How to Hit a Curve Ball, Grill the Perfect Steak, and Become a Real Man: Learning What Our Fathers Never Taught Us

How to Hit a Curve Ball is a paperback book (Religion/Christian Life/Personal Growth) co-authered by Stephen James and David Thomas; it is published by Tyndale House Publishers, 2008.

The book, overall, is awesome. It is highly recommended. Men everywhere are brothers, sons, fathers, and husbands, or some combination of the four. The relationships that proceed from those roles - or combination of roles - are beyond priceless. Men, we have the God-given ability to positively or negatively influence all of the relationships involved in those roles and all of the relationships proceeding from the people we immediately engage in those roles! That is undoubtedly a heavy, heavy responsibility. We all could use a little help along the way. Perhaps that’s the first lesson all men need to tackle straightaway. This little book is a big step in the right direction.

My rating: 4.0 stars

A Woman’s Guide: Yup. Nope. Maybe.

I finished the Christian Life & Relationship paperbacks authored by the therapist duo aka Stephen James and David Thomas. The companion works are titled “Does This Dress Make Me Look Fat? A Man’s Guide to the Loaded Questions Women Ask” and “Yup.” “Nope.” “Maybe.” A Woman’s Guide to Getting More Out of the Language of Men.

I already offered my thoughts and questions re: “Does This Dress Make Me Look Fat? A Man’s Guide to the Loaded Questions Women Ask.” I appreciated the book, and found it to be both enlightening and entertaining. I would say the same re: “Yup. Nope. Maybe. A Woman’s Guide to Getting More Out of the Language of Men.” It too was an enlightening and entertaining read. The pair are good books, all around. Read More »

A Man’s Guide: Does This Dress Make Me Look Fat?

I recently read through a pair of enlightening and entertaining Christian Life/Relationship paperbacks collaboratively authored by Stephen James and David Thomas. The works are titled “Does This Dress Make Me Look Fat?” and “Yup.” “Nope.” “Maybe.” The former is “A Man’s Guide to the Loaded Questions Women Ask,” the later is “A Woman’s Guide to Getting More Out of the Language of Men.” Fun, educational reads, both of them.

I’ll start with a quick review of “Does This Dress Make Me Look Fat?” A review of “Yup.” “Nope.” “Maybe.” will follow shortly. Read More »
