Lucid and inspiring, Behold the Man is a unique exploration of Catholic spirituality for men. Much of the literature written for Catholic men focuses on topical issues such as fatherhood and sexuality. While this book does not exclude these subjects, it is the first to present a comprehensive picture of Catholic male spirituality.

What is authentic male Catholic spirituality? What distinguishes it from Protestant male spirituality? How does masculine spirituality complement feminine spirituality? These questions and many more are answered in this book.

Drawing from Scripture and Church teaching, the author roots Catholic male spirituality in a covenant relationship with God and the cross of Jesus Christ. He demonstrates that when a man embraces the cross he is truly able to be himself--the man that God created and calls him to be. Behold the Man can deepen a man's experience of Christ and help him to know the Lord more intimately.

In these Scriptures, reflections, and prayers for each day, noted author, teacher, husband, and father Allan Wright provides just the right amount of encouragement and challenge to guide and inspire men of every age and way of life. His own family and faith struggles are certain to speak to those who take a few minutes each day to pray for themselves and others.

The groundbreaking guide to fighting sexual temptation, with more than 4 million copies sold in the series--now revised and updated to help men navigate the realities of technology and other contemporary challenges

"Every male should read this book. As the battle for our minds intensifies, the need for direction increases."--Max Lucado, pastor and bestselling author

We live in a world awash with sensual images 24/7. The exponential growth of pornography and internet infidelity has men locked in a battle of spiritual warfare against these temptations, often drowning in addiction, defeat, and shame.

But you can be victorious in the battle for sexual integrity. Every Man's Battle reveals a detailed strategy that has helped millions of men win the war against temptation. This revised and updated edition of the bestselling classic offers:

- Guidance for navigating cultural challenges with a godly view of women and sexuality
- Current insights into the proven connection between porn and sexual dysfunction
- Critical advances in brain science that show how addiction affects our minds
- Practical solutions to rein in wandering eyes and lustful thoughts
- Suggestions for nurturing a marriage filled with vibrant sexual intimacy
- A clear plan to help you avoid or end addictive behavior and experience lasting freedom

Every Man's Battle offers a practical, biblical plan to help you experience victory and wholeness, as well as a comprehensive workbook for group discussion or personal reflection.

Christian men, beware: the world wants you for its own. It wants you to choose lust over love, porn over prayer, and the idols of materialism, entertainment, and the flesh over the icons of Christ, his mother, and the saints. It's tempting--and easy--to be a Man of the World. In his ministry at a major university, Fr. Terence Ehrman has seen and heard it all, helping many young men to deal with the lies and temptations that the world throws their way. And he has a challenge for them--and for you: Be a Man of God instead. In Man of God: Lessons to Young Men About Life, Sex, Friendship, Vocation, and Loving with the Heart of Christ, Fr. Ehrman draws on his experiences counseling men who are struggling to live in the world but not be of the world. In the form of emails written to a former student, he offers a plan for ongoing conversion that is both wise and practical, high-minded yet real. Man of God is holy spiritual direction for all men who want to master themselves and be transformed from within; firm and loving guidance to help you reject the world and choose the Kingdom.

Manual for Men is for men who are in the arena, warriors for Christ and His Church. It is for those men who battle daily for their souls and for their family. It is often a struggle to shed the sins and vices the world offers men, but it's a battle we must fight and win.

In Part I, Bishop Thomas Olmsted calls for Catholic men to step up and "into the breach" in service to God, their families, parishes, and wider communities. In the course of his exhortation, Olmsted unveils:

- How being a Christian man is far more than physical prowess or worldly power
- Why the world and the Church desperately need men--real men--to fight for them in spiritual combat
- The vital importance of prayer and the sacraments in the life of every man
- Why fatherhood, fully understood, is so crucial for every man
- The value of devotion to a patron saint (complete with 10 manly suggestions)
- Most importantly, how men have the perfect model of man in Jesus Christ, and how we can follow his example.

In Part II, Cook presents a treasure trove of prayers, church teachings, and writings from the saints that serve as a tremendous source of inspiration for men seeking to become better men of God. It is at once an essential guide and a profound book of prayers designed specifically for men.

Now, perhaps more than ever, men need to be men. But what it means to be a man has been twisted into a pale and mangled image of true manhood. Manual for Men serves as a field guide and instruction manual for those husbands, fathers, sons and brothers who would become real men of God-- men who protect, physically and spiritually, those entrusted to them; men who sacrifice, pray, fight, love, and live by the example of Christ.

There is a battle for our souls, our families, our world, and Our Lord calls us men to fight. Are you ready to answer the call? Will you accept Bishop Olmsted's plea to "engage in the battle that is raging around you"?

Not long ago, young boys were taught how to be noble and virtuous, as well as kind and courageous. Yet today, too often young men grow into adult men without the formation and training they need to be strong contributors to the human society.

Fr. Donald Calloway, MIC, calls this book, "Anointed!", Exorcist Fr. Gary Thomas, subject of the movie, "The Rite," says, "OF MEN AND MARY is superb. The six life testimonies contained within it are miraculous, heroic, and truly inspiring." Certain books as this come along that have the power "to transform lives, to free people from darkness," claims Br. Daniel Maria Klimek, T.O.R. "I plan to share this tremendous work with many through the years."

Powerful in the spirit, OF MEN AND MARY also delivers tasty doses of pure entertainment. You will find yourself inspired by a murderer, a sweet lamb who lost it all, and a man who literally died--and then came back to life. You will suddenly root for a football player tackled by the Blessed Mother, a man caught up in illicit sexual liaisons, and a man whose marriage was as good as dead.

While OF MEN AND MARY may be about six males, it is for everyone, because it is also a book about a woman. In the heat of the fiercest of spiritual battles, when all seemed lost and these men were left with nothing to stand on but stormy seas, they were given a lifeboat. That lifeboat--that woman--is the Blessed Virgin Mary. She is the boat of safety for all of us, the surest and safest passage to the heart of her Son. She is our victory and sweet reassurance that God's plan is infinitely better than our own; and she is our challenge to follow her Son, no matter the cost, no matter how fierce the battle. Read the stories of these brave men, and you will inevitably come away with a desire to climb in the boat with them and sail safely home.
