	TOM HARKEN - Author/Literacy Activist/Motivational Speaker, Horatio Alger Award Winner Every chapter in this remarkable book breathes with what love is all about, from how it should be shared, to if it should be shared. Indeed, God walks with us when we are alone. However, in matters of the heart, if you also like to have a hand to hold and find a friendly face delightful, I highly recommend Samantha Landy's latest. In it, she reveals vibrant and valuable relations secrets for Savvy Singles. All are worth sharing with that special someone you may or may not have met yet.
	JACKIE YOCKEY - President, High Adventures Ministries Samantha's commitment to excellence in her life is exemplified through her latest book, Savvy Singles' Relationship Secrets. Her desire to help other singles who face the issues of mid-life singleness and still maintain the integrity of their walk with God; shines in every chapter. Her practical information as well as survey statistics, enhances the supporting stories from real people. The Relationship Dating Chart is a marvelous guideline, whether the relationship is simply a friendship or potential mate. This is a contemporary, honest, Godly book that will help you on your journey to creative, captivating and compelling relationships.
	RANDY SWANSON - Ex. Dir. Significant Living, EVP, CFO, Corp. Counsel of TLI, Inc. This book is a bold and courageous look at issues of relationship that most are unwilling to address. Especially in the singles world, there is little Christian literature about dating after 50, boundaries for sexual behavior, and evaluating a new second half mate. Seniors are becoming increasingly sexually active, yet, there is little Christian instruction about the rules of physical contact, of proper protection against STDs, and the proper warnings against senior predators. These issues have become a reality for thousands in the second half of life. Samantha has taken a bold, honest and practical approach to these and many other issues of relationship with wisdom, wit, and practical advice, important statistics and competent research. This is truly a "must read" for the emerging boomer generation and today's mature adults.

If you are single and lonely, this is the right book for you!

	NANCY STAFFORD - Actress (Matlock), Speaker, and Author of The Wonder of His Love and Beauty by the Book Samantha has come through, again, with a book that is realistic, easy to use, and spiced with Samantha's own stories of being single, as well as those of her friends. You'll laugh at some of the foibles of her friends and be angry at some of the stories in the Abuse Chapter. Samantha's warning of how to look for possible abuse in potential relationships is worth the price of the book alone.

I've been married for over 40 years, yet I learned a lot from this insightful work. Thanks, Samantha, for more valuable help for singles and married folks alike.
	CHUCK McLUCAS - CPA/Investment Advisor - President, Charitable Trust Administrators, Inc. Samantha Landy has again "hit the nail on the head" on both addressing and answering the tough questions that both senior and younger Christian singles are asking and dealing with on a daily basis. These issues come up both in the "dating world" and everyday world of relationship building. She not only "talks the talk", but she has "walked the walk" in the matters she speaks about. This has given her both the experience and the insight from God on the issues presented and the answers that are in accordance with the Bible.
	DR. MICHAEL RAY SMITH - Professor at Campbell University, Author of Featurewriting.net With humor and warmth, Samantha Landy draws from her rich background for insights on love, loneliness, loss and fresh starts.

	SQUIRE RUSHNELL - Author, When God Winks Samantha Landy's prose is so delightfully relevant I wonder if she's looking over my shoulder. Consider this line from her new book - "Forgiving someone, whether they deserve it or not..is for our benefit." See what I mean? She's writing directly to me!
	DR. RICH DORST - Pastor, Community Church of Joy Samantha Landy is at it again! Her eminently readable Savvy Singles' Relationship Secrets displays her uncanny knack to take both familiar and sensitive topics and make them practical. In fact, this is the most practical book I have read in years! Samantha's chapter on forgiving is life-changing, replete with real-life examples of successes and failures in letting go of past hurts. My favorite section was "Soul Mate." I loved the phrase, "We are a composite of all our past experiences, both heavenly and horrific." Once again Samantha's practical bent shines through as she illustrates successes and failures - often with appropriate humor - in the search to find our "imperfect soul mate." Samantha's Points to Ponder at the end of each chapter are valuable for the individual reader or for group study. Savvy Singles' Relationship Secrets is clear, practical, helpful, Biblically-grounded, and persuasive. You won't want to put it down.
	CATHERINE A. MARES, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, Vice-President & Financial Advisor When it comes to relationships, we have a tendency to think only with our hearts. Samantha gives us hope and encouragement as she teaches us to navigate thru our emotions, using our intellect as well as our heart, on our journey to love.
