As a girl raised in a home without an active father, I had many missing concepts to know what men were basically like, other than the myriad of ridiculous examples I'd seen portrayed in pop culture media during the 1980's.
One day when waiting for our Osteopath to see our baby son Andrew, who ended up getting a prescription for an ear infection, a certain book stood out to me, nearly glowing on the turntable shelf in the sunfilled waiting room of the doctors' office.
Much earlier in my life as a new Christian, I had wrestled with the concepts of having felt like an orphan for so much of my growing-up life. Sure, I lived with a mother, and had a father who doted on me occasionally like a rich Uncle might... but the day-in and day-out realities most people considered normal were not a part of my everyday life. My Mother was eventually diagnosed with severe mental (emotional) illness, which helped me better understand the lacks and pains of that aspect of my life.
What are men like?
This book gave me a great foundation onto which I was able to hold steady, and stand firm during some tumultuous seasons within our marriage. It also helped me as I worked to raise five sons!!!!!
As time allows, I hope to share more what I learned, and how I applied it (and even still recall to mind regularly!).
For now, I leave you with a link to the book, so that in case you are interested, you can take a gander into its contents as well.
