put the seat down by Jess MacCallum Review and Giveaway



put the seat down (And Other Brilliant Insights for an Awesome First Year of Marriage) by Jess MacCallum

ISBN 978-0-7847-7462-5
Published by Standard Publishing

I looked forward to getting this book for review since I was just married July 30.  Yeah, the book is based for the guys.....and written by a man.  

I actually read the book out loud to my husband.  I knew he wouldn't take the time to read it himself.  We had some laughs....some agreements....and some disagreements as we read it.

I really appreciate that this is a Christian based book.  We did look up some of the Bible verses cited in our own Bibles to see just how the version we use reads.  That is one thing about my husband, he joined my church after the wedding.  Now it's our church.

From a woman's point of view, the advice in this book is right on.  It's written in plain English---easy to read, easy to understand.  It's a small book both in size and pages.  Just 125 pages.  Each chapter starts with a cute cartoon.  I showed the book to our pastor and he just couldn't stop laughing over the cartoon at the beginning of chapter 7.  Chapter 7, by the way, is entitled holy sex!

Jess MacCallum has been married for 22 years.  He's also written another book entitled "I Married Wonder Woman....Now What?"  You can find his website at: http://www.jessmaccallum.com/Jess_MacCallum/Welcome.html

Along with the book came a little note that I could use the book for giveaway once I was done reviewing it.  I've decided to do just that.  Whether you've been married a long time, just thinking of getting married, newly married, or even single, you will enjoy reading this book.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
