Review

"The subtitle of this book reads: End Your Silence, Sadness, Suffering, and Shame. It is a huge promise, and what is astonishing is that Rick and Brenda Redner deliver what they promise in the title of their work in an amazing way." (5 stars) Readers' Favorite Review

"Reading Rick and Brenda's story has been very eye-opening. It is definitely a worthy read for any man struggling with ED and for couples looking to support each other through it all so they can put intimacy back into their relationship." (5 stars)Readers' Favorite Review

Rick Redner's book is the best of it kind, and possibly the only one. Excellent reading for any man who is dealing with Erectile Dysfunction, considering an implant or has already gone through the procedure. The book covers many of the concerns that men experience when dealing with ED: physically, emotionally, and spiritually. The author provides alternatives to handling the questions that can plague men whether they've had prostate surgery, or not. He offers up personal experiences that can be helpful in decision-making and are relatable to men dealing with similar considerations. His technique is honest and forthcoming. I felt like I was having a conversation with the man, as well as with his wife. The book offers support and offers online suggestions that men can check out to further research their individual cases. Personally, I've had the penile implant for about a year now. I wish the book had been available to me before my surgery.
A Survivor

Jointly written by Rick and his wife, this book tells their story living through the extreme highs and lows of prostate cancer, survival, surgery, impotence, Erectile Dysfunction (ED) and eventually Penile Implant. Rather than focusing solely on his own experience, Redner's deep research in the subject is clearly apparent, and he writes with an authority and surety that lends credibility almost immediately. The personal anecdotes mixed with straightforward advice and wisdom give the book a distinctly narrative feel. Rick Redner and his wife are talented writers and courageous survivors who are willing to share their experiences. The writing is striking in its frank, delicate handling of complex emotions, and a positive attitude, revealing a true sensitivity within the author and an inherent desire to write for the benefit of others.

From the Author

There is a destructive belief about erectile dysfunction that's  powerful enough to ruin your life and your relationships. In fact, it's such a powerful belief, it will affect how you think, how you function, and how you live. Most men come to believe ED has taken away their manhood at some point in their journey with ED. I can assure you that nothing constructive comes from believing you are no longer a man.                                                                                                       I spent too much of my time believing I'd lost my manhood. I also believed my wife would be better off without me, Thankfully, she never believed that, though I've heard from men whose partners broke up with them as a direct result of their inability to maintain an erection. I didn't want to live with erectile dysfunction for the rest of my life. I was blessed to stumble on a surgery that cures erection dysfunction-penile implant surgery.Surgery is not an option for every man facing life-long impotence. It's one option. Another is to redefine your definition of manhood and discover new ways to enjoy your sexuality. Reading our book will help you decide which is the right option for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Book That Brings Hope and Healing For Men Suffering From Erectile Dysfunction
Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2016

Award-winning authors, Rick and Brenda Redner, have written a new book that I believe should be at the top of every man’s resource list who is facing or suffering from the cause and effects of erectile dysfunction (ED). The book, titled “Everything You Never Wanted To Know about Erectile Dysfunction and Penile Implants,” discusses the couples experiences with ED and the surgical procedure called penile implant surgery that provides a cure for ED. Their journey with ED began after Rick was diagnosed with prostate cancer and it continued for four years. What they share about their experience with ED can be life-changing and for some, life-saving!

Together, Rick and Brenda have taken control over ED rather than allowing it to define Rick’s manhood or their marriage. Their honest and sincere approach for helping others heal physically and psychologically, offers a positive and hopeful perspective for men with ED about life without a prostate and the possibility of penile implant surgery. I have much admiration and respect for this amazing couple for bravely taking on a battle they could have easily walked away from by breaking their marriage commitment. Instead, they used their problems with ED to triumph and experience an even greater marriage than before Rick’s diagnoses of prostate cancer. They attribute much of their healing and growth to their faith in God which adds a strong, spiritual dimension to their book, making it the only faith-based book available that addresses ED and penile implant surgery.

I find it important that the information and resources the authors share in “Everything You Never Wanted To Know about Erectile Dysfunction and Penile Implants,” are a part of their personal success story. Proving their message with their lives establishes the kind of credibility in which the reader can build trust to find and receive the help they need with the least resistance. I highly recommend this unique guide to every man suffering from ED and their partner. The book is very well-written and easy to follow. I also recommend it as general reading for men’s health.

I have also read the couple's first book, "I Left My Prostate in San Francisco—Where's Yours?: Coping with the Emotional, Relational, Sexual, and Spiritual Aspects of Prostate Cancer" and I recommend it as well for men who need a push to visit a doctor if they believe they may have prostate cancer. The book offers much advice, resources and spiritual guidance for surgery and healing.

Note: While in the process of writing this review, I learned that it won first place in the category of men's health in the 5th annual Beverly Hills International Book Awards. Congratulations!

5.0 out of 5 stars A primer on ED and penile implants
Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2016

Packed into 158 pages (Everything...) is an important book for those struggling with the crushing vicissitudes of erectile dysfunction and the intimidating world of surgical penile implants. The husband & wife authors provide a candid, blunt, and extremely personal account of their journey together from prostate cancer surgery to a lifelong prospect of impotency, penile rehabilitation, and, eventually, the frightening but promising solution in penile implants. Along the way the authors narrate their painful and personal experiences in marital tension, PTSD, and drug addiction. While the pages on penile implant surgery are reminiscent of Murphy's Law, their journey has a happy ending, but it didn't come easy....anything but.

The authors are professional in their field and their book shows it. Very well written, concise, informative, laced throughout with psychological, therapeutic and spiritual guidance, (Everything...) is a masterful journal, a handbook with extensive research, Q&A chapter endings, a lifeline for ED patients, and their partners, emotionally devastated by a future of permanent impotency and the threat of broken relationships.

To the uninitiated, the book is also interesting for some intriguing thoughts and statements, e.g., "You can thoroughly enjoy sex without having a
strong desire to do so", and another: "Some men go through life with (implant) surgery only to discover that they rarely, if ever, use their implant."

This book is highly recommended. It deserves some kind of literary award...a must reading for ED sufferers overcome with stress, shame, humiliation with no relief in sight. Tip: It doesn't have to be this way, but you must get out of yourself and seek professional help.

Reviewer's Note: Obviously, this review is a rave. The authors, no acquaintances, were kind enough to gift a copy of this book to me in exchange for my objective and independent review. I think I carried out my part of the bargain; I just can't hide my fascination with a good book.

Erectile dysfunction is not a topic that most women would talk about,let alone read about. You see the commercials for the pills and think,"that is an easy fix". After reading this book,I have learned there is so much more to it. The author and his wife,know first hand the effect of ED and the good and bad of penile implantation also. After dealing with the worse possible,prostate cancer,he ended up having to deal with his loss of getting and keeping an erection. There is so much more to it then not being able to perform.There is depression, and second guessing yourself as a man. Not only does it effect the bedroom,it can effect every aspect of your daily life. But,do not let that, despair you. There is answers and not only in pills. There is pumps,which take work and can include your partner. But,the one I did not know about was the 3 different penile implants.I never knew there was that choice for men. This book was full of great information, tips and websites that you can go too,along with checklist to ask yourself and your Doctor. As with most medical problems,this is more common then you know and is nothing to be ashamed about. A very informative book,that can be read together as a couple.
