Book Description

Publication Date: November 29, 2005

WINNING POINTS WITH THE WOMAN IN YOUR LIFE ONE TOUCHDOWN AT A TIME GIVES THE MAN WHO WANTS TO BE A STAR QUARTERBACK IN LOVE "GAME PLANS"...EXPLAINED IN FOOTBALL TERMINOLOGY.

As the new star quarterback steps into the stadium for the first time, his body and mind fill with anticipation and apprehension for what lies ahead in the coming season. Will he run or pass? How will he win the most games with the fewest fumbles and penalties so that he's the one on the field come Super Bowl Sunday?

The answer boils down to what he's learned from watching, practicing -- and reading the playbook.

The same applies to relationships. For would-be Romeos of all ages who ask, "How do I win in the game of love?" comes a relationship playbook. While mistakes happen in any game -- and any relationship -- many can be prevented by learning the right set of moves and using the correct language that will get you off the bench, in the game, and eventually into the end zone. Using football terminology to reveal the mysteries of women (like what they look for in men) and the best ways to approach, charm, and date them, Winning Points with the Woman in Your Life One Touchdown at a Time explains:

• Communication that will help you avoid incomplete passes every time

• Why hitch and go doesn't work in relationships (do what you say)

• Recruiting and stats: things women need you to know

• How to gain the same trust, honor, and respect from a woman that players on a team have for each other

• The last pass: how and where to meet the woman in your life

And much, much more. Peppered with relationship advice from legendary NFL players as well as from Scripture, Winning Points with the Woman in Your Life One Touchdown at a Time enables you to peer inside the female mind and heart so that you can find yourself in a great relationship -- without lost yardage.

More About the Author

It might have been enough for anyone with a great voice and a dream to win the Golden Music Award "Female Vocalist of the Year." It might even have been enough to earn the prestigious Levi Strauss award in addition to garnering a host of other industry awards. But when you're Jaci Rae, it just isn't enough.

You see, Jaci is a renaissance woman, and that means that almost on a daily basis new dreams are born and new ways to share her gifts with the world emerge.

Not only is Jaci a gifted and accomplished musician and singer, but she has also authored several children's books, non-fiction books, humor books and how-to manuals.

Yet Jaci is only getting started. Her grit and determination have brought her from an impoverished childhood to an award-winning singer, No. 1 best-selling author, relationship advisor/dating coach and entrepreneur who continues to empower other people.

For those who know Jaci its obvious that she's an uncommon person who understands what giving is all about so as a way of giving back, her writing focus has been designed to help people succeed through an understanding of music, understanding of life, and understanding of self. Due to her extraordinary successes, writing prowess and indisputably giving nature, Jaci thrives on finding ways to help others live more fulfilling lives. Having earned a reputation for her incredible insight and knowledge, she is often seen on television, heard on numerous radio stations, and is routinely invited to appear on advice panels.

A rare woman with a range of creative skills, Jaci's writing career began at the tender age of 8 years when she began expressing her curiosity for life through poetry. As her inquisitiveness continued to grow, by age 9, Jaci had read countless books on the study of communication, relationships and the human mind.

By age 15, Jaci began her formal education on the subject of psychology and by the time she entered college it was with a minor in psychology and a major in music. So when Jaci wrote her first book, "The Ultimate Guide to Music Success" it wasn't a big surprise that it became a major accomplishment and a reason to continue writing. Her next book, "The Indie Guide to Music, Marketing and Money" made quite a dent in the music industry and the accolades were glowing.

Reginald Owens and his partner got college bookings, radio, and Internet airplay, and also the number nine spot in the CMJ (College Music Journal). And former A&M Artist Elisabeth Carlisle said: "I just read "The Indie Guide to Music, Marketing and Money" and I might have to eat my words about no one coming along with a magic wand...Jaci Rae comes awfully close!! I wish I had half the information in this book several years ago! What a gift Jaci Rae is giving so many up-and-coming musicians. Thank you again for such a goldmine of information"

With one book after another under her belt, her next achievement turned out to be the #1 Nationally Best Selling book, "Winning Points With The Woman In Your Life One Touchdown At A Time - How To Score For Men and Women." This book addresses relational problems for men. In her book, Jaci brilliantly executes and creatively targets the most difficult audience on the planet, the American male. Winning Points with the Woman in Your Life is an original work, a refreshing, slightly tongue-in-cheek comparison of football and relationships that gives men a memorable way of visualizing male/female action and reaction.

Here's what readers had to say about the book. "Winning Points with the Woman in Your Life One Touchdown at a Time" by Jaci Rae is the best and only book I have ever seen that embraces men and does it with their interests in mind. I read this book cover to cover two times and found the information extremely useful and pertinent. It's fascinating and compelling, but most of all informative." - Dr. Dale A. Helman, Neurologist - Salinas, CA.

"I found Winning Points With The Love in Your Life One Touchdown at a Timeto be very informative and quite a descriptive read. It is a wonderful help to those men and women who would like to improve their relationships. The use of football metaphors greatly enhanced the subject matter and made it a fun and easy read that kept me turning the pages. I truly enjoyed this book and recommend it." -- Tim Miller, Operations Manager for the Pro Football Hall of Fame

Now Jaci cleverly shares her newest work titled "Shop For a Day With Jaci Rae - How to Get Almost Anything For Free." In her latest book, readers reap the benefits of Jaci's own personal experience with money. Because her early years were hard, she was inspired to learn everything she could about money, making sure her experiences were more fruitful.

In "Shop For a Day" we learn everything about money; how to save it, spend it, why some have it and some don't, how to get value for your dollar, how to shop, where to shop, how to make money doing something you love, how to get almost anything for free, and much, much more. A must read book for anyone eager to understand, enjoy and be empowered by money.
With countless self-help books completed, her music career firmly on course and an array of accomplishments to her credit, Jaci is grateful for her blessings and excited about the future.

This review is from: Winning Points with the Woman in Your Life One Touchdown at a Time (Paperback)

As a publisher of relationship books from June Marshall - "The Dirty Seven: Ladies Beware," and "Booby Trapped: Men Beware," - we have very high standards. I'm glad to say that Jaci's winning style and delivery meet our standards too.

Jaci uses football as an analogy to communicate to her target audience in an easy to understand way. She writes with humor, clarity, and purpose. Her observations on female behavior and how we men could and should "win points with the women in our lives" are priceless.

A pointer for ladies - don't be put off by the title! While it seems to steer the book toward men, Jaci tackles the "angles" from both sexes' perspectives.

Congratulations Jaci - you've won many points with this reader!

This review is from: Winning Points with the Woman in Your Life One Touchdown at a Time (Paperback)

As a psychotherapist,dating coach and founder of www.consum-mate.com, the #1 relationship problem cited to me by couples is "poor communication", fueled by frequent misinterpretations of each other's feelings and needs. In her book, "Winning Points with the Woman in Your Life", Jaci Rae speaks to men about the unmet (and often poorly communicated) wants and desires of women - and offers specific suggestions and techniques that are sure to build friendship, trust and deeper intimacy. Her creative use of football metaphor, richly seasoned with wit and great delivery- keeps their attention as she offers instruction on such topics as meeting, dating, communicating and nurturing romance. Lots of great insights wrapped in a fun, sports-themed package. A real touchdown, Jaci!
