This review is from: Take Time 2 Know Him (Paperback)

After having the pleasure of reading TAKE TIME 2 KNOW HIM I discovered an actual known fact that its just times that change because the same issues occur to different people time after time.

The character Deidre in the novel, most females have experienced some of the same issues she went through trying to find LOVE. Although a lot of women don't like to exploit their personal situations it can be safe to say it happens to us all.

I enjoyed reading D.L.Christie's first novel on love. I noticed a difference in language with her novel than I've read from other famous authors. I noticed more usage of the southern accent & dialect. Which is very rare in books today. It seems more authors stick to the same ol' dialect and it works for them but I enjoyed a switch from the norm with this book. Heads up on doing your own thing. I hope to read more of that southern dialect from Ms.D.L.Christie up and coming novels.

Good Luck and Best Wishes on all your endeavors.

Luv Ya!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Growing Experience, April 13, 2004

By 

A.Z.Ruff "b4reel2" (Miami) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Take Time 2 Know Him (Paperback)

After reading this book all I can say is this is a must read for any young woman or man who sees sex as the only defining experience of real love. This book delivers a message of spiritual and self love that will make the true definition of "What's Love Got To Do With It" plain and simple.

I see this story as a young womans natural and spiritual transformation into maturity. Like a swan, we sometimes have to endure the ugliness outside before we can get to the real beauty on the inside. I love reading books with a message that overcome adversity. This book is definitely one that lets our young and young at heart know as long as we have God we have a way out no matter what the need is in our life and God will direct us to find "His" true love.

5.0 out of 5 stars Get To know HIM before you get to know them., March 25, 2004

Hallema "Author" (Miami , FL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Take Time 2 Know Him (Paperback)

Take time to know him is about a journey to self discovery and self love. The main character Deidre Dickerson, spent so much time getting to know men that she never got to know herself or God. This young girl was book smart but street stupid. She fell for every smooth talking, good looking man that gave her a compliment. I think DL Christie did a great job in relating what happens to young girls who don't understand the power of the God within. The mind set of this young girl reminds me of many the the pre-teen and teenage girls today. I hope this novel will enlighten and inspire all readers to remember to Take Time 2 Know HIM.
