Chances are, your husband or boyfriend (also known as a Highly Identifiable Male, or H.I.M.) didn't come with an owner's manual or operating instructions. But the good news is: you are now holding the very next best thing.

  • Does your H.I.M. try to "fix" you, rather than listen to you, when you talk?
  • Has your H.I.M. shown signs of a mysterious addiction to baseball, ESPN, or the dreaded "remote"?
  • Is your H.I.M. unable to respond to your question, "How do you feel about that?" with anything more than a slack-jawed stare?

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? Then join us now as we take an unprecedented journey into the strange and intriguing world of The Highly Identifiable Male.

Reviews
"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
