Welcome. In her recent book, Dr. Velma took the approach of Jesus, who is a master storyteller with more than fifty parables/fiction stories. She loves the way Jesus’ stories allowed the listener to see themselves in the stories, see the way out, and it was their choice to change in the end. His stories were non-threatening and never preachy. This led to a book where she uses fish characters to show the behaviors of the wrong men women dated. Dr. Velma found Christian contemporary fiction a genre perfect for sharing Christian dating for marriage principles. She used this model in her CATCH Series, which is full of dating mistakes but provides answers with biblical principles. The stories will bless singles, as well as married couples looking to reset.
In books one and two, The CATCH No One Wants and The WRONG CATCH, she uses analogies to show the dating mistakes women make. The fish are the characters include - the catfish who loves garbage, the sturgeon who likes to nibble, the salmon who refuses to get caught, and the pufferfish who is handsome until agitated and puffs up 3X his size. The book garnered rave responses from book promoters, podcasters, and readers who saw themselves in the stories and asked for more fish analogies. Soon, book two in the series was published.
Book 3 is in response to her male readers who asked her to address the wrong women Christian men date. After surveying a few of her male followers about the difficulties they’ve experienced in godly dating, The WRONG CATCH – She’ll Tear Down the House characters came to life. The title is based on the woman described in Proverbs 14:1b. Again, using analogies, the characters are insects, animals, and even a toy. As with the first two books, this third book does not disappoint. Dr. Velma ensures that both men and women can discover nuggets they can use in their dating lives and the biblical principles she uses.
Book 4 is the first Christian nonfiction in the CATCH Series, entitled The Book of Fools.
