The Focused Man: A Letter To My Son

This book started as a letter to my oldest son on how to be a man. Over the past 20 years, I have learned a few things on purpose and some things on accident. I've also learned one or two things, the hardest way possible and I have the scars, regrets and a few bad tattoos to prove it. My path to becoming a man is not a normal or traditional one. I've learned from parents, pastors, policemen, drug dealers, ex-cons, high school kids, dead men, theologians, punks, comic books, and cartoons. My journey has gone from drugs and alcohol, punk rock clubs and street gangs, through the loss of faith and the rejection of God to standing firm in God's Word. This isn't a "How-To Book" but a letter from one man to another on the same journey. These are my words of advice, warnings, and prayers designed to challenge, encourage, and help you become a Focused Man. My desire is to reach fellow outsiders, rebels, oddballs, outcasts and everyone else sitting in the back row of life. Or maybe help you reach the person in your life who might not fit into societies social norms. The content of this book speaks to every man, old and young. It is about authentic manhood. It is how to be a man in today's world. A workbook will soon be published to accompany the book allowing men to go through a six-week study either on their own or with a group of other men. It is also a great study for men to journey through with their sons. This world needs strong, courageous, and authentic men; it needs Focused men.
