Understanding Manhood in America

by Robert G. Davis

Two of the most important subjects that Davis discusses are those of marriage and fatherhood. The challenges and rewards of being a husband and a father are great. As Davis notes, too many of us had poor role models of what it means to be either a husband or a father. Rather than working on the issues that exist in these complex relationships, all too often men choose to simply walk away. Davis suggests this happens because these men are acting as they observed their fathers having acted. However, Davis is also quick to say that the modern man must rise above that if he is to grasp what it means to be a man. The road to the "mature masculine" is not the "easy road"; it is one of work, responsibility and perseverance.

[Steve · Rating 4 out of 5]

An outstanding bit of intellectual work in need of a new typesetter and editor!

Micro font down to only cover part of the page makes the read more difficult than it deserved to be, and basic editorial flaws peppered through out (how many Beatles were there? What is the correct last name of that 1960's folk protect singer Joan Bxxx.....?) .

Many gems of wisdom nonetheless!
