Written in a straightforward, honest manner, What's Up with Boys? gives young women insight into the lives of young men. Today's young women have been raised in an atmosphere that subtly degrades men in many ways: 'They're dumb. They're coarse. They're shallow. They have a one-track mind.' Sometimes they accept other stereotypes that are far less demeaning---even hilarious---but just as misleading. With concrete information about guys that helps young women understand, appreciate, respect, and accept guys as God created them, What's Up with Boys? answers questions such as: * What is the gender gap? * What does the Bible say about males and females---and what is God's purpose for each? * How do biological factors affect boys' behavior, thoughts, and actions? * Why do girls tend to speak thousands of more words a day than guys? * Why do boys sometimes appear to be childish? This book employs biblical wisdom, common sense, humor, frankness, and thousands of surveys and interviews to offer young women a practical handbook on how to cope with guys.

You're gonna wanna read it!,

This review is from: What's Up with Boys?: Everything You Need to Know about Guys (invert) (Paperback)
I read this book and it's helped me a lot. It was so interesting that I read it in one weekend. It's very insightful as to what guys are feeling and how they express themselves. Some girls think guys are emotionless, insensitive THINGS. Some may be, but most just have a different way of expressing their feelings. I would recommend this book to any teenage girl! It's helped me so much; I treat my dad, my brother, my guy friends, and even my boss differently now. And it's caused some pretty positive results!

This review is from: What's Up with Boys?: Everything You Need to Know about Guys (invert) (Paperback)
Crystal's small-town perspective is so helpful and sincere! Even we city folk can identify with her observations.
Her position as a loving mother (of boys) and youth activity leader gives her an insight like no other. Modern scientific research on brain develpment reinforces what she's learned from her many years of experience. Plus it's all just so darn cute! I think every young woman/girl can identify with the photo on the cover at some point in their life. Wish I'd read this book 30 years ago! A great starting point for cross-gender communication and understanding, especially for young people!
