What a Man Wants, What a Woman Needs: The Secret to Successful, Fulfilling Relationships

by Eddie L. Long

Book Overview

One of the most common crises among Christians today is the failure to develop and nourish godly relationships. Sadly, there is little or no distinction between Christians and non-Christians in this area. Most homes today resemble the drive-through window at a fast food joint with family members coming and going but with no real communication taking place. Beyond the home, the corporate church body is fragmented by members unable to agree on what...

What a wonderful book

I initially purchased this book for a gentleman in my ministry as a Christmas gift. However, since I hadn't seen him in a while, I decided to pick it up and read it. This book is absolutely amazing. Bishop Long gives a personal story about his own struggle with the flesh. Some things will just cost us too much to get involved in. If you are considering marriage, then you must understand the purpose of a man and the purpose of a woman from a biblical perspective. There is divine order in God's kingdom and we must learn how to submit. God does not bless mess. Bishop Long does a great job shedding some light on our distinct purposes in God. From a marriage perspective, men and women were not created to have the same roles in the kingdom. Rather, man is to "guard" and cultivate everyone and everything God places in his life. For Christian men and women this book is a must read. Be Blessed!

It has opened my eyes

I was referred to this book by a friend. I have watched Bishop Long on television, so I knew that his ministry was awesome. As a single woman, I found this book to be very insightful. I used to be a dominating woman who always had to have control, but I see that differently now, and I will let the man lead me, if he is a "Kingdom Man". I really like the fact that this book used scriptures as references. I have referred this book to so many of my single and married friends because I think we all benefit from the teachings in the book.

High Five to Eddie Long

Bishop Eddie Long puts it down for us... you've got to read this book. He lays it out to you in plain english for us women as well as the men and throwing in the word ain't never hurt nobody either. I finished this book so fast and wanted more. He even gave some of his own recounts of the courtship with his wife. I've underlined info in the book and took notes this is a great book. I would highly recommend it to you all. We all can strive to grow stronger in Christ and after I read this I want to do just that... Exhale.. its gonna be alright! Scar ;)

Searching for more out of this life?

This book is for the young, the old, singles, married individuals, men, women.... EVERYONE. It is not just a book about finding a mate. It is for anyone wanting some insight into acheiving a closer relationship to God, their spouse, their child, etc. Wonderful information about various life situations. I would advise anyone/everyone to read this book (and practically have!). I love Eddie Long's candid writing style; it is like having a conversation with someone you already feel close to. I wish he had more books in print! Godspeed.

Not the Expected!!!!

This is a very good book! I purchased this book with the leary thought it was going to be a "how to find a mate book". NOT THE CASE! I was pleasantly surprised to find that it not only gives a person understanding about expectations of a mate (with Biblical backup), it also also gives revelations and confirmations about what may (or may not) be within you. This book is a great guideline on how one may develop and/or better SELF to being the person that God wants you to be for Him and for a mate.
