This book is for two types of people: women who understand their man and women who think they understand their man! It's fabulously hilarious! Not only that, but it is also written by a man with no hesitations on identifying his own species and what they are all about. Fabry gives women (and men) insight on men's feelings, thoughts, what they mean, and why they do the things they do; and he does this with humorous intelligence. Men are not clueless jerks, they are merely different then women, and we need to understand this and simply love them for who they are. Get this book! You'll definitely laugh... and maybe even together!

I just finished reading "The H.I.M. Book" for the fifth time and laughed all over again at this delightful "instruction manual" for understanding men. Chris Fabry is known for his dry wit, and it is certainly in evidence here. When he writes that the husband tells his wife, "You just have to understand we're wired differently," and explains that the translation is: "I forgot your birthday again. Blame my genes," he is not REALLY saying that women just need to put up with men's shortcomings! It is all tongue-in-cheek. And for all the humor, there is enormous tenderness and humility here too: "I don't know why you always have to be so emotional," the husband says to his wife. But what he is really saying is: "I have no idea what to do when you cry." Fabry is showing us a typical male: hates to show feelings, talks a lot about typical "male" subjects with the guys, but has trouble relating to his wife. But, oh, he WANTS to! He really, really wants that deep bond between them and yearns to know how to get there. You'll read "The H.I.M. Book" and chuckle along the way. But much of the insight will keep you thinking for months to come. A wonderful book that will touch your heart while it tickles your funnybone!
