It turns to the timeless wisdom of the Catholic Church to answer the important questions men are currently asking. In short, easy- to-read chapters, the author offers pithy insights on a variety of topics, including How to know you are an authentic man Why our bodies matter The value of tradition The purpose of courtesy What real holiness is and how to achieve it How to deal with failure in the spiritual life

“More than ever we need a book to reflect on, challenge, and guide men in authentic masculinity—and this is it. I highly recommend it!”
“Sam Guzman has given us something we desperately need: a valuable, readable guide to help make our young men into true men.”
“Very well written, direct, and packed with spiritual insight. Our culture isn't suffering from toxic masculinity; it's suffering from a toxic lack of it. This book seeks to remedy that.”
“Sam Guzman hits the nail on the head about what it means to be a real man.”
“The Jordan Peterson phenomenon confirms that men are still hungry for moral leaders, men with integrity who call others to greatness. That's what this book does.”
“Guzman provides an amazing collection of those little things essential to becoming both gentle and manly, like Christ. He is re-presenting gentlemanliness to a generation hungry for something more than sentimentality and cliché.”
“This book is filled with spiritual wisdom based on reason, common sense, and Gospel faith. In a secular world so often constructed on the sand of illusion, here we find the rock of reality upon which life can be built.”
“An absorbing, motivational primer on manhood, presented in the truth, goodness, and beauty of the Catholic tradition.”
