Customer Reviews

Useful for men of any faith

As a Jew, I disagree with the reviewer who said this book is only for Christian men. I found it to be fantastic: extremely helpful and authentic at a tough time. Sure, Conway is a pastor, but I found his advice to be helpful even while skipping over his references to Christian theology. He comes across so sincerely, and in such a non-preachy way, that this book works with or without those references. If you read this book, you will find a friend in Jim Conway, without regard to what religion you practice.

Men in Midlife crisis

Wonderful book. Described my husbands struggle as though it was written by him. Has calmed me by helping me to understand that it is not personal that it is not about me. That this is a male right of passage and it has to run its course. Very practical information that is simply written -- you don't need to be a PHD to understand it.I have friends that I would like to lend the book but can't imagine not having it to read over and over and over again. Companion books "Surviving your husbands midlife crisis written by Jim and his Wife Sarah are also equally wonderful.

From a man in a midlife crisis...

This book clearly described in great detail MY LIFE! It's amazing that others my age have experienced a pretty much predictable series of events, as Conway describes, and to which I can attest to. It makes the midlife crisis and all of the "issues" with it a lot more understandable (though some behavioral aspects are inexcusable). A great read for any man 35 - 50, or interested wives.

Men in Midlife Crisis

This book saved my sanity. It discribed my husband to the "T". I keep it by my bedside and read it often. It gives my hope and a positive outlook on this horrible event in my husband's life. I have read numerous books on this subject, and this is one of the best and most uplifting!!!

Insightful, informative and well written

What a lifeline! A book that gives wonderful insight and direction for understanding and dealing with this painful reality. Also discusses women's midlife stress, and gives you options to dig in and have a truly healthy marriage. In addition, the Christian perspective makes the book even richer,and not by simply applying the band-aid, "God can fix anything." If you might be interested in a closer relationship with God, your husband, and even yourself, consider this book.
