Editorial Reviews

Review
"Vikki Johnson's book is a great contribution to the lives of people on a quest for change." -- Dr. Jamal Bryant, founder/pastor Empowerment Temple, Baltimore, Maryland

Product Description
Ordained elder and radio personality Vikki Johnson addresses the emotionally crippling behavior of being addicted to counterfeit love. Some people have become so conditioned to being in a pattern of unsatisfying and spiritually draining relationships that they can't recognize what a truly genuine and loving partnership should be. They become accepting of the lies, anguish and humiliation and train themselves to become numb to the emotional pain. When someone does come along who bestows upon them love, honor and respect, quite frequently they sabotage the relationship simply because they cannot identify it. The negative cycle they are caught up in has them addicted to the counterfeit -- the deceptive, fraudulent behavior that weakens their capacity to trust.

The words of wisdom that Vikki Johnson delivers will help readers identify destructive behavior and encourage them to demand the love that they are entitled to. God wants us to be in healthy, loving relationships, but our body, soul and spirit must be in harmony in order for the unions to succeed. The faith-based messages throughout the book will help readers get on the pathway to loving God and themselves the way God designed.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm Talking About Real Love, February 6, 2008

By	Sharel Love "Sharel E. Gordon-Love, Author" (Piscataway, NJ) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Every Woman should read!, November 4, 2007

By	T-Savage "God's Blessing" (St. Petersburg, FL) - See all my reviews

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....

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended, May 18, 2008

By	Christian With A Pen (Norwalk, CT) - See all my reviews

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.
