I received a copy of the revised and updated edition of Shaunti Feldhahn's book, For Women Only. I've been to numerous women's events and marriage retreats so I was familiar with the author's name and the line of books she has previously produced, yet I had never read one. I was pleased to find that the information is well researched and is well presented throughout the book. The research is eye-opening and could be extremely beneficial to understanding the men in your life.
The author had opportunities to survey and interview a variety of men to get gut-level, honest answers to the questions that men feel unable to explain in day-to-day conversations. The author writes, "after interviewing and surveying thousands of men, I can tell you the answers to common perplexities are all related to what is going on in your man's inner life. Most are things he wishes you knew but doesn't know how to tell you. In many cases, they're things he has no idea you don't know."
I thought this book offered good insight to the man's perspective and explained the differences between how we are wired to process in various areas of our lives. I have already recommended this book to friends. I would highly suggest it to women in all stages of marriage and I think it could be greatly beneficial to the newly-wed or soon-to-be wed woman.
This book is relatively short, however, I found the information in it to require additional processing time. I have already purchased her book, For Parent's Only, waiting to be read on a rainy day and I have also considered buying her book, "For Men Only" as a gift for my husband.
I received this book from the Blogging for Books program in exchange for this review.
