If so, you're not alone. But help is on the way! With tongue-in-cheek, laugh-out-loud humor, author Chris Fabry offers you a bounty of helpful, hilarious insights into the "secrets" of male behavior. Do you wonder why your man acts the way he does? Do you yearn for practical tips to help you build an even more satisfying relationship with him?

"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."
