Good advice, however..........2007-06-09
I believe the advice that Joyce Meyer gives in order to be a confident, bold and fearless woman in today's world is great.. However, Meyer uses a lot of quotes and references to the bible and so if you are not a very religious person, you might want to pick up another book on the subject.
Joyce speaks to you.........2007-05-09
Reading Joyce Meyer's books are so 'nutritional' for the soul. No matter where you are in life, when you sit down to read her words, you can feel the truth. She is very inspirational and powerful. After reading this one, I purchased another one of her books entitled; In Pursuit of Peace.
Not only is this one of the best books I've read, but it's one of those books that you want to reread, highlight and purchase for someone else.
Personally, I think Joyce is writing directly to me! Enjoy ~
Helpful and practical........2007-04-07
This book helped me regain self-confidence after I had been socially isolated because of a serious illness. With Great Mercy Joyce's approach is fresh, and she sites her own shortcomings as she writes. Regardless of what we've endured, we can be confident that God will bring us through it. Solid message from Joyce
Excellent book -- great for women of all ages.......2007-03-15
This is my second book by Joyce Meyer--my first was "Battlefields of the Mind," which I still use as a reference/text book! Joyce has a way of teaching God's Word that is practical and easy to apply to our every day life. "The Confident Woman" is another daily guide. But, what I liked most about this book is that it puts revolutionary feminism into a Godly context. Joyce is awesome! "The Confident Woman" is a book that has something for every woman--whether you see yourself as a liberated woman or whether you see yourself as oppressed by society and/or by men, your mind will be renewed by the Word that Joyce uses to minister God's love. In her chapter entitled "Setting The Record Straight," Joyce boldly states that: "I believe that Satan has methodicaly taken centuries to build wrong thinking about women into the minds of society. This wrong thinking has caused women to be mistreated, and in turn, has caused women to lack confidence." This book is a must read! Be blessed!
Excellent book!.......2007-02-15
This was my first introduction to Joyce, even though I am a Christian woman. I'd never read any of her books or seen her television program "Enjoying Everyday Life." But now I'm looking forward to much more from her!
I believe Joyce truly has a gift for writing, teaching and preaching! She's honest, truthful, practical and bold in her message. If you hunger for God, and know you're not living the kind of life that you could be, you will be blessed by this book! It's inspirational and encouraging, filled with scripture, and a message of hope! Joyce's style is down to earth, clear, and applicable to today! She uses examples of women from all walks of life that choose to live courageously, and follow Jesus.
I plan to re-read this book again (later this year) and gain even more insight, as well as other Joyce Meyer books! She's really terrific!

Customer Reviews:
Great if you don't care what she looks like.......2007-06-21
This is a great book, if you are desperate for sex and just want to have sex with any female that's WILLING regardless of what she looks like. I can paraphrase the entire book:
Go out to bars and make eye-contact with every girl you see. If no one makes eye contact with you, go to a different bar. When a girl makes a lot of eye contact with you, go talk to her, talk, talk, talk, then try to bring her home.
There are SOME good points in the book, like why stay in a crappy bar all night with no women, drinking yourself silly when you could go to another bar that does have women. And keep your head up and make eye-contact. I did notice after reading this book that I normally look down or at the floor instead of looking up at oncoming girls. So that's definitely valuable. I keep my head up now and look for eyes.
But all this book does is help you find the girls "that are looking". It doesn't help with girls that aren't looking. And what really hot girl is going to be looking?? It says NOTHING about what they look like. Per this book, going into a bar and making eyecontact with a 200 pound woman who is a 5 on the 1-10 scale and taking her home would be a succcess. I don't need sex that badly. I'm not interested in taking home "anything". I'm interested in meeting very attractive women. This book does not help with that at all. It takes the "Take what you can get" approach. No thanks. I think that's bad for your self esteem. I've read other pick-up books and I'd recommend "The Game" or anything by Mystery or David D'Angelo before you waste money on this book. And if I can soapbox for a second - Don't feel bad about reading Pick-up books. Pick up is a SKILL, just like anything else. There's no need to feel shame for learning a new skill. It's all just social-skills. A skill frankly that most cute girls have us beat at because they are hit-on ALL the time. I for one want to level that playing field.
Serviceable. .......2007-01-08
I disagree with a lot of the reviewers regarding the worth of this book. It certainly is not as good as something like How to Succeed with Women, but the strategies and tactics are practical and undoubtedly effective. Certainly a few superficial objections to it could be made, such as its pages not really outlining a system per se. It more proffers advice and best practices, yet its recommendations are intuitive and valuable. Also, its organization probably annoyed more than a few readers as the author introduced certain scenarios and then abruptly turned away from them without letting us know what we were supposed to be learning from the tale. Further, there's too much wasted space and empty pages. The important thing, however, is that a lot of these observations are pretty strong. I appreciated his words about women preferring bad boys, his 1 percent rule, scoping, the girl game, and that many women support their lifestyles via free dates with men. Yes, your money would be better spent with something like the Copeland and Lewis book, but The System clearly isn't bad.
Another average book on seduction.......2006-10-12
I've read everything on the subject of seduction. SO its hard for me to view books as someone who is reading it for the first time. I've also read hundreds of articles on seduction and posted the best of them on my website The Seduction Bible. So lets just say, im educated. THat being said:
This book is good if you've never read anything else. It's good if you don't want to spend the $40 it takes to purchase an E-book with more practical information. It does give you some great points in attitude, appearance, and general perspective of women. But it is missing the meat. It is missing the precise art of the mystery method. or the pure logic of cocky/funny.
But then again... Like i said I've long since needed to read these books and now only read them to review for the readers of my site, the seduction bible.

Very informative........2006-09-25
As far as getting laid, this is one of the better books on the subject I've read. The author really seems to know what he's talking about. This book takes a more mature approach than some of the other books on the market which for me is much more relateable. [...]
Get real, read The System and start getting laid with no complications.......2006-09-06
I recieved The System a few weeks ago and so far I've liked what I've seen. I have met many women (thoug I admit I haven't been going out a lot, like 1 or 2 times a week), and two of them took me to their apartment inmediatly :). One was a 26 years old girl who was sitting with a friend at a restaurant when I approached her (she was giving me MAD eye contact, waving and all that stuff), and the other one was a popular ex-model of 36 years old who I met at a friend's party. I can't complain so far. I'm sure I would have still more success if I got out at least 4 nights weekly or drive to many places during daytime.
The most I like about the book is that if you read it well, when you go out and start having sucess, you feel confident that you can get laid whenever you want, and the desperation disappears. Still, you must put what you read into practice and experience what it is said there by yourself, not just read it and hope that some girl with enter your house to get you laid, that's for late night movie scripts.
I want to make a few points though: from the reviews I've seen some guys who apparently have read other seduction materials and expect this to be hardcore stuff or something like that. Contrary to that, the book is very simple, so simple that during and after reading it, you say "¡I knew that, that's pure logic" but if you think about it, yes, it was very logical stuff, but had you tried to apply that sometimes?
Let me explain, the main rule of The System is the 1% rule, which basically states that wherever and whenever, at least there's always 1% of the girls ready to go to bed with you (ex: in a 100 people bar, there's minimum 1 girl you can lay that same day). Yeah, you can say sarcastically "wow what a great discovery" but as I asked above, "ok mr. smart guy, but have you actually been out there looking everywhere until you find that ready-to-bed girl?"... ask yourself this and you will know if you are just another one critizising or a happy person who's confident that he can get laid the same day if he's motivated to go out until you find that 1%.
I should add that I also read lots of dating material and that sort of stuff in the past, however, most of that is focused on building attraction, manipulation, pick up lines, complex techniques and all that sort of stuff you find by reading "The Game" by Neil Strauss (a great eye-opener book by the way), things that make your interaction with women complicated and focuses more on your ego than on getting laid. However, even for an experienced guy in other seduction material, after dropping all that complex stuff, this is a refresher. You will actually GET LAID (that's the only purpouse in the book), not spend lots of your time going out approaching the wrong women for 'practicing' your 'laser-beam attraction-hypnosis self-delusional powers'. Get real, just get laid and enjoy. Read The System and APPLY IT.
Now for the bad stuff. A few things that I think the book missed.
First, the conversational stuff lacks in depth. Why? because Valentine recommends asking questions, show interest and just flirting (that is not expaded too much). For more socially inept people, the ask question dynamic will make them feel a bit unconfortable during the blank spaces of the conversation, while the socially skilled will know how to advance and/or fill the voids. My recommendation is to get confortable with that conversational method first by trying what the book says with women friends, co-workers and all that stuff. Then it will be easier when you want to get laid. Also, more explanation in the bodylanguage section would have helped more.
Another thing is that if you live in a small city or a not so big metropolitan area, you will have to go out more because the 1% will be more difficult to be found. So in that case you must then persist, do what the author says and go bar from bar, until you find the adequate target, and that could take you lots of gas and a vehicle of you own if the places you frequent are very distant one from each other. Basically if you live in a smaller urban area, you must be prepared to spend more time looking for your 1% and some days wou won't be able to find the same-day-lay girl (especially if you are in a more conservative country).
Last, but not least, is the physical aspect. In order to boost your sucess rate of eye contacts (one of the first setps to identify your target), being in great shape and dressing good imrpoves your 1% to maybe more than 15%!! depending on your genetical looks. So I believe Valentine should have expanded that part of the book.
So, as a conclusion: If you are an average guy who doesn't want to lose time and energy trying to become a 'pick up artist' and just want to get to the point: sex whenever you want, read this book, get into the gym, prepare to travel a lot around your city and start going out a lot! everywhere! It is guaranteed that getting laid will now depend on your choice (the choice to just get up and get out from your house) and you will actually start getting laid. Good luck in your journey to unlimited sex.
UPDATE: I've found the perfect complement for the bodylanguage section. It's the wonderful written "Undercover Sex Signals" by Leil Lowndes. Believe me, it's a gem.
And for the talking section, I suggest any of the conversational books from Lowndes too, and/or becoming a more social person.
Enjoy, you have all you need to enjoy great sex (just don't forget to give them many powerful orgasms!)

Not for Women Only.......1999-12-03
This Bible has been extremely helpful to me. In addition, my husband and several of my male friends have commented that it has helped them better understand the needs of the women in their lives. It is easy to read and written in a way that makes it easier for me to relate the Scriptures' meanings to my present day circumstances. Very helpful for young Christians as well as older more mature Christian women.
This is an excellent reference bible for busy women!.......1998-12-06
I'm in love! This bible is written in contemporary language and is chocked full of references and examples. I use it as part of my daily morning devotion, for witnessing and just general at home study. A must for Today's Christian Woman.

Useful.......2006-09-21
I only read part of this book, the part on the procedure I am interested in (tummy tuck). It was useful info that was not sugar coated about the hard parts, etc. of the surgery. Some of the words are a little vulgar and I'm not really into that, but it's a small detail. At least the ladies tell it like it is. I'd suggest this book if you are considering surgery since there are not a whole lot of people out there to talk to about it depending on where you live. Plastic surgery is still considered taboo to talk about by many people. There is still a lot of negative talk about people who have plastic surgery. This book will also tell you how to handle questions about your new appearance when you don't want to tell the whole story. This book was written 6 years ago as well, so I'm sure some of the surgical procedures, etc. have been even further improved.
An excellent resource.......2006-04-29
I love this light-hearted book. It tells you what it's really like to go through the procedures. It has great before and after photos. The author uses a very friendly style. It's not overly technical, but it's the most down to earth. I felt like I was talking to friends about what they went through. I highly recommend this book as an excellent overview of what to expect.
Real Information.......2004-02-12
I've bought several books and had several cosmetic procedures and this is the best book out there. It provides the kind of information you really want before a surgery and in the decision making process.
Definitely worth the money - I'd give it 10 stars if I could.......2004-01-31
Last year my doctor suggested that I have medically-necessary breast reduction surgery, based on the symptoms I was exhibiting. Up until then, I had not thought about plastic surgery, so I didn't really know what to expect. So, I headed to the bookstore. I looked at and bought several books, but this is the one I used the most. I used it until it looked raggedy. It answered all of my questions, and it gave me more information than I expected - like the nitty gritty, gory details that even your best friend might not tell you about her own surgery. What really hurts and what doesn't. What a "surgical drain" is and what to expect. Why you should not freak out if the "T site" doesn't heal up right away. When to call the doctor after surgery and when to relax. This book was better than my best friend and definitely helped me pick the right, most experienced doctor for me; helped me determine what questions to ask my doctor and his staff before the surgery; helped me stay calm on surgery day since I knew what to expect; even helped me explain what the process would be like to my husband. Definitely worth every penny and more. I'd give the book 10 stars if I could! Thank you Susan J. Collini and Charlee Ganny! You girls are the best!
THE best cosmetic surgery book out there.......2003-12-26
I first read this book in preparation for my breast aug over two years ago, and thought that would be the only section I would read. I ended up reading all of it many times over (so many times, some of the pages fell out), and it truly is like listening to someone who understands my feelings about wanting plastic surgery. Also, the book is organized very well, and from someone who has read almost every book out there, this is more important than you'd think. This is a great book to have regarding recovery information, as well (wanna know how you're going to feel after your surgeries, and how to prepare for coming home to recover? This is excellent!). I loved the book so much, I flew across the country to visit Dr. Collini, the author's husband, for my rhinoplasty, cheek implants, lip implants, lower blepharoplasty, and liposuction surgeries just three weeks ago. Susan and Charlee, as well as Dr. Collini and everyone in the office, are great people, easy to talk to and ask questions of, and are very caring. Their personalities show in "Two Girlfriends Get Real". Thanks to their book and expertise, my longed-for makeover was a complete and total success. Because they shared their knowledge, I look and feel great. For my own friends who confide in me their wishes of plastic surgery, this is the book I buy them as gifts. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who wants to make informed decisions about the way they want to look!

good book for some basic to some what advanced info.......2007-07-25
okay, i seen many dating/relationship books that are really terrible. i've read some books that made me laugh, i've avoided buying these books, most of the time i'll scan through them to see if theres anything good in them, there usually isn't. but this book is different. there was actually stuff in here that taught me something. there are some stuff in here about body language that i didn't know, and some stuff about how you are supposed to ask for things. i didn't realize that i was making a mistake about how i asked for numbers, i mean come on that is supposed to be simple right. but after i change my style i notice i was gettin more numbers. this stuff really works. it gives you some tips about how to tell if a girl is into you or not, advice on your opening line, and how to get a girl to chase you, not the other way around. granted there was some stuff in this book that i already knew, you'll probably experience the samething, but a lot of it is stuff i didn't know or stuff i've never thought about. all in all its a very good book, i would have given it 5 stars, but because of some of the elementry stuff hurt its overall value. i highly recomend this book for all the youngsters out there that are having lady trouble and to any guys out there lookin to improve their game.
Good Book for Quick Read and Beginners.......2006-10-04
This book is good for a quick read, yet left me a little disconcerted, as the author admits a divorce or two... So, what kind of women do you want to find? This book might help you find a certain type of woman. It seems like a book with a regular-guy bar scene type of target customer. If you are a regular guy who hangs at the bar this book may be perfect for you.
Yet, what kind of women do you meet at the bar? Will they stay loyal to you? Are they together people, who last for the long haul? Or how will you treat them, as you may be a drunk who acts without long-term consideration? The ideas in this book may help you, but they didn't inspire me too much. There was some very good information on initial contact. I guess it's a really good book for the beginner.
Women better look out.......2006-08-11
This book is pretty good. It's written in a straightforward, no-nonsense way. It gives a list of where you can meet women, read her body language and know what it means. Conversation, dating; its all covered. Most of it's commen sense stuff, but it made me think about it.
If you are looking for a book about how to pick up women and get laid tonight, this book IS NOT for you. It's for teaching men what they can do to keep women interested in them.
Being of the female persuasion, I highly recommend this book........2006-08-08
My best friend and I found this book in the garage of the house she and her friends were renting. We read it and had some good laughs over it, but we both loved it and agree that the author definitely knows his stuff. I've recommended it to a couple of guy friends so far. It's very engaging, concisely written, and has a wealth of information. I would recommend it not only to guys who are looking to date, but to any guy who wants to better understand women in general, or to girls who want to learn what exactly guys are watching for.
This is THE book for dating........2005-08-17
If you ever felt insecure around women, then this is the book for you! It was easy to read and really opened my eyes up to the possibilities around me. This book applies to you if you between 16 and 60. When I read it, the haze that I usually stumbled around in while trying to meet a woman cleared up and my confidence grew exponentially. I may not look like Tom Cruise, but I can now act with confidence wherever singles gather and meet. This is definitely a must read for anyone facing today's single scene.

This book of real-life experiences-written for real-life women-will change your life! "For the millions of women who are looking for 'That Guy,' this is your handbook." Phyllis Diller "Cissy's book is a wonderful example of the resilience and power of women. She says we all have to keep on going with love, imagination and sex, and she tells us in a funny, honest way. More power to women.at any age!!!" Teri Garr "Our capability for being truly alive well into the age limits of our lives has barely been tapped and articulated. With this book the bar has officially been raised.read, learn and enjoy!" Herb Goldberg, Ph.D., The Inner Male, The New Male "Though Cissy is a city gal with zero body fat, she speaks to all women in their sixties. She is very honest about her biases and disappointments. Cissy urges women to take chances and her book is chock full of possibilities for those of us women over sixty who often feel invisible. Check it out." Marcia Wallace, Don't Look Back-We're Not Going That Way "If you want to stay a smart and sexy Grrl Genius in your sixties and way beyond, listen to what Cissy has to say, and for heaven's sake, do it!" Cathryn Michon, The Grrl Genius Guide to Sex (With Other People) Cissy Wechter, widowed after a long-term marriage, shares what she's learned as a suddenly single "60-something." She draws not only on her own experience jumping back into the dating world after more than 40 years, but also on her survey of senior women across America. Often undervalued by the men in their age group, sometimes feeling like "old clunkers" in the fast lane, unsure whether to claim a love for sushi and rap or admit a preference for broiled chicken and oldies radio, these women face new decisions daily. They wonder, "What are we, chopped liver? Just because we know how to make it..." Whether you wear a size 3 or 3X, have a Ph.D. or dropped out of high-school...whether you're widowed, divorced, or you've always been single...if you're a woman "of a certain age" challenged by today's dating scene, you must read this book. Cissy's amorous adventures, outspoken opinions, and candid words of advice might seem outrageous to some - especially coming from a woman her age. But her refreshing honesty and breezy writing style makes this book as much fun as a cross between The Golden Girls and Sex and the City. Currently living with a younger man, Cissy has found a way to live her own life to the fullest, and senior women everywhere would do well to follow her advice. After all, these may not be the BEST years of their lives, but they're definitely the best ones they have left!

Wisdom of the Ages For Women of Today........2006-12-05
A model needs careful lighting, professional makeup and expensive clothes to look beautiful -- as any ordinary woman does to a man who has fallen in love with her. Today, thirty-two years ago, Justin was born prematurely. Joy fills out hearts as we celebrate Christmas. Are we mindful of the sacrifices surrounding this tiny Savior's birth? Justin was named after Christ; "Christopher" as his due date was around Christmas. He is as far from Jesus as onc could be -- more like Judas. Jesus, the son of God, willingly left heaven's throne, took on a human body, and grew to manhood so t hat He could die on the cross as redemption for all of us. "And I say to you, everyone who confesses Me before men, the Son of Man shall confess him also before the angels of God. Luke 12:8.
It's easier to like anyone who is humble, like C. Southcott. "The Lord looketh on the heart." 1 Samuel 16:7. God allows us to pass through periods of loneliness so that we might seek Him. We are suffering today from a lack of strength. God works His greatest accomplishments in the lives of His people in hours of their great weakness and in hours of tremendous difficulty and darkness. The things that we flinch from are the things that God knows we need to make us strong. Jesus will save His people from their sins. Matthew 1:20. How great a love the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called the children of God, and such we are. At the end of the world, we shall be like His because we shall see Him just as He is.
Around 433 BC, Malachi whose name means "My messenger" proclaimed "He is coming, says the Lord of hosts. Malachi 7:1. Jesus and JOhn the Baptist delivered the truth of God's Word but the people refused to heed their messages. In Peter 1:7 "the appearing of Jesus Christ." If death is but a step away (and it just may be for me), there are some things we must do now. We need to make peace with God. By asking God to forgive our sins and trusting in the finished work of Christ, we shall have peace with God.
If death is a step away, we also need peace in our hearts. Colossians 3:15. We should be doing with our lives what God wants us to do. We can have peace with God through salvation, peace with others through forgiveness,(heed this, CS) and peace in our own hearts through obedience to the will of God.

Cheryl, I am really enjoying Healthy Hair Care Tips for Today's Black Woman. You bring back hair care issues that I've forgotten over the years. The myths about washing your hair every two weeks and "greasing your hair" needed to be put to rest. I nearly got caught-up in the "Hair Product Junkie" situation when my hair began to fall out in my early 40s. People need to understand that these ads are hypes perpetrated on desperate women by corporations (who probably have all of their hair). There are so many issues in your book that needed to be written. I'll never stop reading it and will forever keep it on my reference bookshelf. I hope you'll continue your research and write more on all types of hair. As we know, the cultural scene changes almost yearly and new discoveries are abound. Keep on keeping on, Cheryl. Forever your hair fan.

EXCELLENT BOOK.......2005-01-17
This book is very well written. It's very easy to read and understand.
I've been doing what the author suggests to keep my hair healthy for about three months and have gotten good results. Every Black woman should buy this book!
Not Good Enough.......2005-01-10
I purchased this book after the birth of my second child to keep the hair I grew during my pregnancy. It was way too general. I need product reccomendations that are specific. Also, since I have purchased this book (almost 3 years ago) I have read Cathy Howse Ultra Black Hair Growth system, reccomendations and products. They have produced much better results ( esp. air-drying then curling, getting rid of protein in moisturizer, deep conditioning and moisturizing often often...). Don't get me wrong as there is some useful info. such as reduce heat on the hair which is good and you will get good results as far as your hair looking good. But I not only want good looking hair. I also want healthier, longer, growing hair and this was not enough information.Now, I am not wasting my money trying every product that comes out. Healthy hair "tips" is an fitting title. But if you need more try Cathy's book.
A must have!!.......2004-03-26
I highly recommend this book as a reference for black women who seriously want HEALTHY hair. There's a lot of valuable information in this book. I wish this book was around years ago - if only I'd known then what I know now... My hair would be in a lot better condition. After a year of searching for a stylist, I finally found Ms. Cheryl and I couldn't be happier. It's a good feeling to know that my hair is in good hands. Plus, she tells it like it is. On my first appointment she studied my hair, told me all the things that I'd been doing wrong and then told me that "we" were going to work together to get my hair healthy. Then she told me that the first thing I needed to do was to "throw out my hot curlers." I nearly fell out of my chair. I didn't know what I was going to do without them, but I trusted her and she hasn't let me down. I look forward to every appt. and I'm already getting compliments about my new do :) Plus I bought the book for my cousin a "kitchen-trician" and she loved it and shared it with her daughter. It's a wonderful book. Easy to ready with lots of pictures. It's definitely a must have!!
