How to Hit a Curveball, Grill the Perfect Steak, and Become a Real Man: Learning What Our Fathers Never Taught Us Paperback – April 25, 2008

Fabulous-- a very practical guide sprinkled with the authors' characteristic laugh out loud hysterical illustrations from life experiences. This is an EXCELLENT gift for young men, high school and college graduates. The best graduation gift I know of for young men! (in spite of the subtitle- this helpful guide into manhood is for ALL young men, even if their fathers are fully engaged)

This book includes 20+ multi-page sidebars that detail subjects from "How to get the perfect shave" and "How to skin a deer," to "How to grill a great steak". I would heartily recommend, especially to a young man who is looking to get a concise, practical definition of Biblical manhood.

His approach and topics are at the same time entertaining and informative. Hope to continue using as a gift. THanks.

This book is a great read for men who are defining their masculinity and are looking to understand their lives as men!

The authors have succinctly articulated the essence of Christian masculinity, and have shared experiences about their marriages and parenting that largely "ring true" to me personally. Their thoughts about work and the responsibility of providing for one's own correctly captures the dichotomy of responsibility vs. personal fulfillment, and the integral part personal sacrifice and service to others play in being a "real man". While they don't get it 100% right (why should they?--the rest of us have been struggling with these issues for years and don't have it right either), they bring voice to feelings and truths most men need to confront in their lives. I wish I'd read this book 30 years ago.
