Finding good books in an Author eat Author world!

I think this book helped me through some tough times. It was recommended to me by a friend, and I couldnt thank him enough for it!The book definitely gets its point across with some funny stories along the way.This isn't one of those "Live your life the way I tell you to" books, it basically informs you about stuff you might never have learned about except for the hard way. I finished the book feeling a lot better about myself and the people around me.I highly recommend this book. Have a read, and I am sure you won't regret it for a second!

Finding your mate!

I read several books on gay dating and how to meet Mr. Right. This one, along with Patrick Prices' "Husband Hunting Made Easy" were the best. It has frank, honest commentary about what you need to do to attract Mr. Right. I am happy to say that I have used many ideas from this book, and have found my True Love.

THE book on gay male relationships!

If there were one book to recommend on gay male relationships--This is the ONE! As a social work therapist, I recommend this book to all my gay male clients and workshop participants. Summarizes the developmental process of relationship in a non pathologizing way, while offering useful skills to meet and connect with other men! Anxiously awaiting Craigs further offerings. This one is well worth the price!

If you are a gay man with depth . . .

What else can be said? If you are a gay man with courage, valor, candor, compassion and even the mildest sense of humor (whew) you MUST read this book. If you are an individual with a capital "I" this book will only bring you closer to who you are and how you view the most important person in your life-you. Read it, buy it, share it, give it away. Every time I open this book, for whatever reason, it I find something new to carry with me for the rest of the day. Thank you Mr. Nelson, you have done a tremendous service to our community.
