Author Vikki Johnson has written a handbook for women that will help them to recognize counterfeit love for what it is.

Addicted to Counterfeit Love addresses the situations that women find themselves in because they do not first enjoy a love-filled, committed relationship with Jesus Christ. In turn, women will learn how to have a relationship with not only men, but women as well.

Situations that cause women to find themselves in relationships that are glued together with fake love were addressed, from not being able to let go of the past, to over-nurturing, languishing in a relationship that has not been defined, to looking for the father you did not have. Oh, and ladies, just because he goes to church does not make your relationship one ordained by God. You can find imitation love in church too! But ain't nothing like the real thing... love is, that is.

Author Johnson's handbook presents a scenario for each situation that she addresses and provides godly wisdom and scripture to share with readers. Addicted to Counterfeit Love tells us what love is NOT and what it truly is. I recommend this handbook to any woman who is searching for true love.

This is a awesome book. God has really ordained her writing. This was a blessing to me. The book is a very easy read, for any woman struggling with men issue. I think every young woman should read this book before entering into a long term relationship. Any broken woman should read this book. It is great because it give plain basic examples and area gives space for you to write your thoughts about the issues after each chapter. If you want a God center relationship this is your blueprint....

How many times have you lost at love? Turned your back on love? Staying in a loveless relationship? God designed the world and people to love everything. But the devil lives to bind your mind in confusion, works to deceive you and plans to destroy you. The devil has convinced you that counterfeit love is all you have and what you deserve. That is a lie. The word says, `faith, hope and love of these three the greatest is love'.

Johnson paints the picture that God intends for you to see. That love is a blessing and an honor to uphold. More than 20 personal stories chronicle love gone wrong, women stuck in bad relationships, realizing that you are drawn to toxic people and other issues. The reference to scripture paired with the truthful caring expressions of how to change will break the cycles of abuse, self-hate and jealousy. Each chapter ends with lessons learned, a scripture to meditate on and space to write affirmations of change.

Johnson urges readers to keep showing up for love. ADDICTED TO COUNTERFEIT LOVE is an easy-to-read tool that will help deliver you from the bondages of destructive love. It is clear that Johnson has a heart for everyone to center on healthy loving relationships. This is a must read for anyone in an emotionally crippling relationship. ADDICTED TO COUNTERFEIT LOVE would be an exceptional study book for a youth group, women's prayer circle or book club.

I love this book and appreciate the power of its message. I'm not only re-reading it, but I'm also purchasing a copy for a friend's birthday.

I received this book recently and I am thinking of countless women that I know who could benefit from this book. I have read several stories and so far I can either relate to the story or knows someone who can.

Although I know I will never do the lessons in the book, its good to know that the resource is there just in case I want to share the information with others.

Any woman who has gone through some drama in the sake of love or wanting to be loved should purchase a copy of this book.

This is one of those books you should keep in your personal library. I've read a lot of books that relay personal stories. Vikki includes hers (I believe in the intro), but each chapter has its own story to tell. This book is so inspiring and so well written, I started a facebook page for it, and it had a fan base. I gave a copy of it to a young woman who I hope has learned something from it. Many older women, like myself, have read it and can see ourselves in it, YET, many of us still don't learn the lesson (because we believe our experience and pain was enough....NOT.) I emailed Vikki shortly after reading her book, and she suggested I read it over and over until I get it. I didn't understand what she meant by that...I only wish I had re-read it because I was still messing up. The pain isn't worth it, folks. Read the book, keep it handy, especially if you tend to bring people into your life who are not capable of or willing to love you in return. Hence, counterfeit love.

Vikki is real in this book. I just love her revelations and how she imparts wisdom to the fickle feelings of love.
