For Men Only


For Men Only: A Straightforward Guide to the Inner Lives of Women was written by Shaunti and Jeff Feldhahn. This book is a book written for men about women. Does it have the silver bullet? Does it provide the reader with all the answers to his questions regarding the woman he loves? NO. However, the authors of the book surveyed thousands of women and multiple focus groups to gather data on how women think. The conclusion is quite simple, women think differently than men and men think differently than women. We are simply wired differently.

Shaunti Feldhahn wrote a best selling book called For Women Only: A Straightforward Guide to the Inner Lives of Men. It was such a hit that Shaunti and her husband, Jeff Feldhahn, were encouraged to write a similar book for men. This book comes from a biblical perspective and the comments, recommendations, and statements are based upon the data collected from the surveys, focus groups, and conversations from women across the nation.

I found the book to be insightful, humorous, and predominantly right on. The author's statements and/or claims were based upon the data he collected. The author wrote as if he was sharing this information with his friends out on the basketball court, over lunch, or simply while talking over the phone. The information was delivered in a straightforward manner with no frills (thank you). It was refreshing to hear an author suggest that the information in their book was not absolut but generalizations had to be made as a result of the data collected. There are always exceptions and there is always the anamoly.

For those of us who are looking for ways to gain insight on how our spouses think and opperate, this book provides some answers and mulitiple ways to improve and build upon our relationship. The book is a quick read, enjoyable read, and practical.

NO AR QUIZ.
