In all honesty, I was looking for a book to blog about when this one popped up. I really did not want to get it, but it seemed interesting; so I requested it. Through a Man's Eyes: Helping Women Understand the Visual Nature of Men offered a true perspective of the battle for the mind that men fight on a daily basis in our highly sexualized culture.
The authors lay out a clear and reasoned case of what is going on in the male mind in order for women to better understand their visual wiring. They did not draft this book so that people can reference men as "jerks" or "perverts" but to afford women the opportunity to really understand. Numerous times throughout, wives share their inability to comprehend the male mind because both genders are wired differently.
The last few chapters of the book break down into a specific focus: here is a response that moms should have and here is a response that a wife should have. The strength of the home is the strength of the church and the strength of the church is the strength of the nation. Clearly, we are struggling nationally and it can be traced back to the homes. Women have an opportunity to help teach the next generation about purity in thought and deed while also reinforcing it with the men in their lives today.
Women, get a copy so that you can understand what is going on in the minds of your husbands and your sons. You need to know; and as the G.I. Joe cartoons I grew up watching closed with...."and knowing is half the battle."
