Are you frustrated with the slow response you receive from men? Why does it seem that men miss the cues women use when expressing an interest in them? Like many of you Dr. Velma Bagby's daughters asked the same question: "why are men so slow?" This book is Dr. Bagby's response - detailing conversations with her single daughters over time and using as a foundation, the story of God's creation of marriage between Adam and Eve. The practical steps she outlines will change your relationship experience and your perspective, so you can enjoy a fruitful outcome. This book will help you determine and understand: - Why men are slow. - Whether he is interested. - If he is "the One." - If you are "the One" for him, and who makes that decision. - What a woman should do while she waits. - If you are prepared for marriage; and if not, how to prepare.

We can come to believe that our walk with God will only be filled with mountaintop experiences, it is not always the workings of evil, but Dr. Velma Bagby reminds us that in fact, God can also order for us A Place Called Down. If you enjoy books written by one of her favorite writers in this genre Max Lucado - You'll Get Through This, then you will enjoy A Place Called Down. In her new book, Dr. Velma deviates from relationship-focused topics to bring us into her own testimony of tests, trials and tribulation, to offer insight into the low place. She describes a place which is not fun or easy, but by its very nature can be likened to a refiner's fire. A fire so hot that it burns away all impurity and that which is not useful to God. This is how the place called down can feel. Isolating. Difficult. Unyielding. Helpless. It is a place of suffering - tragedy, illness, job loss, financial woes, death, divorce/separation, relationship issues, pandemics & more.Yet, even in the place called down, there are what Dr. Velma calls rainbow moments where God uses the kindness of others to inspire, encourage and uplift you during those down places - simply to remind you of what you already know - He is with you and He has not forgotten you.A place called down is common for us all - the question becomes, how will you handle it and how will you come out of it? Commit as Dr. Velma did, to come out of the place called down with something: maturity, faith, strength, joy. Decide now that you will yield to God's plan and leave with gifts that only this place can produce. Get excited because something is going to change in you through a down place: your faith level, your perspective, your preaching, your understanding, your gift, your relationship with God. God will change you in the down place and you will come out better

The "CATCH" No One Wants-is the story of Veronica Dawson a PK (pastor's kid), who frantically searches for potential husbands in all the wrong places-a 32-year-old successful millennial, who is obsessed with getting married because she has already missed her original goal... to be a wife by thirty. Her father Greyson watches her wrong choices and sees the men mistreat his daughter; frustrated, he seeks God's direction. Greyson's answered prayers prompt him to use what he knows as an expert fisher.He invites Veronica on a two-day fishing trip for a one-on-one intervention. She does not know that her dad is on a mission to rescue her through their Christian faith teaching about dating with an intent to marry. As a seasoned fisher, Greyson sees the behavioral similarities between men and fish. For the intervention, he creates five metaphorical stories he shares with his daughter on their trip. Four stories represent the men she has dated: the Catfish who loves garbage, the Salmon who avoids getting caught, the Sturgeon who likes to nibble, & the Pufferfish who is beautiful until agitated-all highlighting the dating mistakes Veronica continues making even now. The fifth story-the Goldfish-represents the man God has chosen just for her. He is the CATCH No One Wants, and the husband she deserves was standing right in front of her the entire time.
