5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent educational read!!,
By "bignie" (Philly, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Power, Passion & Pain of Black Love (Paperback)
The author made excellent points about the relationships among African-Americans. His explanation of statisitics tied in with his theory show that he is very educated, and that he is not basing his ideas on what he "think he knows". This book has made me realize the mistakes I've made in life, and taught me how to move on and not make the same mistakes again. One important point he makes is to take care of all YOUR issues first, so you have the time and energy to focus on a LASTING relationaship later.

What A Eye Opening Experience with this book!,
This review is from: The Power, Passion & Pain of Black Love (Paperback)
I'm almost finish with this book and what to suggest it to anyone who is single, engaged or in search of their soul-mate. I plan on passing this book to a friend, family member or someone else because it has to be shared. The book is awesome...the author is 'out of this world.'
This is my third book by the author an I continously learn and think some much from his writings and research... Don't sleep on this - RUN, RUN, RUN to Amazon.com to get this book and learn more about dating, relationship and yes - LOVE in the Black Culture/Community
