Product Description
Men are rediscovering the importance of the spiritual life, and Father Larry Richards is helping them do it. While some writers apply a one-size-fits-all approach to the Christian life, Father Richards draws on his many years of ministry and his own experience as a man to inspire other men as men. In Be a Man!, he recounts his struggles to learn true manhood, as well as the inspiring stories of others he has served in his decades as a priest. He tells men how to focus on the right goal, how to live as a beloved son of God, of the need to acknowledge ones faults and to live according to the Holy Spirit, to be a man of true love and of wisdom, to appreciate properly the differences between men and women, to pursue holiness, and to make a difference in the world. Not preachy but direct, Father Richards challenges men to be strong, without putting on a mask of false strength or machismo. He calls men to admit their weaknesses and limitations, while urging them to find strength in faith and genuine love to overcome their sins and faults. Although a celibate priest, he minces no words when it comes to the place of sexualityfor the unmarried man as well as for the married man. He shows that true manliness is not opposed to love but thrives on it. Father Richards stresses that a relationship with Christ reveals the meaning of a mans life and his identity as a man. He inspires men to become the true heroes they long to bemen of authentic courage, compassion and integrity. This is a highly readable book for men by a man who knows how to talk to men about the things that matter most. Author: Fr. Larry Richards Format: Paperback, 196 pages Publisher: Ignatius Press ISBN: 9781586174033

AMAZING! July 22, 2010

I bought this book for my husband, dad, and first cousin! Each for different reasons and it has touched all of them. I am sure the priest that wrote this book is looking down from heaven smiling at my review....there is something very special about this book.
A read must July 22, 2010
Ernest R. Amo (TX)
This book is a read must for all men, young and old. It reads like an arm chair conversation with the author. It has changed my life and those that are in my mens group.
Individual Guide For Spiritual Growth July 16, 2010

This is a great book. It is written by Father Larry Richards and I highly recommend it. If you have had the opportunity to hear him talk, on the radio or at a Church function, then you will find that he writes the same way that he speaks. He is not afraid to compare himself or use himself as an example. He is in your face, but not in a confrontational manner, but questioning you as to ask, "Is this where you want to be in life"?
The book has a number of goals and questions for discussions at the end of each chapter. This makes it a good book for group discussions and the goals are realistic goals for you to try and achieve. If you have achieved some of the goals of each chapter, you will find that the chapter was a fast read. If you find you are getting a little bogged down, it is because that is an area of yourself that needs improvement.
What is written is not pie in the sky. It is down to earth and realistic. The goals at the end of the chapters are achievable, but you may have to do some work.
This would be a good gift for a new dad, Father's Day, birthday or Christmas.

I'm only reading this book as part of a book discussion group. After having read about half of the book I can say I would not recommend it. Some people I know are super-religious and into the mysterious. For them this book is relevant. For me it is not.

A great book for those years of puberty and adolescence.
I really recomended. It is a great content and it is not easy to read, not very apealing to a young man and needs a motivational work before giving it.
Realy recommended.
