Rabbi Weinsberg has provided such useful information in this book, that I recommend it even if the health challenge being faced is something other than prostate cancer. The natural health suggestions he makes, the relaxation techniques he describes, are useful for everyone, especially someone about to undergo surgery. Most of all, as a sex educator and couples’ coach, I applaud and appreciate his open discussion of the sexual experiences and struggles that accompanied his journey to wellness. He and his wife, in their admirable desire to help others, courageously reveal what normally stays hidden behind closed doors. In so doing, they encourage readers to more comfortably relate to their own sexual situation and to explore ways to improve it.

Conquer Prostate Cancer: How Medicine, Faith, Love and Sex Can Renew Your Life
This book is a must read for any guy diagnosed with early stage prostate cancer. I received it as a gift and ended up e-mailing Rabbi Ed to thank him for writing it. I received the book after having made my treatment decision to undergo laparoscopic robotic prostatectomy. I still had serious doubts and worries about the surgery and more so about its aftermath. The book is most informative and really put me at ease with my decision.
Early stage prostate cancer is unique in that the patient generally must decide upon the method of treatment. This was a decision I struggled with for weeks. If I had read the book at that time I believe the selection process would have been much less difficult. If you have been recently diagnosed I wish you well and implore you to read this book. I plan to tell my urologist to recommend it to future patients
