Ladies,
 How many of you struggle trying to understand how to talk with the men in your life? Sometimes it seems like males and females come from two different countries and speak two separate languages. But it is possible to communicate with your man (or boy) effectively and openly by following a few simple ideas that we present in this issue of our newsletter. I hope you will enjoy!
Sincerely,
Rick Johnson

The following are the Ten Keys to Successful Communication with Your Man. A woman, with her superior communication skills, can be a big help to her man (and her relationship) by helping and guiding him to learn to communicate better instead of being agitated by his lack of skills in this area. Remember men communicate differently than women. If you try to talk with your man like you do your girlfriend's you will both probably be disappointed and frustrated. However, if you practice these ten tips on a consistent basis you will be well on your way to becoming...A Man Whisperer.

Single Mom Camps Change Lives
Each year Better Dads ministry hosts their annual Single Mom Family Camp for approximately 25 single moms and their children. Their goal is to honor, teach, and pamper the moms. All the while their children are enjoying time in the outdoors with positive male mentors doing activities like swimming, rafting, fishing, playing sports, building stuff, and playing with other kids. These three-day, life changing camps are free to the families who attend and the response has been overwhelming.

Testimonials:
I went to one of your seminars about six years ago and it changed my parenting for the better. My son is now 11 years old and I can't praise you enough for your wisdom and guidance that has helped me to raise my son into the outstanding young man he is now. I'm a single mother and I speak of you often...your ears probably burn on a regular basis, lol. You know how they have people like, "The horse whisperer" and "The dog whisperer." Well you're like "The single mom to boy(s) whisperer." I would recommend to every parent (not just moms) to attend your seminars and purchase your books. I can't praise you enough. I have the utmost admiration and respect for you.....you ROCK! God bless you and yours. BW
Good morning, Rick!
I am a BIG fan of yours and stumbled upon your books while I was pregnant and doing a lot of soul searching. I had a lot of issues with my mother growing up and had a hard time understanding the importance of mothers and why I even mattered to my son. I was thinking of leaving my son and husband to live life on their own. The first book I read was "That's My Son" and it changed all of that for me. I was especially touched by your personal stories and experiences.
I have also read/reread Better Dads, Stronger Sons and The Man Whisper. WOW! You have certainly found your calling. One important lesson you taught me in The Man Whisper is that even though I may verbally out spar my husband, I am not necessarily the winner. Perhaps its my personality, or maybe just because I am a woman, but I would set out to prove my point, like I was in a presidential debate or something. Your perspective and advise has changed all of that.
I have given copies of your books as gifts and reference you quite often. Anyway, I wanted to let you know that I a big fan and it was such a highlight and honor when you acknowledged and thanked me for reading your books. It is you and God who should be thanked!!
Please keep up the good work! LV
