Story Behind the Book

“My teenage daughter really needs to hear this!” Such was the typical reaction from countless men and women who read Shaunti Feldhahn ’s bestselling For Women Only. “If forty-year-old women are surprised by the truth about how men think, we realized the value in helping teenagers discover these realities as well,” says Shaunti. Teaming with her best friend Lisa Rice , a mother of teen girls and the coauthor of For Women Only Discussion Guide, they launched a major national survey of guys fifteen to twenty. Their surprising findings are revealed here to help girls improve their relationships with the opposite sex, now and into the future.

Customer Reviews

Good, but left something out...
I decided it would be entertaining at best if not a little eductaional to see what this book had to say about us guys. To my surprise, ALL OF IT WAS TRUE! As I read it I just kept nodding my head and thinking "Yup, right, I agree there..." I even looked for things to disagree about. It was written as the result of a national survey of over four-hundred young men. It had percentile statistics, and though I may have been in the lower percent on some issues, both sides were presented. No, this is not a stereotype of modern young men, it is simply an accurate portayal of us. I can't say the book would be of any use to guys, (unless you are looking for entertainment) But I would recomend it to any young women who want to figure us out.

That Said...I have one very major problem with this book. It explains the nature of such things as
-the way guys think
-respond to criticism
-are visually stimualted etc...
But in the area of sexual purity, the authors seem to be giving guys a free ticket to sexual sin. They explain how guys are sexually driven, but do not do a very good job of saying they need to fight these urges. They chalk it up to "Guys can't help it, that's how they are, and there's no stopping it", which is nearly what is said! Reading Every young man's battle is much more useful in challenging men to be pure. Of course, it was written for girls, but that factor cannot be ignored.

opens up a closed door
As the mother of a teen girl and two teen boys, this book helped me relate to all three of them because of the insights into how teen guys approach life. Then I gave it to my daughter, and that has helped her understand both her brothers and other guys she knows. I've heard her enthusiastically recommend it to her peers, and she has lent it already to two friends.

Wish I'd read this as a teen
Teen girls need to see themselves through the eyes of the young men they think they're impressing. The reality you present in this book will be a shock to many! It's a quick, easy read, well worth the time, and should be a powerful tool in returning dating to a God-honoring relationship. Thank you, Shaunti!
