enlightened reader

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.

Very important read for all teenage girls!

This author of this book knows just how to "talk" to teenagers. I read the book before giving it to my 14 year old daughter and was very impressed with his writing style. The small amount of references to biblical versus was just enough to remind me (and my daughter) how loved we are. That we have so much love from God that we do not need to "seek" love or approval from others. Being ourselves is good enough. The person who loves us for who we are, not for who we "try" to be is our match. The confidence that this book instills in the reader that they are already loved and are a treasure is wonderful! I recommend for all teenage girls!

Very helpful for young women

My daughter really loves this book! She found it to be very helpful in understanding the male brain and how they think about girls. It made her think about how she was presenting herself in front of guys and what changes she needed to make in order to present herself in order to receive more respect from guys. She wasn't behaving badly, but with our current culture our young women are constantly bombarded with the wrong message, and this book was great to help her see how guys really are and how she needed to change some things so that further interactions will be more positive and less painful. I am hoping that these insights will save her from making the common mistakes that current culture deems normal and OK.

All of the answers you need

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.

Clear, insightful, AND fun!

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.
