Customer Reviews

If you are a real man, read this book!

Steven Farmer knows men, and their wounds. He thoroughly describes our deepest wound - the "father wound" - that most men suffer from: an inadequate relationship with their own father, thereby influencing their relationships forever - until healing occurs. "If you have a poor relationship with your father, you cannot relate well to yourself as a man, which means you cannot relate well as a man to a woman." Great book. Insightful. Helpful. Liberating.
