The Lover's guide to speaking her language.

The average human being has a vocabulary size ranging from 20,000 to 35,000 words. More than a third of those words were learned by the age of 8 years old. Woman use roughly average 20,000 words per day. Men; use about 7,000 words per day. That means that even if men have a large vocabulary, and understand everything being said- they are terrible at communicating it, especially feelings.

Men are analytical. We receive information, analyze it, and then try to perform the most efficient way to solve the problem. The issue with this, is that when it comes to communicating with women, we fall short of being able to express ourselves; very short. That’s why even the most lovable and romantic men have problems in their marriages. We honestly do not know how to speak our wives’ love language effectively.

Gary Chapman has contributed a solution: “The 5 Love Languages for Men”. This is a tool, a “cliff notes” version, for the extremely analytical men who have read Chapman’s book, “the 5 love languages”, yet still having a hard time putting it into practice. This book is actually excellent for both sexes: filled with practical uses for the love languages and practical ways to use that vocabulary.

All I can say is: get this book! I don’t care if you own the original, I don’t care if you think you already know how to speak your wife’s love language; this book is a great refresher and an awesome “pocket tool” to get your rusty language polished up and stoking that fire.  

At the heart of every man is a desire to master what matters. Getting a compliment at work or on the court is nice, but nothing beats hearing your spouse say, “You make me feel loved.” If you haven’t heard that in a while or feel like you are not bringing your A-game into your relationship, this books is for you. The 5 Love Languages has sold 10 MILLION COPIES because it is simple, practical, and effective. In this edition, Gary Chapman speaks straight to men about the rewards of speaking their wife’s love language. You’ll learn each language, how to identify your wife’s, and how to speak it clearly. Packed with helpful illustrations and creative pointers, these pages will rouse your inner champion and empower you to master the art of love.

Roadmap Genesis: Is it the magic key to success in life?

First off; Let me clarify by saying, I am a devout Creationist. I believe that the Bible is 100% true and should be our starting point before even looking at “science”. Why? Because the Bible IS a scientific “textbook” and should be treated that way. Anybody who cares to dispute that with me is free to do so; after you find 1 “scientific” claim that can be proven wrong from the Bible, and then we will start talking. J

Genesis: the Bible as a whole should be our starting point, our reference, if we want to correctly explain the world around us. It should be done with devout attention to the one who wrote it. It cannot co-exist with evolution, humanism, secular reasoning. It is either God and His writing/commands, or man’s rationale; not both. It saddens me to observe people who amalgamate Gods’ distinct record of the past and mans’ theory of history. So in my personal opinion, this film was disappointing and did not fulfill my expectations. Genesis is more than about “society and productivity”, it is the beginning of a beautiful story that ends with the cross, and should not be used as a “weapon for prosperity” that any individual regardless of beliefs can wield.

I have to say, from a filmmaker’s perspective; this film is brilliant, flawless, and completely intriguing. Nolan Lebovitz knows his craft well, and this film portrays it perfectly.  Entertaining and informational, “Roadmap Genesis” is a great movie if you want to see how little the American public actually knows about the Bible and books contained. I would possibly recommend this film as a tool for insight into Jewish culture and the Torah, as well as some encouragement to study the Bible in its Greek and Hebrew text for a deeper understanding of what God is conveying to us.  

“Roadmap Genesis” is a film documentary that makes the case that the Book of Genesis is a roadmap containing guideposts on how to live a productive, fruitful, and fulfilling life that will help our society lift itself out of its current decline and return it to prosperity, promise, and accomplishment.

When Filmmaker Nolan Leibovitz found himself at a crossroads in his life, he knew he had to choose between continuing to make the Hollywood suspense thrillers that were his livelihood and trying to make the world a better place for his new young family. After much struggle, he found his answer in the Book of Genesis. He decided to combine his love of the Book of Genesis with his passion for filmmaking and set out to travel the United States, interviewing clergy and public figures in order to build an undeniable argument about the continued importance of the Book of Genesis as guiding force in our Judeo-Christian country.

“Roadmap Genesis” invites Americans of all faiths to engage in a dialogue about the relevance of the Bible in the modern age. Through interviews ranging from Gov. Mike Huckabee of Fox News Channel to Rabbi David Wolpe, from Alan Dershowitz to the Archbishop of Chicago Cardinal Francis George, from Erick Stakelbeck of the Christian Broadcasting Network to Ken Ham of Answers in Genesis and the Creation Museum, and many, many more, Nolan explores the rules that God has set forth to help us maintain a successful and working society.
