"Cleverly woven through all the humor in The H.I.M. Book (and, girlfriend, I laughed out loud a bunch) are some genuinely helpful tips for handling life with a H.I.M. Best I can tell, it can be summed up in three words: There is hope! . . . Chris Fabry is real in a wonderfully scary way. He's a man's man, a guy's guy . . . who willingly invites us to climb inside not only his head, but his heart as well. I didn't expect to cry when I read The H.I.M. Book, but I did."
— Liz Curtis Higgs, Author and Humorist
