Where did the idea for relationships come from in the first place? Does God really care who I hang out with? Is it even possible to avoid relational train wrecks? From his plan for intentional dating in the age of social media to handling break-ups well to doing family instead of just being in a family, Michael tackles the questions we all have about relational success.

Unqualified, A Life Coach Not Pastor

I say this in love. The book was not biblical. Mike Todd reads into the text and tailors scripture to fit his personal beliefs. The Gospel is absent from this book. Read (Galatians 1:8). There are legitimate concerns regarding his Theology, and I pray that he shepherds the sheep the right way.

Not enough meat but lots of gravy

Man you are one of my favorite pastors however this book does not speak to the gift you have of being anointed. I am an avid reader and this book I felt was written by a teenager just starting out. it was obvious at the beginning where this book was going. Your energy of being all over the place came to life in this book. While I appreciate your life's journey I wasn't sure if this book was about you or relationships. Maybe just maybe it's for a younger audience who does need guidance but not intellectual stimulation. I'm just gonna focus on your pastoral gift and continue to ask God to cover your steps. Your next book will have more structure, meat and maturity

“Progress, not Perfection”

Michael Todd is Pastor of Transformation Church and sermon series about marriage and dating on YouTube that’s gone viral to millions. After reading this book, it’s easy to see why. “Relationship Goals” is written in a contemporary style with easy, relatable examples. It’s also straight up based on biblical principles, gives chapter and verse and is not shy about saying what’s right and wrong. Todd is enthusiastic and heartfelt in his desire to share: “quiet the cries of culture and you may just hear the Holy Spirit.” A few of the gotta haves are : Aim, Purpose, Target and Goals. These are the steps that set us up to attaining successful relationships and the title of this review - “Progress, not Perfection”. Todd is certain in addressing the point that the most important relationship to secure is between yourself and God. Until that one is working properly, all others will suffer. He does admit that relationships outside of God are possible but spends the majority of this book showing the biblical principles of relationships. There are many little nuggets of goodness to harvest through this volume and the last chapter that’s written in tandem with his wife is sheer joy. One of my favorite’s would have to be: “Singleness is not a curse. It’s an opportunity!” There’s a brilliant discussion that goes on afterwards you’ll need to read for yourself. This entire book is full of things you’ll be interested in regardless of what stage of life you’re in. It’s truly a relationship book and can be used with kids growing up, pre-marriage counseling, troubled marriage counseling, or relationship advice in general. A book destined to become a long-standing resource; highly recommended 📚

A MUST READ!

This book is a game changer! Pastor Todd guides you to the user manual, The Bible. With his easy to ready style he speaks to you in a relatable way about how to work on every relationship in your life. It doesn't matter your age or relationship status this book is a must read!!! I wish I'd had these book 30 years ago!

10/10 Best book out!!!! 🙌🏾

So far I’m only on chapter two but I’ve already fallen in love with this amazing book. Paster Todd really put working into this book and dropped a lot of gems. I’m in my early 20s so having books like this to help guide me or just give me a little knowledge on thing I’ll experience in life is very helpful. Definitely would recommend this amazing book.

#Relationshipgoals

A MUST READ for anyone who is single, dated, or married and wants to improve their relationships. I truly wish I had this book 20 years ago as a teen approaching adulthood! Pastor Mike practically shares advise on how to improve your relationships. Everyone can learn something and I promise you won’t regret making this your next read for 2020.

Skip if you’ve heard the sermons

I love transformation church and like most of Michael Todd’s preaching, but this book just feels like he’s trying to profit off the sermons. While I like that he revisited the viral series from the pulpit, it disappoints me that it just so happened to coincide with the release of his book, which he’s been promoting from the pulpit. It’s basically the sermons in written form, nothing new added. I was really conflicted when he promoted it so heavily from the pulpit (And did a book signing in the church? What??), but I gave the book a chance since I think his heart is in the right place to some extent. The writing itself is a bit all over the place, which is his verbal style, but doesn’t work well in written form. The message is VERY surface level, so don’t expect deep, intellectual stuff. Like other reviewers, I think he also has a habit of twisting verses to fit his beliefs, for example: someone has a soul tie to anyone they have sex with. As someone who previously spent a lot of time in that arena, that’s just false, and the verses and justification he tries to use just don’t hold up. I’m sorry, but I’m tired of Christians who married young and have only had sexual relations with their spouse (or haven’t been with anyone else in decades) trying to tell those of us who didn’t go that route what it means with nothing to back it up. I’m not saying sex outside of marriage is wrong, but his thoughts on it aren’t biblically backed up. That’s just one instance of several that make me pause and go, “where in the world did you get that conclusion?” Overall, if you listened to the sermons for free, skip the book. You’re not missing anything new.

Genuine Relationship Help

Relationship Goals the series he preached was AMAZING!! This book is just a walk through plus more of that series. He’s so genuine about helping people win in relationships and you can tell through every word and every page. Thank you so much Pastor Mike for giving us something we didn’t even know we need.

You won’t be disappointed 🔥🔥🔥

I literally bought 2 copies of this book because I know I’ll have to share the book with someone. This book is going to change your life when it comes to relationships and it’s a book like no other, be prepared to be transformed after reading this book. Lastly, share this book with everyone you know, regardless if the know Jesus or not.

Kind of disappointing

7/30/20 I was so excited for this book. I watch Transformation church all the time and bought this for myself and 4 other ladies to do a book club for this book. That said, I really wanted to like this book. I’ve only read 5 chapters so far but it has been a pain trying to get through chapters. The first chapter was fluff imo. It was too long of an introduction. There is good stuff but I had to wait until chapter 4 to get anything out of it. So far not much of the Bible is really given and it seems like most of the quotes used are only used for the purpose of making the point that was already being made and not really about the Bible. Even the relationship from the Bible used was a stretch to try to get the point across form chapter 5. The points made were not bad - although I felt it could have been condense to less writing but the example seemed a bit weak. I know this is Pastor Mike’s first book but whoever he had to read over this (not proof read but for clarity) did not do a good job. All the information in each chapter had a right to be there but much of what I read felt like a school paper where you fluff your paragraphs to get length by rehashing what’s been said before over and over. It was organized disorganized mess. Some of the stuff from previous chapters were not just mention but talked about for 1-3 paragraphs which just felt like more fluff even if it wasn’t intended to be. Also a lot of what he says in the book, he’s said in his sermons (The stories used/some examples). So it also begs the question, do I even need the book? In comparing it to Nabeel Quereshi’s Seeking Allah Finding Jesus, Nabeel uses a lot of what he says in his talks about becoming Christian or when talking to Muslims about Christianity but the book expounded and added things he had not said (which you can find many of his talks on YouTube.) For relationship goals the stories and examples are verbatim what Pastor Mike would say in his sermons and the subsequent explanations also almost verbatim as well. I hate to say it but so far it’s been boring to read because of all the above. Will update after I’ve read to the conclusion as I’ve only read half the book.

Love this guy but..

Relationship goals was what got me interested in transformation church and I have loved watching Michael Todd ever since. However, I was a little disappointed with this because it's basically the written version of the series, i was hoping for more details or things you can't mention on live stream...but maybe he has the same restrictions for writing.

Get it!!!! Life changing!

Such a great sermon series that really caused me to examined how I was doing relationships in my life. The series was filled with practical Godly strategies necessary to be implemented in order to have healthy relationships all around. So there was no way I wasn’t going to get the book. The book is simply a deeper dig into the sermon series! Everyone needs to get it!!! Life changing!

Just watch the sermon

Firstly, I need to say that I LOVE pastor Mike Todd. Therefore, this review is nothing more than feedback, hopefully he will see it as such. I felt as though there was zero supply and demand. If you've watched the sermon(previous series and reloaded) you have no reason to purchase this book. He literally gives everything away in his sermons and the book is nothing more than a transcript of whats already been said. 2 chapters in and I was still waiting to hear mind blowing information that i haven't already heard, instead the only thing I experienced was a constant build up to more of the same info.

You need this book!!! ⚠️ WARNING: Pastor Mike WILL come for you lol

Pastor Mike Todd shares with you the secrets to win at relationships! If this book leaves you wanting more go watch the full series “Relationship Goals” on YouTube!!! Seriously, a game changer. 🎯🤍 I first discovered Pastor Mike Todd back in 2017 in the RG series and my life has changed so much! God has been speaking through Pastor Mike to reach me and so many others who were once broken! Pastor Mike and his words have truly changed it all for me. I went to visit his church in August of 2019 all the way from Galveston, Texas with my friend and we actually ran into him at the local Tulsa mall. He asked us why we were in Tulsa and we told him we came to attend TC! The next day when we arrived to church it was the “Crazy Faith” series. WOW!! (Go watch that one too) since then, Pastor Mike has been on social media and puts his number so he can personally call you!!! God had revealed to me that I needed to move to Tulsa to attend and be apart of what He was doing at Transformation Church after Crazy Faith back in August. After months of praying I texted Pastor Mike one night when he was on IG live and asked if he could call me(over 3,000 people were texting him too) I kept praying to the Lord for direction in my move to Tulsa and in March 2020 Pastor Mike called me! We talked about my move to Tulsa and how much this series Relationship Goals has changed my life. This book has been a blessing and every sermon from Pastor Mike has been a blessing too. If you want to win at relationships, and truly understand and know your worth this book is for you. Warning: Pastor Mike WILL come for you lol

If looking for something to move or inspire you, this is not it.

I was expecting to read this book and be amazed or moved or inspired like the weekly sermons. Instead it was just a quick weak summary of highlights/ footnotes to common folk 101 relationship/ marriage/ sex. Nothing in this book stood out to be different except the pictures. I would pass on this and buy Fervent instead.

Any relationship you have is important but it must first include God!!

I love this book!!!!!! It was necessary and broken down on each aspect; physically, emotionally, and spiritually. It gives you insight on each type of relationship that you can have. I enjoyed his sermon series and this book is just a great addition to that. I would recommend this book to anyone.

Put your spiritual seatbelt on; be ready to receive and take action!

I found the "Relationship Goals" series on YouTube back in 2017. At the time I had just celebrated 20yrs of marriage but after pt ONE- I was tore up from the floor up! Pastor Todd takes a controversial topic; draws you in with humor, keeps you intrigued with wisdom all while presenting the plan and purpose of relationships through the word of God! I purchased the RG book, audio book and study guide; seatbelt is fastened and I'm ready to go! I know the ride will be a little bumpy and filled with twists and turns but I'll keep my hands up in surrender to God's will and way! Expect your relationships to experience TRANSFORMATION!!!

It’s like reading a book from my big brother...even though I am older than him.

I love Pastor Mike Tood! I feel like we’re friends, because it literally feels like I am talking to my cousin or brother about relationships when I read, “Relationship Goals”. I laugh out loud and I find myself believing in the possibilities for me. This book offers insightful knowledge and practical tools to use in building lasting and healthy relationships. I’ve encouraged all my girlfriends to get it so we can do a book club!

Avoid at all costs

Don’t buy- it is poorly written and he only wants money. It is the same information from his YouTube videos. I wanted to support a black pastor ...I got to page 13 and could not finish. I tried to give the man a chance since so many people “hype” him up . Don’t be fooled ladies and gents ! It’s all a scam.

Just READ it! This is only the 2nd book I have finished since I graduated!(2011)

I have been in the single-stage for a year now. My heart desires a partner to do life with! When I heard about this book I had just decided I was going to start reading to better myself and my business. I started with a business book someone gave me. Then I found this book! I felt this is a tool God absolutely provided at just the right time. We have relationships everywhere. With our friends, family, work, kids, pets, God, and so many other relationships. This book answered so many questions I had about dating. I can not recommend this book enough! If we all read and applied it...this world would be a much happen place. The honesty and humor is what kept me around. I love how Natalie even steps in to chat for a while.

A must for all stages of relationships

I absolutely love this book. I recently became acquainted with Pastor Todd via YouTube and it was right when he released his book. This writing is so transparent and transformational. He talks about being single, dating, marriage and sex. He breaks each stage of relationship down to the simplest form, but incorporates great scriptures to help guide you. I recently divorced my husband and I am I a healing period of my life and I can’t put the book down. It’s right by my nightstand. The section on soul ties and abstinence is phenomenal. Please purchase this book if you are serious about being in a relationship and doing it the way God wants us to do it. It will really give you a healthy start.

Mixed feelings

I have heard the sermon and wanted to get the book, thinking it would be something new. Nope, it was things I have heard already but I did enjoy the way he worded it. I disagreed with the part in chapter 8 where he says if your in an abusive marriage seek intense counseling but don’t get divorced (paraphrasing). I don’t agree with him telling anyone in an abusive marriage either verbal or physical to stay and let God work it out. I been there and abuse takes a bad toll on the person,family, and marriage. I was quite shocked to read this from him because I have been watching his sermons for a few years now and enjoy his energy.

LIFE CHANGING ON EVERY LEVEL!!!!

This isn’t just a book by any means because you will want to highlight things and read several times!! This is a real lifetime manual that can be referenced as often as necessary. I have purchased several to gift to loved ones because I want them to receive the blessings that I have through this book. God truly works through Pastor Todd but Pastor Todd’s “keep it real “approach to his wisdom is so down to earth as if he’s your best friend with great advice at your home visiting and kicking it with you. Made me wanna watch all of Transformation Church’s videos on YouTube and listen to the podcasts in my car. The first few lines and chapters of this book will give you spiritual and common sense “ah haa” moments. You can’t stop reading. A definite page turner. I have grown spiritually and emotionally but more importantly was reminded of a lot of life lessons that will continue to foster the amazing life that God has for us all if you are obedient to his instruction. This will improve every relationship of any kind. But more importantly the relationship you have with yourself, to help you make the life changes for the life you really deserve.

Ehhh - It didn't slap lol

Honestly, I do not recommend this to those who are big on grammar and overall sentence structure lol. It was very juvenile. If you'd like to get a better understanding, I would suggest watching his sermons as he is truly anointed. If you do feel the need/want to read it - I suggest purchasing the study guide as it dives in a bit deeper and is more comprehensive. I hope any other books he writes in the future, he takes his time and his editor does a better job at editing. I love his sermons...he juuuust needs to work on his writing style.

Real just got Realer!

As I read, I can totally hear Pastor Michael Todd speaking. His spirit and personality are in the words and leap off the pages! It is not a rush and read, it is a take your time, let it marinate kind of read. Each page truly encourages you to keep reading as you see yourself, your life and your experience on each and every page. As a Certified Divorce Recovery Coach, this content is so refreshing and uncomfortable in an incredibly good way! So many of us have tried to do relationships our way...and now thanks to Pastor Michael Todd, we now have access to this blessed tool that will help us see more clearly, God's way to do relationship. I appreciate the "unlearning" of old ways of doing and thinking in order to learn a new way of thinking and doing/experiencing relationships. I am so grateful it's FINALLY released!

Disappointed

My husband and and I went in a marriage retreat just by ourselves. We were disappointed because the book talked more about himself, the author. I didn’t feel it really was geared toward others.

EVERYONE NEEDS TO READ

Pastor Todd's book is great, a real relationship manual for all. I like the part about SINGLENESS, and how embracing it. I am a single mom with 3 girls and I have failed at the whole relationship thing. Spent 20 years in two unhealthy relationships which I'm now seeing the affects of through my girls. After the last one was over I spent time in singleness digging in to the word of God and learning who I am. This book has brought things to light in the way that God wants our relationships to be and allowed me to be confident in the not knowing. I will be passing this book on to my girls so that they can get it right the first time.

Definite Progression...not Perfection

I’m glad I watched the sermon series before reading the book. Some of the ideas are a little disconnected and difficult to follow. A little disappointed. 😏 I would suggest watching the series prior to reading.

The mention of the “Trinity” hurt this book.

Todd mentions the “Trinity” on page 26, writing that he can’t totally explain it. “Nobody can,” he writes. So then, why try to teach it? The Bible doesn’t even have the word “Trinity” in its pages. His attempt in this effort made me suffer to understand the next 20 pages in my attempt to shake off confusion. It was otherwise a very good book.

Exceed Expectations! Amazing biblical Perspective on Relationships

I am only at page 48 and I feel the Lord speaking to me through Pastor Mike's voice. Giving me a new perspective. My prayer has been Lord open my spirit eyes as these words enter into my body and soul. It is real and so down to earth. As I read I feel the presence of God shaking up some feelings that has lingered for too long. Renewing my heart and spirit. During this quarrentine I have felt so lonely. Seeing all the family pics and videos, kids running around and cooking with bae posts. For a minute I gave the devil a lil chance to slide in my dm. But God says nope, block and delete those lies. This book came at the right time. My Jesus is always on time with a message for me! Instead of focusing on what I do not have, I am so grateful for all things I do have. And I am super excited to see all that I am going to discover about myself through this season. I believe with all my heart and soul. I am worth discovering. Nobody can do it for me or make me do it but everyone will benefit (Michael Todd, 2020 Pg 48).

Typical New Age Christian Book

This is a great book to spark conversation between couples and even single individuals as it literally poses questions if you pick up the corresponding guide version. Other than that it feels like another new-age Christian preacher using words like "Great!" and questions like "Isn't that cool?" that ultimately feel like a generic happy go lucky piece of Christian literature. To each their own though. Just not my cup of tea.

Best Relationship Truths for ALL ages and stages of life! EXCELLENT BOOK!

Mike Todd's book relates to people of many different ages and stages in life. He give the most real, honest, Biblical relational advice I've ever received. He is not afraid to speak the truth about relationships and what God says about relationships. He unashamedly tackles issues that are rarely talked about - especially in church. The guidance in this book is so valuable! He teaches not only about romantic relationships, but how all relationships, whether they be friendships - or professional relationships can impact your life significantly. I cannot wait to share this with my children as they get a little older. I believe that the truths Mike Todd so boldly shares about in this book will change young peoples lives and save them from so much unnecessary heartache and pain! I cannot recommend this book enough to all readers!

Not just for couples! Everyone can benefit from this book!

I love how Michael Todd writes! I was laughing, nodding my head, highlighting and gaining insight cover to cover! This is a book so beyond just dating or just marriage. This book has insights into healthy relationships in general. At every stage in life single, dating, marriage, and kids there are lessons to be learned! Marriages are failing today because there’s a lot we’re not doing at each stage. Forget doing it right people are doing all the things they shouldn’t and nothing they should. I have never read a book on relationships that was so simple but had so much depth! At every stage of life we have to do work! I love that he acknowledges this is a cycle and while married we have to work on our self! I have been happily married for almost 14 years aside from scripture this is only the second marriage book I’ve ever read. The pastor that married us challenged us to study God and each other not marriage in and of itself. I think Michael Todd would agree with that!

Nothing burger

Huge disappointment! Those big margins and bold paragraph summaries in the book remind me how I wrote my school term projects. The content is tedious and not straight forward. I was hoping to read some helpful tips with solid statistical support but it seems like they are just from the author’s personal experience. Besides, it’s a little bit weird for an atheist to read this book.... (full of God’s plan)

Good book, but a little on the light side

I'm a big fan of Mike Todd, I love his sermons, his style and his personality, but above all I love his passion for Jesus. I got this book hoping to be blown away, but to be honest, I had heard basically everything in the book already. Granted, I follow a lot of his sermons, but the book did not go into much depth. It does read well, in typical Mike Todd style, but it was just very superficial I felt. I think it'd be a good read for someone who is literally just coming to this topic for the first time, but for someone a little more seasoned, it probably would not satisfy.

A H.O.T Book! (Honest Open and Transparent)

Single, dating or dating...if you wanna get it right the first time YOU NEED THIS BOOK! Do not be daunted by the fact the Mike Todd is a pastor, he is one of the most real humble, honest and transparent man of God you would ever want to meet. The goal of this book is to set you on the right path to get your relationships right no matter where you are in the process. After seeing his relationship goals series on YouTube I had to have this book and it did not disappoint. I only wish I could of had it in my hands earlier in my life. If you are single and waiting, mingling and dating or about to say "I do" do not make another move until you read this book.

Best guide for Relationships in Gods way.

So I got first introduced to Pastor Michael Todd when someone shared a clip from his sermon series relationship goals. I watched it about two years ago and at the time I was dating my now husband and we were considering getting engaged. So I had him watch the sermon series with me which solidified our decision to get engaged and now married. So I was super excited when the book came out. I have book, the study guide and also listening to it on audible. My husband and I are half way through it. With the study guide I discuss some of the questions with my husband. So far the book is more geared toward single people but I know the last few chapters deal with having a successful marriage, I’m just not that far in the book yet. I love how Micheal Todd explains how we are suppose to do relationships in Gods way. I’ve been in church my whole life and I have never had it explained to me in the way that he does. I definitely pass on relationship advice to my single friends that I get from the book and I recommend everyone get the book and read it for themselves.

Boy that was a mistake.

I tell you what, don’t buy this book if you aren’t planning on reading it. I thought it would help things between my girlfriend and I but all she’s done since I bought it is fuss at me for not reading it. I should’ve known better because I don’t really like to read in the first place. Hope you all have better luck than I did.

Applicable to any relationship status

I recommend reading Relationship Goals regardless of your relationship status. Even if you’ve been married for forever, there’s a lot of wisdom in the pages about caring for yourself and intentionally dating your spouse. There is plenty of encouragement and practical steps for those who have been dating in ways that are less than God’s best. And there’s hope and celebration of those who are single whether by choice or circumstance.

INCREDIBLE

I am a huge fan of pastor Michael Todd. I have been listening to his sermons via the Transformation Church website for awhile now and just, WOW, can this man preach!! He has such a gift in preaching the Word and giving me goosebumps pretty much anytime I hear him speak, no matter what the topic is. I thank God for gifting him with his ability! As a single woman (I am 28 years old...I am writing this review under my dad's account), this book was incredible to read. It touches upon all of the various stages of relationships, and even though I am not married, his advice is extremely relatable and you can gain so much regarding relationships (romantic or not). I would HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who is pursuing a dating life that is Christ-driven. Can't sing its praises enough!

Not for everyone

While I appreciate Michael Todd's ability to speak clearly and connect with his audience, I was more distracted by the amount of social/cultural references than I should have been. It almost made me want to put the book down, as if I could not take him seriously. However, it does make it an easier read. Additionally, the book boasts the ability to connect to "married, single, or it's complicated" couples, but this was where I disagreed. I think the book is great for a single, young adults, those dating, those engaged, or even newly married. As a happily married couple, we found little use for this book in our own marriage. I would not recommend this book to happily married couples, but I would recommend it to those looking to repair or refocus their relationships, as well as singles and young couples looking to strengthen their relationships.

Love Pastor Michael Todd

I haven’t read the entire book as I started to read page after page was already what was spoken when Pastor Mike Todd preached on Relationship Goals, I was waiting for something new something to pop out at me. Hopefully I can get back to it and read the entire book and give you more but I still love the sermon and I continue to go back and feed myself because we are always learning.

Beginners dating book...

After you reading Steve Harvey, Devon franklin, Derrick jaxn and Tony gaskins you will know the difference

Amazing book. Must read.

Pastor Mike is on point. It is so easy to read, so relatable and absolutely groundbreaking. I’m married and have been for 11 years and this was still relevant. I bought one from my little brother who is a youth Pastor and not currently dating yet but during the “waiting on God part”, this is truly helpful. It helps even in relationships in general, with friends and family. This will give you the keys to successful dating, courting, engagement, married and beyond. I have the audio book as well to hear in the car. It’s a must read if you want to win in your relationships. Thank you so much Pastor Mike. So proud of you. From here in California. I will buy whatever book you put out next without hesitation.

Priceless book and timing 💯

Talk about a right on time guide!!! I gotta be honest, open and transparent so y’all can feel the sincerity in this review. I bought the book originally because I love Michael Todd and I really enjoyed the “Relationship Goals” series but I had no idea he’d be all up in my childhood and current life situation. I relate so much to the examples used, it’s scary. I’m newly separated and in the middle of divorce. It seems like the hardest thing to get right now is Godly insight and this book is doing just that and more. It’s challenging me to have a more whole relationship with God, be a better mom, be a better friend to others and become a better friend to myself. I’m seeing the roots of problems from a more logical perspective and more hopeful about me ever experiencing true love. I’m so grateful for this book during this time of my life. Please get a copy for yourself and a loved one. We have to support real content that changes lives!!

60 Pages into it on the FIRST day and I HATE Reading

This book is Life Changing. I’m 18 years old and single and it’s making me see that my season of singleness is to be the greatest thing ever. I got the book today and I’m already 60 pages in it and I HATE reading. This is the first book I have ever read. Pastor Mike says in the chapter “The S-Word”, Singleness is the time for “I” : invest, imagine, and inspire. Invest in what you want to see grow in your life. Imagine what you could be tomorrow if you started today. And inspire others by using everything you have now to make a difference. This is changing on my view of this season. He outlines the principles of life that God has set before us.

If You want to change the course of relationships for the better read this book !!

I purchased this book for my cousin and I! Knowing that relationship goals reloaded was about to start and the book was about to drop , I watched the first series over in preparation for the book! This book is absolutely amazing! From start to finish ! Literally it had me laughing with the "Fred and Willma" to being soooo SHOOK in the chapter about sex. This book is what everyone needs all ages and no matter what season in life they are in. It's raw, real, honest and it's a great way to map out how you should tackle relationships. I really haven't read many books on relationships but to have such an honest book that represents that path God wants us to go is absolutely amazing. To have scriptures and know this isn't just someone saying their opinion on being married but literally walking you through what God wants you to do? I've never seen anything like it! This is a 10/10 highly recommended!

Refreshed and Renewed!!!

I am in a season of singleness! Intentionally strengthening my relationship with God. Wherein I am seeking guidance and clarity especially when it comes to relationships! I have made many mistakes in my past and want to do things differently to prevent heartache and really prepare myself for when the next relationship blossoms. This book has truly helped me redefine my approach and perspective regarding relationships. I am excited to continue to heal and use what Pastor Todd and Pastor Natalie shared in Relationship goals! Thank you!!! God Bless you all!! - Angelika S.

The wedding is easy, it's the marriage that takes work.

An excellent read. Loved the part in each chapter there were titles of songs. I listened to them whole I read. Mister and Misses Todd, you two were made for each other. What a blessing to find love at such a young age and even though there were bumps in the road along your journey, with God's help you made it through to 10 years! Happy Anniversary and may you have many, many more years together filled with fun, love, dates and lots more communication and building of your marriage. People have to know and understand, the wedding is easy, it's the marriage that takes work. Good job!

Didn't even finish

I LOVE Michael Todd's speaking, but this book just didn't do it for me - I didn't even finish it. I feel like he was trying to hard to write a decently long book, so it felt incredibly repetitive. About half way through, I feel like he was still on the same topic talking in circles.

Chapters 8 & 9 ALONE are worth the buy...

As an author and minister of the gospel, one of the key things I believe every book should showcase is authenticity, a fresh perspective on the Word of God without watering down the gospel and storytelling that is relatable. Pastor Mike Todd does all of the above and then some. As a woman, I've experienced a lot of what he has as it pertains to sexual bondage and I love that we as Christians, are starting to understand how unleashing our full truth can help someone else walk in full freedom. Great book, great perspective, great, great ending.

Great

I must admit, I was looking for more Biblical teachings in this book but it read just like the character that he is when he is preaching. I highlighted a lot of things because Mike was making some valid points and he is always known for his catchy sayings. He did have scriptures in the book but I would like to have had more Biblical aspects throughout and not just a sprinkle. I did like the fact that Natalie was “joined” into the conversation as well. I would recommend this book and would definitely read it again.

Great Read! Another good one to add to the book collection.

Seeing how Pastor Michael Todd lives locally I couldn't find this book anywhere here in Tulsa (haha), but as usual Amazon came through. I personally enjoyed the book. The concept is well explained and references to scripture are made. I did find some parts I had to re-read here and there as Pastor Michael wrote this exactly how he talks, which is fine, it was just different than I was used to when reading books. But I did like the uniqueness behind that as well. Pleased with my purchase and blessed to add this book to my book collection.

Buy it! It's transparent, relatable + enlightening

I'm so excited about reading this book! I'm one chapter in and I already love it. Pastor Mike has an amazing way of being totally transparent and real and it shows in this book. If you are looking for guidance with building healthy relationships, whether it be with your spouse or girlfriend/boyfriend, or simply with a family member, co-worker or bestfriend - this book is for you! I am following along with the Relationship Goals Reloaded series on Sundays on YouTube as well. (I still have to watch the first series they did a couple of years back!)

✨✨The best recipe manual 📖 to cook up a life full of abundance and fulfilling relationships!! ✨✨

Light bulbs💡 when off in my head, helping me put the puzzle together! I am only in the first chapter of the book, but Relationship Goals has already brought clarity and is connecting the dots to things I have been struggling with in my relationships. I instinctively have the intentions to be the best person I can for myself and others. I was self sabotaging myself due to lacking the proper guidance that I’ve been searching for. Hitting a low level in my life, a lot of my relationships have been destroyed due to lack of knowledge. We all know what we want out of a relationship but seem to fall short and miscommunication then shatters our true intentions. The book is a reminder of God’s natural law and the purpose he planned over my life. It’s a manual on how to use his word to navigate and win in relationships. If your like me and you love your family and friends, but deep down inside you want more then what they can help you with. Turn back to God, grab this book, read and listen with faith!!! You will know how to move forward and get back to living an abundant life. This book is for everyone in any relationship situation that has a plan but need the step by outline on how to get to the goal. Relationship Goals is a easy to read recipe book! It has a hint of relatability to millennials, dash of scripture references, and cup full of Pastor Michael Todd’s advice and humor. Thank you for the perfect recipe manual to help get me back on track to trusting God and walking in my purpose!

Must Read if you want successful relationships

This book is a must read if you want to have successful and blessed relationships. Michael Todd keeps it real and he keeps it relevant. I think the book is especially good for young adults to help them BEFORE they start making lifelong relationship decisions. AND it is great for married couples as well. No matter where you are in your relationship journey, this book can help you aim at some stable and real #relationshipgoals. My favorite take away from the book was “there is no condom for your heart.” Thanks Pastor Mike for sharing the truth and pointing the readers to Jesus!

Get ready!

In this book Pastor Mike tells you how it is. Growing up in a Christian home and Christian School I never ever heard anything close to what he talks about. Things that I know God would need people to hear. Thank you Pastor Mike, as a kid from an abusive household, one divorce and other relationships on the rocks it the medicine the Lord prescribed! I say get ready because he GIVES you a lot of good lessons and tools for life but YOU have to WORK for your purpose God has!🙏🏼🙌🏼✝️💜 Amazing read, if you aren’t a normal reader I suggest colorful highlighters to help keep you focused. Mine already has A TON of highlighter marks and I’m only 50 pages in.

Must read for everyone

This is an excellent book, a must read for every person. Pastor Mike breaks down practical advice in an easy to read, yet convicting way. Every person can learn something to help them win in relationships. Highly recommended.

A good book and an easy read 🙂

I have high lights all up and through this book and I hear Pastor Mike in my head as I read, lol. He is so animated, 😂. This is a good book and an easy read. Wish I had something like this about 15 years ago, l could have put an end to a couple of bad relationships. Chapter 4 Intentional Dating p. 67 “ When you date too long, you are putting yourself in a position to sit down in a place that was supposed to just be transportation. “ 👀🤷🏽♀️ When I read that I had a flash back and thought about the time I could have saved. I was sitting for waaaay to long. I’m on chapter 5 now and can’t wait to read the advice you continue to give to married couples.

Definitely a Good Read

HIGHLY RECOMMEND I have to say this book has really given me the tools that I’ve been searching for a long time. This gives you real life tools and I believe that no matter where you are in life, it can speak to you. I’ve continued to be encouraged and make sure that my life aligns not only with Gods promises, but so I can ultimately win with any relationship I have, romantically or otherwise. I’ve struggled to understand why my relationships haven’t been the greatest and this book not only gave me insight but real life applications that I can do. Thank you.

This Book Will Burn Soul Ties and Save You a Lot of Drama

Relationship Goals is a candle. An ignited wick of conviction on your neck. It’s a flame burning sheets and incinerating soul ties. The flame is no respecter of persons – you feel the heat whether you’re single, dating, or married. Red fragrance throws your face to the floor in repentance. Your illuminated journey ends or instead begins, in a bed of hot wax. Should you choose, you’ll graze your finger through the wax, and refuse to go back to the darkness ever again.

Couldn’t Put it Down

From the onset I began reading expecting God to provide answers to some questions I have asked. This book is a clear illustration that He not only hears me when I pray, but He was yet answering when Pastor Mike began fulfilling his purpose in writing this book!!The wisdom and knowledge is Spirit led and God approved. A true game changer and paradigm shifter for anyone in need understanding relationship goals and more importantly pursuing God first. Be ready to receive and even more ready to surrender and obey—God’s way leads to life more abundantly!

Relationship conversation starter

This book is a good beginning for those who may feel as though their current relationship or relationship history is not pleasing to God. Pastor Michael breaks down the basics of godly relationships and helps to shift your relationship goals to align with the word of God. I recommend everyone read this book along with watching the Relationship Goals series on Transformation Church.

This is a must buy

The only dislike is this boo is NOT long enough. Pastor Michael Todd is truly blessed from God. I have been a member TC Nation for 3 years and I have been blessed beyond measures from this church. Humble open and transparent is the way to be so us Christians can relate. I purchased this book and the study guide. Please people don’t hesitate to buy this book and the study guide. Also make sure you find transformation church on YouTube. You won’t be disappointed

MUST HAVE!

You will not be disappointed in readying this book ! It is SO helpful and provides such a clear insight on how to win in relationships whether it is with family, friends, significant others or business partners/coworkers. My daughter (who is in her mid twenties) has been reading this book and she is obsessed! It’s is amazing how much she is learning & applying Pastor Mike’s principles and teaching to her day-to-day life. This book is transforming and I highly recommend it.

A MUST BUT‼️

🗣🗣🗣 LISTEN HERE...... This book, this book right here is a MUST BUY!!!! Idc what you reading or where you at in life. If you believe in God and struggle in relationships.. not just spousal relationships, but relationships on the job, with your parents, your siblings, cousins, uncle.. any one!! Buy this book!! ‼️‼️‼️‼️ 

Pick. This. Up. Now!

If your sleep, wake up! This book...changed my way of thinking. Relationship Goals should be one of your goals to read because baby...it’s good. The first and most important relationship we need to have is with God. This book made me rethink my priorities of which relationships held more value in my life. Pastor Michael Todd did his thing with extracting the Gospel from the ultimate book(The Bible) to this one. I wish I had had this book when I was a teenager, because this is the ultimate guide to all your relationship goals. If it’s family, friendships, partnerships and marriage, doesn’t matter. Don’t hesitate to get this book, you will be missing out. Pssss...by the way..Pastor Mike is also currently doing a series based off this book right now! Relationship Goals Reloaded, check it out on YouTube!

You won’t regret it!

This book is definitely a MUST Read. I strongly recommend that perspective buyers purchase it! It’s not only for singles, but it helps you better understand how other relationships function as well. One thing that led me to purchase the book is Pastor Michael Todd’s ability to be personable and transparent all at once. I love how he conveys things, the way he teaches is very effective.

Get. This. BOOK.

We should work on progression NOT perfection. I’m not sure if you’re single, dating, married, divorced, or don’t care about any of it this is a book for EVERYONE. Michael Todd does an INCREDIBLE job of speaking the truth in this book about how to be successful in your relationships with God at the forefront. I was first introduced to “Relationship Goals” through the Transformation Church podcast. Naturally I felt so strongly about the message I IMMEDIATELY bought the book! Since then it has inspired me, made me want to be better in my own relationship, and help those people in my life with their relationships. Through Pastor Mike’s word, writings, and teachings we can help ourselves and others to be the best, with God’s help, in our relationships. Buy this book, read this book, and keep this book because we all could use some guidance in helping ourselves and others become #RelationshipGoals.

I was ready to win!!-Transformation Nation Stand Up!!

When I tell you this book exceeded my expectations!! I am truly thankful for this man of God and his ministry. I am blessed my the ministry and the example that Pastor Mike, his family and other leaders of TC live. This book is helping me to win in the relationships with my family and friends. I just had to gift 3 people with the book because I want everyone else who wants to win in relationships-to win too! God, please keep your hand and covering over the man of God, his family, ministry and leaders.

What a read!

I was introduced to Pastor Todd’s sermons about 2 years ago and I love the way he shares God’s message. I bought the book for that reason alone. I am so impressed! The knowledge in this book can do so much more than just point you in the direction of a spouse. As someone who married young and has been married almost 9 years it reminded me how important it is to intentionally date your spouse. I also learned so much about relationships in general. But most of all Pastor Todd encourages you to build and strengthen your ultimate relationship with God! Relationship Goals is a must read! Pastor Todd thank you for sharing and may God continue to bless you and your family.

Gems, gems and more gems

This book was amazing! Relationship goals was one of my favorite series of Pastor Todd’s, so I was beyond excited for this release. So many gems for someone like me who is single and looking for meaningful relationships. The study guide helped me answer some questions I never thought about in regards to relationships! pastor Todd has definitely restored my relationship with god and this book has helped me realize what I want in a relationship!

Amazing!!

This book has become my FAVORITE book to date. I love it. If you know anything about Pastor Mike Todd, you know that he is real and raw with you! And he is the SAME way in this book. He and his wife, Natalie, give so much great advice for people of all ages and people who are in different seasons of their lives! He truly hits every hard topic about relationships!! And it’s all from the Word of God. Straight biblical references! I cannot speak highly enough about this book!! You NEED this book in your life!

NO NEED TO HESITATE ABOUT GETTING THIS BOOK

NO NEED TO HESITATE ABOUT GETTING THIS BOOK! It is AMAZING! This book is life changing and transforming! And how ironic that his church is called “Transformation Church” (lol) But seriously, 10/10 recommend! And while you wait for it to ship, head on over and watch Relationship Goals the series on YouTube! As a young lady, the advice given within the series that has now been written into a book, has helped me see who and what God wants and has for me. I am now in a successful relationship with someone that is saved like I am. We are growing and striving in God and are being an example of how to stay saved and date. Even at the age of 20 and 22, God has a plan and purpose for our relationship and He has one for you too! Even if you are single, this book is for you! Whatever your relationship status is, allow God to speak to you through this book!

I wanted the book to go deeper.

Overall the book was ok. I was expecting a little more based on the title alone. I feel like some of the topics were repeated more than once and stuck to the surface level. I wanted the book to go deeper. It never struck a nerve with me when I read the book. I feel like I still think and feel the same as I did before reading it.

You MUST own this book....MUST

You all don't even understand how this series has blessed my life! I have watched the series on Youtube, downloaded it on Audible AND purchased the hard copy. This series is so important, I don't care WHO YOU ARE! Pastor Mike shows you how you can take the most horrific past circumstances in dating and turn it all around and do things the right way. God's way! I

This book is a must read!

I used to only ready in school when I was forced to. I decided to give this book a try after seeing it all over tiktok. It only took me about a week to read it only because I like taking notes when I read. After finishing this book I find myself wanting to read all the time. Working on reading Lecraes book now.

MUST READ!!!!

Honestly one of the greatest books I’ve ever read. I read it with my significant other and it made us think of things and ask questions that we never thought about, which in turn helped strengthen our relationship. I can easily put this in the category of a must need to read book for everyone, whether you’re single or not. There’s something in there for everyone. The only reason I’m giving it 5 stars is because it’s not possible to give it a higher rating that I know of.

YOU NEED THIS BOOK! IT SHOULD NOT BE A WANT! WANT > NEED

SO LET ME START BY SAYING "THANK YOU" PASTOR MIKE TODD ! YOU ARE A BLESSING FROM THE HEAVENS. . THIS BOOK IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST THING I HAVE INVEST MY MONEY INTO! NOT ONLY HAS THE SERMON + RG SERIES ON YOUTUBE BROUGHT ME CLOSER TO GOD BUT THIS BOOK IS GOING TO CHANGE & IMPACT MORE OF ME THAT WAS LOST!!

PASTOR MIKE TODD THANK YOU FOR YOU, YOUR WIFE & YOUR FAMILY!!! YOU ARE AMAZING :) YA'LL GO GET RELATIONSHIP GOALS!!

Must read!!

I love everything about this book. He makes everything so relatable and easy to follow. What I love and admire most about him is his transparency. Oh, and it doesn’t hurt that he’s hilarious lol. I’m inspired to work on strengthening existing relationships and step out of my comfort zone and make new healthy ones, where God is central.

Just get the book!!!

As a card carrying member of TransformationNation (ha!), I watched the “Relationship Goals” sermon series...and let me just say this book is an INSANE follow up!!!!! I went through every emotion while reading this book. When Pastor Mike says “everyone can benefit from it,” he meant it. I’m one of the “happily single” peeps and this book still blessed me. I read the ENTIRE book in less than a day. It’s an easy read, but it’s full of solid, practical WISDOM....and it’s rooted in scripture! You can’t beat that! I had the book just laying around and now my 17 year old brother and his friends are reading the book together. Let me tell you, God is using this book to revive and restore how we look at relationships. It’s beautiful! Get it! HIGHLY-HIGHLY recommended!

Michael Todd is Spot On in His New Book: Relationship Goals!

Todd is an author who knows what he is talking about. He writes from a wealth of experience and the riches of God's truth in His Word. I think every single person considering marriage and every married person should get this book and read it with their significant other. I found it HIGHLY enjoyable, educational and enlightening! TWO THUMBS UP!!

This is H.O.T.

I watch Pastor Mike Todd every Sunday via YouTube on the Transformation Church Live Broadcast. I've seen all of the sermons related to this book, the original and Reloaded. It is a great book for all relationships in your life friendships, intimate and family. I'm about to start reading again and working through the study guide. Pastor Mike is HOT (Humble.Open.Transparent) with his life experiences and doesn't want you to make the same mistakes and/or understand how to turn it around. His tone and fervor for you to be your own Relationship Goals is clear. It was an easy read not too preachy yet you understand the he is a Man of God. Thank you Pastor Todd and Natalie for a great book.

Amazing author/pastor/father/husband/etc.

I have been listening to Pastor Michael Todd for a couple years now. He is so relatable and I always feel refreshed after listening to his sermons. This is a perfectly worded book whether in a relationship, single, married, or just in general relationships with friends, family, whoever! Highly recommend this book and his sermons at Transformation Church!

Lifechanging Biblical Advice

Before reading Pastor Todd's book I've had the opportunity to listen to his relationship goals series. This book only adds to and exemplifies the extraordinary wisdom and counsel that Pastor Todd first experienced, learned from and is now using to disciple others to win in every relationship. Simply out this is a must have that will forever shape and change the way we view and live out our relationship journey. Thank you Pastor Micheal and Natalie Todd for the blessing of this book, and for giving me new hope in restoration and purpose for current and future relationships. God Bless

The Book is Good but it is the same as the YouTube Sermon

The book is basically the sermon which is free to watch on YouTube. I don’t think it is essential to watch and read both. I would just pick one I liked best and do that.

Wasn’t all bad

I brought this book because I listened to the sermons. I was excited to dive in with the hopes that the book expound upon his sermons. However as a 28 year old female I was unimpressed. Although I got some gems and did some minor reflective work, this book did not do it for me. It did not meet my expectations of relationships in the 21st century. How to handle certain situations, aside from (God is watching) which is cool for some but for others that approach is off putting and may feel judgmental. (Some call it conviction). The book felt as though it was meant for teenagers and not adults who are either actively dating etc.

A Great God-Centered Read🎯

This book is a game changer. Relationships shape our lives and we have to be equipped to make good decisions to ensure that they enrich our lives and we can add value to the lives of others. This book provides an authentic perspective with Bible centered values. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to win in relationships. Thank you Mike Todd!!

You can win in Relationships!!

This book is a must-buy period!! The main takeaway for me was that if your relationship with God isnt where it should be then none of your other relationships will be successful. We must have relationship with God first, that makes everything else flow!! God first lifestyle produces great benefits in our lives!!

An easy read, very insightful

Love Michael Todd, his transparency and commitment to leading a Christian Life. Transformation Church The book seems authentically written by him, rather than by a professional writer. If you've seen the sermon series, then there isn't much new in the book side from some examples.

Get. This. Book.

I’m getting married in July of this year and I figure start reading all the books. Starting with this one. My goodness! This was super biblical, practical, and raw as I read Pastor Mike share his testimony and his wife, Natalie share redemption by the work of Jesus. This book is for anybody in any season, single as a Pringle or married for over 25 years. The power of the gospel is highlighted throughout the book int he context of relationships and redemption from horrid past’s. This is something our culture needs. Stop wasting time by reading every review (thanks for reading mine if you made it this far), and get the book. You won’t be sorry!

Read it and trust God.

Me and my two best friends are starting us a book club since we stay in different areas and cant see each other right now. But we are going to do zoom and meet and talk about this book. We ready Pastor Todd's Relationship Goal devotional in the bible app and it was the bomb. Pastor Mike Todd is a great pastor. We watch him online sometimes also, so we had to support him and ourselves of course and buy the book. I'll keep you posted on how the book and study guide is.

A God-centered relationship road map

This book is a God-centered way to navigate through relationships and life. Pastor Mike Todd has taken his incredible motivational speaking talents and put it on paper to deliver an important message to humanity: How to WIN in your relationships! This book and message will change your life if you let it. Don’t hesitate! Buy this book, or check it out at the library. Either way, find a way to read it. You’ll be glad you did.

A Great Read

My boyfriend and I read this book together and we learned so much not only about each other but ourselves in the process. Yes, there is a YouTube series and yes alot of what was said in the book was apart of the series however, there were parts of the book that werent mentioned in the series. I recommend reading the chapters prior to watching the YpuTube series simply because it brings it all together. It also brings the book to life.

A Must Read!

Love this book! As soon as I received it I began reading it and didn’t stop until after Chapter 4. I recommend this book to everyone in or out of a relationship to buy it. It is a good read! Thanks Pastor Mike Todd for writing this book, it will help many relationships grow and equip people for their next relationship romantic or otherwise.

Must read, get the workbook

Great book that really emphasizes Kingdom relationship first and foremost with God and taking aim doing relationships with purpose what's a goal in mind. Michael Todd is a phenomenal pastor and very relatable down-to-earth author in chapter 1 actually quotes Drake LOL. I love Transformation Church and this book and workbook are a must for this new generation

Only God can satisfy us!

First of all i wanna Thank the Lord for using a man like Pastor Mike. This book will help us all how to win Relationship Goals in God’s ways and perspectives. I’ve been with past relationships that is really toxic it is because i did it on my own ways and never asked God to be in middle of my relationship. But now God has been teaching me how to wait and focus in his presence. Being single right now doesn’t make me feel alone, i am totally enjoying it because i can focus more to Him(my God). Giving more time in his words is more satisfying than wasting time with random guys(Facts!)... I am ready to submit everything to God and wait for the time til He gives me the right one for me🙏🏻 To God Be the Glory!!!!

Loved it!

My favorite quote "your words are either building up the person you want to be married to or they are tearing down the person you have to be married to." An excellent book that helps you understand the God-given meaning of marriage and relationships that doesn't always get addressed.

A Must Read!!

I found Pastor Mike after I watched a video of his Relationship Goals sermon on Facebook. I am SO thankful I watched that video. My husband and I integrated the sermon series into our premarital counseling and were so blessed by it. Needless to say, when I found out there was a book I didn’t hesitate to preorder it. Now after a few years of marriage.. let’s just say we need a reset! This book released at the perfect time and we’ve been blessed AGAIN! I’m grateful to have this message in writing, where I can constantly reminded myself of the tools on how to win in marriage. Thank you, Pastor Mike, for sharing this word to better others. Much love!

NEVER ENJOYED A RELATIONSHIP BOOK THIS MUCH

Such an amazing book. Easy read, funny, deep and relatable. Wake up call for those who have gone through life without realizing what they truly want out of life. Relationships can be meaningful and fulfilling only if we know how to approach them. This book provides meaningful tools and understanding about uplifting relationships. The ones that we all deserve. I read this book before bed. Gives me inner peace.

FINALLY!!!

I watched the Relationship Goals series about 2 yrs ago and had no idea a book would be written!! Finally someone who speaks so real yet eloquently about how to win in relationships!!! MUST READ FOR YOURSELF!!

I wish I had this book two years ago!

Wow! No matter what stage you are in life this book challenges what you normally think about relationships. I was in a dating deficit that ended in a traumatic break up and wish I had this book during that relationship so I wouldn’t have lost who I was and had to work so hard to build back up. Too many people my age do things in relationships because they think that is the next step or what they are supposed to do. This book puts into perspective the kind of person you need to be to have a successful relationship with everyone in your life. Thank you Michael Todd for providing relatable, challenging, and encouraging words to someone who felt single and stuck.

An Effective Read !

This book truly has blessed me. The way God has used Pastor Todd from the sermon series to know putting it all in a book and added some more juicy GODLY wisdom to put in the book that he didn’t put in the series… WOW! It is so good and insightful and every page is a reminder that God needs to be in the relationship !! I highly recommend this book and buy a GOOD highlighter, a GOOD notebook and a GREAT pen to takes notes because there are some great tools on how to aim at the RIGHT GODLY RELATIONSHIPS !!! Thank you Pastor Todd for obeying what God has positioned you to do.

Excellent book

I was overjoyed to receive this book in the mail on yesterday. Pastor Mike thank you so much for all that you have poured out and put into this book. Its very rare that I get a book and immediately read it in one day but this book is truly one that I want to sit back and enjoy reading. Excellent material and very empowering book that will certainly help me in me my relationships. May God continue to bless you more and more!

Eye-Opening!

My friends and I had watched the series on YouTube and bought the book to study together. Such a good investment! The book ties scripture into the importance of relationships, not just romantic, but everyday relationships too. You see how God has a higher purpose for you and your relationships. I highly recommend it.

🚨

🚨THE BEST GUIDE FOR RELATIONSHIPS IVE EVER READ ‼️

Great Book!

Love this book! Pastor Michael writes in such a down to earth relatable way, and at the same time gets straight to your soul. He brings so much wisdom and insight into relationships period, and even more in depth into dating and marriage. Since I am single, this is a game changer to navigating this whole walk. I would definitely recommend this book to everyone! We all need Pastor Michael's God-given wisdom!

GET THIS BOOK! Listen to the sermon!!!

Lord. Thank God for sight. When you know better , you’ll do better. Took 53 years to have relationships explained to me. Thank you thank you!!!! Knowing Gods purpose for me, I know I’m gonna be great. THANKS MIKE❤️🙏🏽 Get this book!!!!!!!!!!! Watch his sermon! GAME CHANGER!!!!

AMAZING SO FAR! Can’t wait to finish🎯

I’m only on Chapter 2 but this boom makes you want more. I’m sure I’ll be done within about a week— probably less than and I have a 5 year old, an infant and a puppy lol. But may God continue to bless this Maj of God and his beautiful wife and family because he has the goods to be used by God and to impact Many people. This book so far has already released a bunch of gems. A MUST READ!!!

So relatable no matter where you are in life

Just finished this book. I ended up buying a copy for my brother who’s a senior in high school and my brother in law that always ends up in bad relationships before I even finished reading it. I’ve already recommended it to a few people as well. It’s such a great book! Highly recommend

Love this book!

I've been watching Michael Todd for years on YouTube. I watched his video series on Relationship Goals and it really helped me see things from a biblical perspective. This book breaks relationships down and gets to the heart of communication and love! Very good read!

Relationship ended and you’re completely devastated? This is for you!

Half way through this book, my face became drenched in tears. I love reading eye opening books because of the wisdom and knowledge it brings, but for some reason I felt like this book was talking to me. I felt like it already knew my current life situation. I’m only half way through the book, and would definitely recommend to anyone who just ended a relationship, or in search for the right person.

Must Read!

I don’t know anyone who has dated or is currently dating God’s way, so any questions I had no one could fully answer them because they never experienced it.. However THIS BOOK answered every question. It breaks everything down step by step no matter what stage you are in. Any one who is trying to date God’s way needs to read this. I read the entire book in about a week and a half and I’m currently praying that God places someone in my path that I can pass it down to.

You won’t regret reading this book

This is one of those books that can actually change your life! I don’t really read that often but this is one book that made me not want to put it down but also made me want to change how I do Relationships.

Inspired by the Holy Spirit

I love how Pastor Mike Todd is so transparent about topics that the church usually avoids, such as sex. He makes it clear that it is a beautiful thing invented by God. He gives very thoughtful advice on how to have healthy relationship with your spouse by knowing his or her wants and needs. Soooo good. I would buy this book and hand out to everyone, single or married. We need this BREAD from Heaven y’all!

MUST READ!!

This book is amazing!!! No one every taught me about relationships let alone relationship goals. This book teaches you how to do relationships BIBLICALLY!!!! This book teaches you how to date, what expectations to have for our significant other and how to have better habits in relationships.

Such a great book

I loved Pastor Michael Todd’s whole relationship series so I had to get this book, and let me say I’m already almost half way through the book and I LOVE it. Even purchased a few copies and sent them to friends and family members because they need this word. High recommend it!!!

Get the 📚 book

Last year my husband asked what I would like for our anniversary. I responded a trip to Pastor Michael Todd’s church because this man speaks so well. I kept searching for a book and there wasn’t one... Look at God he has a book and I just started it literally I’m on chapter two because work is picking up and I don’t want to have my book ou in front of patients 🤪 I’m off tomorrow so I’m most def finishing this book

UNDOUBTEDLY AMAZING 10/10👏🏽✨

This book is AMAZING! 10/10 recommend! I have been following Pastor Mike for awhile and watched his series of sermons on relationships. When I heard he wrote a book on relationships, I HAD to order it right away. He is so real with what he says and never beats around the bush. He connects relationships to your life and the Bible so we can WIN at relationships. When I read this book, I literally cannot put it down because it’s so good. Don’t hesitate to buy it, just do it! You won’t regret it! Thank you Pastor Mike for your insight and wisdom. You’re truly incredible!!

Quick and easy yet helpful read

Quick and easy reads but with gems, whether heard or unheard prior to reading. Most of it sounds familiar from his series/sermon and I actually read it in his voice oddly lol. The transparency was great, I think my Believers should lead in a similar way, makes it more relatable and creates connection with those single or married.

Game Changer 🙌🏽

This book is a blessing a must read. Super excited to have received my copy . I can’t put it down thank you Pastor Michael Todd!!

Printing Error

The book is all chopped up on the bottom?? Looks like someone took scissors to it.

Transformative

If you have not heard of this pastor. Please look him up. It will transform your life. Really enjoyed the book just as much as the series. He brings a biblical aspect to relationships that I haven’t previously gotten in other churches.

Okay.

A little too childish for me, the writing was just to elementary to take seriously at some points. Some good content though.

Love this book!!

Absolutely love this book! Great and easy read! It’s totally opened my eyes to what a healthy relationship should be like and built on. I’ve recommended this book to so many friends.

such a great read

I have heard nothing but the best about Michael Todd, and have listened to his sermons for a while now. He has done this series over the past few weeks, and I have enjoyed listening. I wanted to get more in depth with this topic, and heard about the book. 10/10

nice

A few of the gotta haves are : Aim, Purpose, Target and Goals. These are the steps that set us up to attaining successful relationships and the title of this review - “Progress, not Perfection”. Todd is certain in addressing the point that the most important relationship to secure is between yourself and God. Until that one is working properly, all others will suffer. He does admit that relationships outside of God are possible but spends the majority of this book showing the biblical principles of relationships.

Road Map to better

This book is the guide to better. Very clear and to the point. As I was reading I could hear Pastor Mike. Pastor Mike is so vivid and passionate about us being and having better. This book is full of life lessons and nuggets to grow on. I have recommended and will continue to recommend this book. TC Nation Rise Up!

Best book I EVER read thus far

This was by far one of the best books I have read. This book ALONE, has helped me so much. Even though it’s a relationship book, it has key points for you to use for yourself. Michael Todd did what needed to be DONE when he wrote this book. & his podcast for Relationship Goals are even BETTER! I recommended this book to so many people & everyone went & got it right away. 10/10 & I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend.

Good read!

It took a little bit for me to get into it! But once I did I was pleased! I’m a single woman but I gained insight for current relationships with family and friends . I gained advice for bettering myself for my future and my future relationships. I was not disappointed!

A must read!!!! Get it now!

This book is based off Michael Todd's sermon on relationship goals. It has transformed my whole view and goals of relationships. I read the advanced copy and read it again when the hard copy came in. I will use these tools not only for my personal life but also to give to my child when she is of dating age so it can help guide her make good choices and why they should be made and what happens when we don't make the right ones, or being aroind people we shouldnt be who hold us back from our purpose! Buy one for yourself and all your friends and family!

Need to READ!!

I read this book a few weeks back (got the pre-order edition). It's definitely a must read for any stage of life. My favorite thing about the book is its "replay" value. It's a book you need to keep around and revisit certain chapters as you navigate different seasons of your life and also just as a reminder on certain points that I think are easy to forget or get complacent in. Great book, highly recommend.

An amazing tool!

This book will teach you how to win in relationships. It provides practical wisdom on how to approach relationships whether your single, dating, or married. Pastor Mike Todd shares some of his past failures, how he and his now wife overcame their struggles, others’ stories, and more. This book is so worth the read. It will definitely help you to evolve in life and seek to progress (attainable) rather than seeking perfection (unattainable).

Put this on your 2020 reading list!

What can I say about this book? If you have any questions about how to begin, progress through or just understand your relationship this book is for you!!! In fact this book is for everyone. Excellent read do yourself a favor and buy it.

A great read

Buy this book it's amazing! It opens your eyes to what's really important in relationships. Whatever your status may be; single, widowed, divorced, married, etc., it's covered in here. A great read, please get it you won't be disappointed but enlightened.

Love it!

Fantastic! Reading this book is easy, fun and so relatable! I love how raw it is even though my younger Mormon self would have really struggled with it. Today I am just a mom To 7 girls looking for a God for the daughters. I find the relationship advice incredibly useful for me and my daughters. Thank you Michael Todd!

A BLESSING IN BOOK FORM!

If you’re looking for a practical book that God himself breathed on, this is it! Pastor Mike has a way of simplifying the Word of God to connect with today’s time. It is so well written, you can read this book over and over again. You HAVE to have this book in your collection. God bless this man of God for his courage and knowledge to spread the word of God and helping us learn how to win at relationships!! Blessings~

YOU NEED THIS BOOK

This book has been so amazing- life changing and extremely well written. Let me just say that I never enjoyed reading, but through the Holy Spirit my eyes have been opened to how I can change my relationships to honor God!! I never want to put it down!! This book is amazing and I would highly recommend it to anyone no matter your relationship status!!!

You won’t be disappointed

It’s real so easy to understand I’m enjoying every minute I can’t put it down .... so easy to understand I see my mistakes and I am learning from them what to do how to b the best I can b in a relationship... I’m learning

Great Book

If you need to find some things out about “SELF” this would be the book. I have really enjoyed reading this book so I am getting the study guide now to reread the book and do it together .

Much needed

I was gifted this book by a good friend and didn’t put it down. This book was right on time for me and has some invaluable lessons and knowledge. This book is for everyone. Buy it. You will not be disappointed.

It's time to win

This book is a game changer. Pastor Mike Todd is an excellent communicator. The way he breaks down different areas of relationships and ways to win is so practical, applicable, and easy to understand. These conversations need to start happening. People need to learn the right way to be in relationship with one another and no better way to learn than from the Creator of relationship. Thank you Pastor Mike for being real, speaking truth, and equipping us to win.

Relationship Manual - God’s Way

This book provides great points on how to win in relationships no matter what stage in the relationship process you’re in. There are many realistic examples that everyone can relate to that are used to illustrate the main points. In addition, there are great principles shared in the book that are key to developing and maintaining healthy relationships. All this is accomplished through a real, relatable, authentic, and most importantly a Godly perspective. Thank you Michael Todd for Relationship Goals.

Great read!

Love Pastor Mike’s book and his fundamental teachings on relationships!! ❤️❤️❤️

Loved it

Seems like most of his Relationship Goals series was transcribed from his YouTube channel but it’s all great information and an awesome point of reference I’m happy I’ve invested in.

Great book

Great book. Teaching us the Christian way to date yet keeping it H.o. t. ( Humble, open, and transparent.)

A Must Read!!

Wonderful book for so many reasons centering on relationships and what keeps them healthy! My husband and I read outloud each chapter and then spent quality time discussing the goals and how it related to our marriage! Highly recommend! Keri C.

LIFE CHANGING

I’m literally shocked by how mind blowing & life changing this book was! Growing up, Disney movies and dysfunctional romance movies have built my perception on what love, relationships and marriage should look like. And I’m so entirely thankful that God has used this man of God, his wife and others to help break all of those false ideas, while also giving me the real deal (biblical truth). I can tell that this has made a permanent impact on my life because of the information given. Thank you!!

It produces fruit, I promise.

Man. This book shook up my life exactly how I believe God intended to shake it up. I’ve been struggling with relationships for awhile and struggling to view my singleness as a blessing. Michael and his wife Natalie truly created a book based off scripture and so understanding that it spoke to depths of my soul that have been turned off from hearing the truth for far too long. Anyone who is struggling in any relationship, I suggest this book. I’m thankful this book has helped me hit the reset button and seek God above anything/anyone else.

Amazing! 🔥

Y’all!!! Pastor Mike is a true vessel of God!! This book so far is aaaaamazing! Don’t be fooled by the title because this is for everyone, concerning ALL relationships! Invest in yourself, your understanding and your relationships! Pastor Mike is one of my favorite pastor’s~ I wish I lived in Oklahoma but am so grateful for his ability to reach us through this book, social media, And YouTube!! ❤️ Get your copy!!

Life Changing!🔥🙌🏾

Honestly this series literally changed my life in regards to relationships. I was tired of doing relationships wrong and I was even more tired of getting relationship advice from people whose relationships looked like mine; a hot mess! Pastor Mike gives biblical principles about what Jesus says about relationships (I literally can’t argue with that lol)!! And that fact really put things in perspective for me and how I can do better in my relationships. Thank you Pastor Mike for being transparent and obedient to the call of God. 🙏🏾♥️

MUST READ BOOK!!! GO AND ORDER IT!!!

This is definitely a must read book for everyone. No matter where you are in life, whether you’re single, dating, engaged, married, or divorced. It briefly touches on every topic and God’s purpose for your life. I found the examples transparent and relatable. Also I like the book incorporated “The 5 Love Languages” by Gary Chapman several times and its importance. I’m looking forward to being intentional by building best relationship God has for me! Overall, it is a great and easy read that you will enjoy!

Win Win Win

This book by Michael Todd has been transformational for me. It has allowed me to gain a new way of thinking when it comes to relationships. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn how to have better relationships with friends, family, and significant others. This book will give you the gameplan to win!

Great preacher

I've listened to all the sermons thus far & I am so excited to read the book along with the study guide. If the book is anything like the sermons I know this will be a blessing.

Must read

This book is a must read. It's an easy read that offers some real life information on how to win at relationships. Pastor Mike makes the information plain and relatable. Please read it!

God is using Pastor Mike in ways that will impact generation after generation!

God is truly using Pastor Mike to help strength relationships. Being a dadless (earthly) daughter was hard and not seeing a healthy relationship growing up set me up for some heartache. But after watching the original series I was changed and now I am in a Christ centered marriage to a man that loves to pray for me. Praise God for that! He didn't look like anything that was on my list (Rip up that list!) but God knew best. I pray this book and the series will touch more and more lives.

I laughed and cried!

I have laughed and cried reading this book. It’s opening my eyes to things that I’ve done or can do to improve all my relationships. Not just in dating but with friendships as well. Coming out of a six year relationship, this book is exactly what I needed. To say I have NEW Relationship Goals, is an understatement. Thank you for writing this book Pastor Michael Todd. It’s worth reading and studying, again!

Very helpful and informational

I loved that he went into detail about soul ties and from a biblical perspective. I didn’t know much about it until now. I would recommend this book to everyone, especially college age adults. He touched base on many relationship issues and explained how to remedy them. Some books will give you the problem but not help with the solution. This book does not do that. It is transparent about the problems of relationships but expresses how to resolve them in a way that is easy to understand. Highly recommend!

Amazing Read!!!!!

This book was such a blessing!! I recommend it to everyone no matter what stage of life you are in! I will definitely be ordering the study guide and referring back to the book as I continue to walk out my singleness! I will be well prepared when my time comes!! Thanks Pastor Michael and Good Sis Natalie!! Y'all are awesome!!!

BUY. THIS. BOOK!!!!!!!!

I couldn’t put the book down, I would read for hours and not even realize how much time has passed. Cover to cover, amazing book. Game changer. Mike Todd is so down to earth and My bf and I watch his ministry every Sunday together. We truly found our pastor and church. He writes the same way he preaches and it almost feels like he’s kickin it with you putting you on GAME !! If you struggle in relationships, feel lost, need advice or something to give you not only life wisdom but biblical, this is the book for you. Good job Mike 🙏🏼

Life Changing

I was introduced to Pastor Mike in January 2018 when a family member sent me the relationships goals series. I’ve been watching his weekly sermons ever since. He is one of the most effective and impactful teachers/pastors of our time. This book is just an extension of his life changing sermons. Real and practical advice for doing love and relationships on God’s terms.

New HOPE for my Future Relationship...

This book is life changing in so many ways! If your single, dating, married or in a situationship this is the book for you. It’s helps you build your understanding on what God wants for you in a relationship and it gives you the steps to start. I have read many books about relationships but this one kept me engaged feeding my spirit each and every chapter. I would definitely recommend this book to my family, friends and co-workers. Thank you Pastor Todd for such an amazing book! #relationshipgoals

Why?

Why would you NOT get this book? It has insight on how to be a better person to you, your spouse or loved one. This book is universal for any stage in your life. Pick up your copy today you won’t be disappointed.

Save your money

This book is based upon theological principles that prevail, in particular, amongst African American church goers, but it is not biblically based at all. It's a re-hashing of the same principles you hear over and over, without a deep dive into the base of those beliefs and how to apply them in these modern times. It seems very lazy.

Every teacher needs to read

So many times education fails because the teacher does not understand the context. A great read. A great way to understand students that come from a different context.

You have to get this book!

This book is a necessary, realistic and I standing perspective on what it is to navigate relationships today in our fallen culture. It empowers singles, dating couples and married couples to live out loud for Christ and gives some easy to understand and follow guidelines on dating God’s way. I highly recommend this book!

Thankful and excited to pass my copy along!

So relatable for the upcoming generation and beyond! Mike writes in a way that makes you feel like you’re having a conversation together. This isn’t a self help book, but it does help! Thankful and excited to pass my copy along.

God is so good!

I absolutely loved Relationship Goals the youtube series and I couldn't wait for the book to come out!!! I read the pre-sale version in three days! I can't wait to re-read the hardback official version!!!! This book will break down all the ideas you have about relationship goals!!! Start with a relationship with God! Thank you Pastor for being willing to share your experience and keep it real H.O.T with the world!! God bless you and Natalie! Love Mrs. Quadai

A how-to manual for all relationships!

I loved the way he was completely himself in the book. Also, the way he explains seemingly difficult and complicated terms we hear in church so simply. Also, he guides the reader through each stage of relationship using the Word and relatable examples. I thoroughly enjoyed it! Haven't finished a book this quickly in years!😅 I think the book is way more relatable to young adults and teens than adults, but with an open mind towards what he has to say, anyone can learn something.

A biblical way of approaching relationships

I chose this rating because the book was from the heart and it let's us know that single, married, and friendships can all be reached with these goals. I would recommend this book to my friends and family

Ok

It's misleading. I want my connection to God to be MY connection. It's not really digging deep, it's stating the obvious and Bible passages.

Relationship Goals for the win !

Couldn’t put this book down was able to finish during one weekend. Each chapter holds valuable information for all rather you’re single, dating or married. Pastor Michael Todd did not hold back and kept in real! This will be the book you’ll keep coming back too. Glad I purchased !

Buy it

This is an amazing book and would recommend to anyone who is single, dating, married, any sort of relationship. He guides you and shows you biblical truths about what a relationship must have and what it must not have.

#RelationshipGoals Defin?

All I can say is wow. I instantly became hooked on this book. It help me realize so much with my relationship with God and using that towards being a better me and applying that to relationships. I love how he reference songs and qoutes and is very relatable. It's not one of those boring books that's all about God but more so a lil flavor to it. He tackles all Sex, Single , Dating , Marriage and also shares alot about his flaws and his life. I finished this book in 1 week.!! Seriously worth the buy!! Definitely worth the read!!!!!!

Exceptional Book by an Exceptional Man

Exceptional author, exceptional book. Wish I had this book when I was a teenager, already have purchased extra copies for family members. Pastor Mike focuses on a God centered life, God centered relationships, and God centered marriages. It’s a good read no matter what stage of life you are in relationally.

Not my cup of tea

I was looking for more of an in-depth detailing about relationships with true inspiration and ( to me) this book fell short. I would not recommend

A very insightful book!

You will not regret it!

In Love!!

Love this book! I am On my second time reading it because it has so much important information, you can’t just get it all in one read. Even though it’s a small book with only 194 pages, the message is powerful and full of helpful information. And I love how it’s God centered, it’s not telling you steps on how to get and keep a man or a woman. This is about your relationship with God!

5 Stars!

This book came in one day, and then I tried to read it in the same, now I'm at work looking crazy. God thank you for the gift you have given this young man. Don't cheat yourself, treat yourself to this amazing book. DC

Loved every line.

Relationship Goals is a must have for any stage of relationship status, single, married or divorced. Fresh perspective was provided and much needed reminders. Confirmation and affirmation all wrap in 9 Chapters.

Blessed Book!

Everything about Pastor Michael Todd is the best! I started to read and if you’re single or not you should read it. Also he has on YouTube 8 sections about relationships goals!

Believe in life giving love again

Absolutely love this book!! Pastor Mike Todd is doing the work we’ve needed so long in the church. Humble Open Transparent (H.O.T. as he calls it) conversation about relationships. This book is not just for church believer but for life non believers. You’ll will definitely become a believer by the end. If you have given up on relationships with people from romantic to everyday family this book is definitely for you. Don’t forget to catch him on YouTube! I promise it will bless your life!!

MUST BUY!!

doesn't matter what you're looking for in a relationship or even if you're not looking! This book gives good insight and has some very eye opening moments! All my friends are reading this book and even my coworkers family members, you won't regret!!

Why is Pastor Todd all in my business!!

I really enjoyed reading this book! It started out a little slow for me but the further I got into it the further my experience improved. I felt like Pastor Todd was speaking directly to me! I really appreciated how HOT (humble open and transparent) the Pastor and his wife were while writing this book. I now have more tools I can use to win in relationships!

Relationship Goals God’s Way!

Delivery was quick, which was great because I couldn’t wait to read this book. I have been following Pastor Todd since the original Relationship Goals series and this book is the blueprint and tools I needed to do relationships biblically. As I made up my mind a year ago that God’s way is the only way for me. I have truly enjoyed the book so far and have already recommended to everyone I know that’s looking to WIN in relationships!

WIN IN RELATIONSHIPS!

Such an amazing read! & I hope a lot of people learn something from this book & that they will be able to win in relationships! I watched the relationship goals sermon series on YouTube . So when the book came out I had to buy it& support Pastor Mike!

Brutally honest look at relationships

The more I grow the more I appreciate when an author is just being honest. Relationships are hard. God is stronger and wants you to succeed. This book tackles the relationship topic head on without shame. Puts Jesus in the center and plenty of verses so you know hoe Mike support his arguments. This book should make you want to search the Bible yourself and get closer to God each day, keep focus on what matters most.... Him.

Amazing Book!
