5.0 out of 5 stars
Clear, insightful, AND fun!, September 17, 2006
This review is from: The Truth About Guys (Paperback)
I HIGHLY reccomend this book for anyone who has a child in their teens--guy or girl. Although it is geared toward young females, the insight and subject matter provides a great read for any young person.
Being a father of 3 girls, I try to keep up with what's going on in their lives.
Last weekend my lovely wife Nadine took our 3 teen daughters to a weekend teen-girl conference.
They came back with all kinds of great stories and testimonies about what went on over the weekend. One person's name kept coming up throughout our talks and that name was Chad Eastham. "He just tells it like it is" and "I've never heard it said quite like that," my wife expressed. Madeline, my oldest daughter of 14, said Chad was very helpful in offering a perspective on herself that changed her whole outlook on her self-esteem. Quoting Chad she said "What guys think about me, is up to me."
Having my own practice in family counciling and troubled youth, I was curious to see what was so great about Mr. Eastham so I picked up the book that evening and started reading it myself.
I have to say I was quite surprised--the book was full of fun and relatable stories, pink font, and accurate insight. Chad's work seems to be a culmination of other resources, his own life experience, and the experience of others around him. Thoughtfully written, ANY teen (especially girls) should find this book incredibly resourceful.

A Kid's Review
This review is from: The Truth About Guys (Paperback)
Hey girls! Are you wondering why guys are so confusing? Well in the book The Truth About Guys by Chad Eastham, he reveals everything a girl should know about guys.
In the book The Truth About Guys Chad writes about the differences between girl's and guy's brains. Girl's brains are like spaghetti. They're all interwoven and they can talk about 50 random topics in 1 or 2 sentences. Guy's brains on the other hand are like waffles. Their brains have compartments and their thoughts can't flow. For example, in one compartment may be about his dog. When he thinks about it he will only talk about that one topic, until he stops and remembers another compartment. Chad also talks about how different girls are from guys. For example, girls like to ask guys about their feelings and talk about what they're thinking. Guys would rather not talk about their feelings. They would rather discuss topics along the line of sports, cars, dirt, and fire.
This book is really good for guys as well because they can read it and figure out why girls get mad so easily, and what we are looking for in a guy. This book shares really good tips about dating, communicating, and understanding guys. Find all the answers to all of your questions and know how to have a good and healthy relationship with the opposite gender.

The Truth About Guys
I wish there had been a book like this when I was growing up. Every teenage girl should read this to understand the way boys(and men)think about females - quite eye opening. It brings a Christ-centered way of looking at oneself to bolster girls' self image so that they don't fall for every 'line'a boy may throw their way. It also helps give them the self assurance not to need a guy to feel good about themselves.
