The Bodyguard for Women's Hearts returns with brand-new tough-love advice for satisfying relationships and spiritual fulfillment. Some women have become so accustomed to the games and manipulations of men that they are virtually sitting ducks for all the suckahs out there. Every woman has to be able to recognize Mr. Wrong before she lets him into her heart. True love is definitely out there -- you just have to know where to look. In How to Duck a Suckah, Big Boom -- a former pimp, player, and hustler -- draws on his own sordid past to help women avoid traps, demand respect, and live a drama-free life. His overall message of self-empowerment proves that you can't be happy with anyone else unless you are happy with yourself.

This volume gives a theoretical account of the problem of analyzing and evaluating argumentative discourse. After placing argumentation in a communicative perspective, and then discussing the fallacies that occur when certain rules of communication are violated, the authors offer an alternative to both the linguistically-inspired descriptive and logically-inspired normative approaches to argumentation. The authors characterize argumentation as a complex speech act in a critical discussion aimed at resolving a difference of opinion. The various stages of a critical discussion are outlined, and the communicative and interactional aspects of the speech acts performed in resolving a simple or complex dispute are discussed. After dealing with crucial aspects of analysis and linking the evaluation of argumentative discourse to the analysis, the authors identify the fallacies that can occur at various stages of discussion. Their general aim is to elucidate their own pragma- dialectical perspective on the analysis and evaluation of argumentative discourse, bringing together pragmatic insight concerning speech acts and dialectical insight concerning critical discussion.

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8) I picked these verses to begin the ceremony of my wedding in 2007. In 2015, I found myself wishing those verses said a time to heal no more than one month, a time to break down no longer than three months, and a time to build up no longer than a year! A time to weep no more than a week. A time to mourn no longer than six months, but they don't. There are no time guidelines or limits. It just says there is a time and a purpose for everything. I was divorced and filled with questions about waiting, finding Mr. Right, and the next steps in my life. People told me to wait, and God would bring someone into my life. They gave me scripture and advice like "Wait, and when you least expect it, he'll appear." I wondered if they thought I was waiting on Casper. Oh, and I didn't want to wait. The advice was discouraging and contradictory. I was tired of being told to wait, but no one was able to tell me what to do while I waited. So I revisited a love study that I had completed before my divorce. I found that it provided some answers on real love, waiting and what to do while you're waiting. Some of the answers were difficult, and action was required on my part. It has been an emotional roller coaster, but the hope that it has brought into my life made the risk of change worthwhile. If you are waiting, preparing for marriage, in relationship turmoil, or starting over, you are not alone! I hope you can find some encouragement in Rx for Waiting.

God's timing is everything; timing can be our friend or our enemy. (To everything there is a season, and a purpose under the heaven.) Ecclesiastes 3:1 We must operate by God's timetable and not ours. Waiting is a choice. We cannot afford to miss God's timing because if we do, we will be out of sync and divine order. The clock is ticking and it is countdown, 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 minute before midnight. Midnight is a crucial hour and it represents all the negativity in our lives; but midnight also represents for the believers that it is officially the dawning of a new day, a fresh start, a new beginning, a breakthrough and a turnaround. A date with destiny and purpose is having a prophetic word spoken over your life, which manifests your promise. To God be the Glory for all the great things he as done. The year 2010 has been a spiritual journey for me, a journey of awareness and discovery. Awareness of the hidden things on the inside of me called creativity. I have discovered a new level of love for my Heavenly Father. While waiting inside the incubator I have learned to push pass the pain and worship, praise and glorify my Father. During this time I developed a more intimate relationship with the Father. I know him as Abba, Father and Daddy, and he knows me as his sweet precious handmaiden daughter. My heavenly Father is the one who validates and sets his approval on our lives. Now I truly know who I am and whose I am and because I am intimate with my heavenly Father, I am free to be me. It has all been "Worth The Wait".

I was still single, still frustrated, and still did not understand why the wait was so long. Truth is my past encounters with love were dysfunctional and I needed to be reprogrammed. God taught me that the wait is not as important as what you do while you wait. Complaining, jumping in and out of unhealthy relationships, and asking everyone you know to help you find a mate is not what God intended. I was going around the same mountain. I needed to not only learn how to wait but how to trust God in the wait.
