Good Message

It has taken me a while to get through this latest book from BookLook Bloggers, but it is one of the first husband advice books I have gotten through at all.
This book by Doug Fields comes from a series of messages he gave, advice for men on how to be a hero to their wife. The advice is good, though difficult to follow. He did provide some simple steps to help and practical stories and lessons.
The main idea is for men to stop being so selfish and to realize that they must work together with their wives, with one heart. This is obviously more complicated than it seems, so Fields spends the majority of the book offering ways to live that out and explaining what it really means.
The book is full of great ideas and good lessons or reminders about what a husband should strive to be. However, I had a hard time with the delivery of the message. It seems the author tries too hard to be funny or to appeal to a specific type of man.
When I could force myself to read beyond the delivery, I was able to let some real truth sink in. I might recommend this book to others.
Thank you BookLook Bloggers for providing a free copy for review.
