For Men Only Book Review

 A Straightforward Guide to the Inner Lives of Women

SUMMARY:  Finally, you CAN understand her!
     Women:  complicated and impossible to understand?  Have you given up trying to "get" the woman in your life?  If so, you are in for a pleasant eye-opener:  She can be understood.  Even better - you can make her happy.  Which will make you happy.
     The bestselling author of For Women Only teams with her husband to offer men the key to unlocking the mysterious ways of women.  Through Shanti and Jeff Feldhahn's national scientific survey and hundred of interviews, For Men Only reveals what you can do today to improve your relationship.  And believe it or not, as Jeff assures men, "It's not splitting the atom."
     What makes her tick?  What is she really asking (but not actually saying)?  Take the guesswork out of trying to please your wife or girlfriend and begin loving her in the way she needs.  Easily, For Men Only is a straightforward map that will lead you straight into her heart.

REVIEW:  Having previously read Shanti's book For Women Only about men, I was interested in what she and her husband had to say about women.  Women, you NEED to get your husbands/boyfriends to read this book.  I would even go as far to suggest you read it too.  It is awesome and funny!!  Jeff tells it like it is and lays everything out in an easy-to-read manner.  Their research is extensive and their surveys were done by a professional team of analysts.  Even though it is written primarily for men, I learned a lot on why I think the way to do and that I'm not alone.  I would suggest everyone engaged to be married read this book during their pre-marital counseling.  It could save a lot of marriages and couples a lot of grief.

SUMMARY:  This is a great day to be a woman....even when you're trying to balance it all!
     We have amazing choices and opportunities today - opportunities our great-grandmothers could never have imagined.  Yet we also encounter a whole new host of challenges.
    Every woman knows the feeling of struggling to juggle everything, wishing there were more hours in the day.  And every woman has also enjoyed the wonderful opportunities God provides that simply didn't exist a few generations ago.  The trick is knowing how to manage this crazy, modern life.  For those of us who follow Jesus, the challenge is even greater.  How can we live a modern life from a biblical perspective?
    The great new is:  there's a way to do this!  There is a way to be "ready" for life that leads to peace and enjoyment rather than stress and regret.  Within the ancient words of the Bible we can find a road map that applies directly to our lives as contemporary women: an encouraging, life-giving blueprint you can look to for clarity about the unique design, callings, balance, choices, relationships, and direction that God has for you.
    Becoming "Life Ready" involves thinking purposefully about subjects you may never have thought through before.  It involves courageous steps of faith at some points, and waiting for open doors in others.  But the end result will be that you not only survive but thrive in our do-it-all world.  Being a "Life Ready" woman means you are clear about your life, bold in your faith, and able to find God's best for you.  No matter where you are - younger, older; single, married, divorced, remarried; stay-at-home mom or busy executive; no matter your ethnic background or even your personal faith beliefs or questions - you can start today to reach for it.  The Life Ready Woman will guide you there!

REVIEW:  The Life Ready Woman - Thriving in a Do-It-All World lays out easy to follow steps to help you in our crazy busy world.  The first part starts out by laying the foundation using the Old and New Testaments.  Instead of condemning women for trying to be there for their families and doing it all, it shows us what God says in His word about His plans and purposes for us.  The second part gives us strategies for getting God's best for us that are clearly laid out to follow.  Some of it is not easy to do but sometimes necessary if we want to see God impact our lives.  I would recommend this book to any woman wanting help and direction while she is trying to do it all.
