Even Strong Men Struggle (Christian Softcover Originals)

I sent this to a friend who is currently incarcerated. He was surprised by how quick he received it and he stated the quality of the book was EXCELLENT. He is also enjoying the book, stated that it was a book that was hard to put down.

Not narrated byTD Jakes! and I just cannot hardly listen, unfortunately. You expect to hear Pastor Jakes STRONG voice and yet, there is a wimpy voice...the message just doesn't come through. Too bad. I actually thought I was ordering the video, which would have been great to have him on video reading through his book, perhaps in several sermon like sessions that he does so well.

I think the material in this audio book is amazing.
I have a hard time getting through it because of the actor chosen to read the text.
His voice and affectations are beyond annoying.
I wish careful consideration would be given when it comes to choosing who is to read for the audio book!

I was looking forward to listening to this ministry during my vacation. However much to my surprise, it was not T.D. Jakes voice I heard when I plug in my earphones. The readers monotone voice made the words of T.D. Jakes less inspiring.

I actually did not get through the first few chapters before I just turned it off. I think I have to order the DVD in order to obtain the inspiration I was seeking.

This book clarifies for women how men process situations & their emotions. As women we are allowed to express ourselves emotionally & verbally, whereas men are taught that expressing themselves in the same manner shows signs of weakness. Men are not allowed to show weakness, they are expected to be strong & always in control. They have the same fears & anxieties as we do but because they must give the appearance of strength & control, most men learn from an early age to suppress how they feel...and we all know that in most cases suppression eventually leads to a lack of control, weakness & regret. Reading this book clarified for me why women are from Venus & men are from Mars & that it's actually okay that we are different, as long as we understand & respect those differences. I have been highly recommending this book to all my friends, most definetly worth reading.

This book really touches on alot of subjects that we as Men need to examine within ourselves. It is also a tool that women can use to understand the men in their lives. I was truly blessed by reading this book and I find myself talking to others about some of the subject matter in it. Ironcially I as well as other guys I know are going through or have been through many of the topics in the book.

I love T.D. Jakes, he has such an insight into the lives of people and the things that we as christians need to work on besides just trying to stay saved and sanctified. There are alot of men struggling internally out there and the women in their lives have no clue as to what is going on or how we feel about things. Too often it is stated that men don't understand women, well that saying can also be reversed. In order for us to move on from our past we must understand it, why it happened, how it happened, how to overcome it, etc. This book is a tool for those who really want to understand somethings going on in their lives, or plaguing their past. This book is truly a blessing! Thank you T.D. Jakes

Jakes really digs deep in into the male psyche on this one. I gave this one to my husband, who had all sorts of tabs sticking out as he read it. It is difficult for men to understand some of their emotions, or even understand that it's okay to have them. All that and more is explored in this book. My honey truly enjoyed the book, and I felt good giving him something relating to him that wasn't putting him down.

Real honesty, real answers, a real man! I loved this book and my husband enjoyed even more. This is a real breakthrough book. Even if you don't read a lot, you won't be able to put this one down. There's a king inside waiting to get out of every man, this book unlocks the door.

As a woman listening to this book was enlightening. I found the information to be very helpful in how to handle and care for the emotions of the important men in my life. It has helped me to understand men even more not to dismiss their subtle yet profound need for unconditional love and understanding. It's was a great read!

i wish this book had come out years ago. spending my nuturing years in a single parent home, i knew nothing about the male specie. and of course all i thought i knew was idealistic garbage.

this book will teach you the TRUE nature of men. what they want, dont want, feel and even fear. it will teach you to interprete thier silence CORRECTLY and unveil the myths that even men have created around themselves. and since you learn all this, you will know how to relate the RIGHT way with men and destroy the lies the media pumps into our subconscious about who a real man is. in otherwords, you will be speaking the language of your man.
