Real Talk Relationship Tips

With an extensive history of 20 years coaching, advising and leading a Singles Ministry, I’ve seen my share of broken, healed, delivered and successful relationships.  In this book, I pour out my heart regarding God’s way of doing things in such a critical area. If you were to ask, “What was the motivating factor behind this book of tips?”  I would unquestionably tell you the pain, the tears, the abuse and divorces I’ve encountered through various people. My mission for writing this book is that which is spoken of in Luke 4:18, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised.”

This book is written to encourage people regardless of where they may currently find themselves in regards to this subject. Whether they are contemplating a relationship, in one, engaged to be married, married, divorced, or starting over again, the tips in this book are designed to expose the wrong, provide specific biblical instructions on the right and encourage them regardless of which season they maybe in. One thing is certain, I know indubitably I’m on assignment to destroy ignorance and remove societal influence and statistics in this area that God deems as holy.

As the book title suggests, these are tips from a biblical perspective yet very relative. Having said that, you will not find a scripture attached to every tip but you can rest assured that none of the tips will contradict the scriptures. Subjects introduced cover a wide range of topics from dating, courtship, sexual purity, rejection, adultery, walking away, commitment, choosing the right one, starting over again and so much more. Get ready for an incredible journey.

With the first decade of the new millennium behind us, we have seen the attraction to and domination of “reality tv” programming. It is evident that people have a desire to watch and listen to “real talk”. What I love about Elder Rickey Macklin’s Real Talk Relationship Tips is that it delves into the real talk foray with helpful tips, realistic scenarios and overall wise counsel – all through the lenses of a solid, biblical foundation. It is vitally important for the body of Christ to have a voice in every day matters that men and women face as they journey through life.

Pastor Kelli Oldham

Elder Rickey is Biblically sound, always on target, and a straight shooter!  He tells it like it is! These honest and forthright tips are exactly what is needed in the Body of Christ to grow and mature the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom People living in it!  There is a Godly standard set and adhered to in every “Real Talk Relationship Tip!” It is a must read and refreshing for those who are not willing to compromise. It is refreshing especially in this day and time. (Job 32:20; Prov. 25:13)

Rev LaToya Jordan

This is an excellent read for those that want the truth regarding principles to building a healthy relationship. I had the pleasure of reading a review copy of the book and enjoyed it very much. I trust the validity of the information because it is biblically supported and does not contradict the Word of God. I also happen to take one of Elder Rickey’s classes, “Courtship vs. Dating” and can appreciate the years of experience and expertise provided. I encourage readers to pray first and allow God to speak you while reading “Real Talk” and to of course be obedient. You will feel much better and will escape much heart ache and pain from dead end relationships. I’d like to add that Real Talk can be read by couples in all stages of relationships whether courting or married.

Elder Rickey E. Macklin, who is MORE than qualified, knows just what he is talking about. I have read his other books and am very excited to read this one as well. I plan on purchasing this one soon. I can already tell that this book is going to touch some MAJOR relationship situations, how to AVOID THEM and how to SUCCESSFULLY date and pursue relationships… GOD’s way.  Anyone who reads this book, or any others of his, will indeed be BLESSED and encouraged as I am.

Lisa A.Carmen
