Wise advice imparted from a street savvy black woman, I May Not Know What I'm Talking About But I'm Gonna Say It Anyway delves into man/woman issues where from time to time a suggestion or two is thrown in along the way. According to African-American Lifestyle Magazine (www.AA-LIFESTYLE.com), "While Tara concedes that she isn't an expert in many areas, she can comfortably say that God doesn't bless mess. Often sassy and sometimes crass, she invites readers to recognize themselves or their behaviors. No one escapes her scathing observations as she generously heaps blame and shame on enabling parents, disrespectful children, nonexistent morals and marriages which have no ground rules." Blue Ink Review (www.blueinkreview) comments that "The author relays fundamental Christian principles, using biblical passages relating to marriage and relationships, but they're analyzed in a real-world manner, using colorful and somewhat salty language. It's like hearing your favorite aunt tell it like it is. "Don't get too comfortable with the idea that what's between your legs is always going (to) save the day," Ratney writes...Ratney advises women that sexual, emotional and financial security are "at the bottom of our motives" in choosing a mate and that there must be consequences for bad behavior in life."' Overall, the book is a must read for anyone seeking to improve decisions and relationships. Also available on amazon.com (kindle preferable for most updated version), with an introduction of the book itself being available on my website: http: //tratney.com, along with other youtube links discussing various other topics from the text Through God everything is possible

A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.

"You'll not only break the ice, you'll melt it away with your new skills." -- Larry King "The lost art of verbal communication may be revitalized by Leil Lowndes." -- Harvey McKay, author of “How to Swim with the Sharks Without Being Eaten Alive” What is that magic quality makes some people instantly loved and respected? Everyone wants to be their friend (or, if single, their lover!) In business, they rise swiftly to the top of the corporate ladder. What is their "Midas touch?" What it boils down to is a more skillful way of dealing with people. The author has spent her career teaching people how to communicate for success. In her book How to Talk to Anyone (Contemporary Books, October 2003) Lowndes offers 92 easy and effective sure-fire success techniques-- she takes the reader from first meeting all the way up to sophisticated techniques used by the big winners in life. In this information-packed book you’ll find: 9 ways to make a dynamite first impression 14 ways to master small talk, "big talk," and body language 14 ways to walk and talk like a VIP or celebrity 6 ways to sound like an insider in any crowd 7 ways to establish deep subliminal rapport with anyone 9 ways to feed someone's ego (and know when NOT to!) 11 ways to make your phone a powerful communications tool 15 ways to work a party like a politician works a room 7 ways to talk with tigers and not get eaten alive In her trademark entertaining and straight-shooting style, Leil gives the techniques catchy names so you'll remember them when you really need them, including: "Rubberneck the Room," "Be a Copyclass," "Come Hither Hands," “Bare Their Hot Button,” “The Great Scorecard in the Sky," and "Play the Tombstone Game,” for big success in your social life, romance, and business. How to Talk to Anyone, which is an update of her popular book, Talking the Winner's Way (see the 5-star reviews of the latter) is based on solid research about techniques that work! By the way, don't confuse How to Talk to Anyone with one of Leil's previous books, How to Talk to Anybody About Anything. This one is completely different!
