you think? [endtext]

Why Black Successful Black Women Can't Find a Man (Video #2)-Black Folks Aren't Communicating

2010-05-06T19:24:00.000-04:00

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3kd_jwaDG0endofvid [starttext] In Part 2 of Nightline's "Why Successful Black Women can't Find a Man," Hill Harper argues that misinformation is destroying the black families. In Harper's book, he found that there is a great deal of misinformation...that women are sharing this among each other. He also said that men do the same thing using the example that men don't usually talk about being happy in marriage, but he found in polling men that most married men ARE INDEED HAPPY!

Looking at just the example Harper is speaking of...women do the same thing. We talk about the negatives of marriage before we get to the positive. This is why it is important for us to make sure that we are linking ourselves with Godly men. Men who have to answer to God for how we are treated and then we can talk about the great things marriage can bring.

I've been married going on four years, and my husband and I came together with a blended family. I will not lie, marriage is not easy. Relationships take work, but there is nothing sweeter then being able to look at my best friend before I go to sleep, and to see him the moment I wake up. [endtext]

Men are like Waffles, Women are Like Spaghetti?

2010-05-06T12:22:00.000-04:00

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1-cyNkNoRkendofvid [starttext] nternational best-selling authors and speakers, Bill & Pam Farrel give their famous explanation of why "Men Are Like Waffles, and Women Are Like Spaghetti". This humorous look at marriage is from LifeWay Publisher's 7-Week DVD Study.

When I first saw the title of the video I thought to myself "this is interesting," and I must admit that I decided to watch it just for kicks. After viewing it, I realized that "yes" men are like waffles and we are indeed like the famous italian cuisine known as spaghetti. At least, this is the way it is in my household. My husband tends to be very focused and works systematically, and God bless him, he has learned how to deal with the way I think which is 1000 miles a minute![endtext]
