Making Love Season

There are still many good men in the world that want to be faithful and remain in love with one woman. However, with the complexities surrounding today’s relationships and dating scene and the distinct ideologies of today’s women, treating a man with love and respect has subsided. There have been many women that want love and respect, but hold true to their principles of, “What are you going to do for me, first?” The confusion and trouble with relationships and marriage, makes it almost seem that no one believes in love or is afraid to love because it makes them vulnerable. Thus, for those women that still believe in love and with one man, this book will help them keep their man happy, and stop other women from doing what they are not doing to get their man. Also, this book respectfully looks at love from a woman’s point of view, so they will not be doing essential things to keep their man when their man is not deserving of such treatment. This book is specifically for women to get and keep men that have been good for them and who they want to remain in a committed relationship and marriage.

Twelve Ways to Please and Keep Your Man: Do These Things, and No One Will Take Your Man

It is a great honor for me to present a book on one of the world's greatest champions of humanity. Malcolm X had principles that enabled him to see the true worth of people, especially the oppressed or downtrodden because he could express their pain and frustrations more effectively. Malcolm X experienced the same atrocities and vices that bechance many black men today. From drugs, alcoholism, gambling, crime, and prostitution, Malcolm X understood the problems of the black community and later dedicated his life helping black America to change them. Malcolm X may not have gotten the same notoriety as Martin Luther King Jr. when he was alive, however, the Black Panthers and Black Nationalist Movement was overwhelmingly inspired by his teachings, and later on, quietly, so was Dr. King. In addition, Malcolm X, challenges everyone from the grave, to positively change his or her families and communities from self-destruction. Today, the black family and communities are in disarray, and as I write this, black children are kidnapped from loved ones, murdered, while black men are killing one another senselessly. We must celebrate the life of Malcolm X with the conviction of enriching the economic power in black communities, instead of empowering the hopelessness and criminals in the black communities and families with silence and fear.

Love is a beautiful gift that many people search for a lifetime to experience. However, the hardship and disappointment in relationships and marriage lead them down roads that stymie their ability to attain love. The fame comedian Steve Harvey wrote the book ACT LIKE A LADY, THINK LIKE A MAN, and his book and movie did not prove why women should think like men. However, it revealed the obvious, that when women tried to think like men, they lost their individuality and wisdom, which invigorate their quality. This book is not a direct attack on the validity of the fame comedian; however, it is Raymond Sturgis continuation of the conversation, why should women think like a man?

"Mental health is not a disease but a disability in which its reality can become problematic for everyone without help. The mass shootings stem from individuals who have not been help or are off their medications to avert them from criminal activity. Suicides are high amongst our youth, due to depression and those that surround them fail or refuse to acknowledge their cry for help. If we desire to live free and enjoy life, we urgently must answer the mentally ill in our families, communities and workplace cry for help, or they will inevitably kill us or themselves to gain attention we ignored."

Rhymes of Murder and Suicide

The world has too many governments that misunderstand and miscalculate the conditions of the poor. Poverty destroys everything that psychologically and physically makes a person whole and induces them to commit a crime for survival. Across the United States, we have citizens that cannot feed themselves or their children.

Across America, politicians are asking Americans for their votes while their children are going to bed hungry at night.
