Men
Be a Man!
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 one's 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 sexuality--for 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 man's life and his identity as a man. He inspires men to become the true heroes they long to be--men 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.

Behold the Man: A Catholic Vision of Male Spirituality
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.

Daily Companion for Men
Daily Companion for Men 978-1-941243-94-7
Daily Companion for Men is written by Allan F. Wright, husband and father of four and offers a way for men to strengthen relationship with Christ each day. Each reading begins with a brief quote from Sacred Scripture, a writing of a saint or an inspirational teaching from the Church followed by a reflection and ends with a prayer. A great way to begin or end each day. This book makes an excellent gift for any birthday, anniversary or just as a gift to let the man in your life know that the spiritual life is important.
This daily spiritual book offers Catholic men a powerful tool to deepen their faith, strengthen their character, and live out their vocation with purpose. Rooted in the rich tradition of the Church, such a practice provides consistent nourishment for the soul, fostering a closer relationship with God amid the demands of daily life.
Among the Features of this Book:
Visit our website www.catholicbookpublishing.com for more Catholic resources to strengthen your faith.
One key benefit is spiritual growth, a daily reflection on Scripture exposes men to timeless wisdom and the lives of saints. This habit aligns their minds with Gospel values, encouraging virtues like humility, courage, and perseverance. The Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC 2705) underscores meditation on spiritual texts as a path to understanding God's will, making it a practical way to grow in holiness.
Another advantage is discipline. Committing to daily reading builds a routine that mirrors the consistency of prayer or Mass attendance. For men juggling work, family, and societal pressures, this discipline becomes an anchor, helping them prioritize faith over distractions. Research, such as a 2019 study from Psychology of Religion and Spirituality, suggests that regular spiritual practices enhance self-control and emotional stability, benefits that ripple into personal and professional life.
A daily spiritual book also equips Catholic men to lead. As husbands, fathers, or community members, they're called to be servant-leaders (Ephesians 5:25). Reflections on Christ's example or saintly masculinity--think St. Joseph's quiet strength--offer practical insights for guiding others with love and integrity. This strengthens their ability to witness faith in a secular world.
Finally, it fosters peace. In a culture of noise and anxiety, a few minutes with a spiritual text provides stillness, connecting men to God's presence. Over time, this practice transforms them into men of prayer and action, living their faith boldly and authentically.

Gentleman's Guide to Manners, Sex, and Ruling the World
What is a gentleman, and why should every man aspire to be one? Does the ideal still have any value in the age of feminism, "toxic masculinity," and "men going their own way"? Traditional books on manners and gentlemanly behavior have always claimed that manhood is defined by certain universal principles. But these norms have now changed so radically that the standard advice, tried and true as much of it remains, requires new formulation to be useful to the modern man.
Manhood is not something you're born into it: it's something that must be achieved and proven. Dr. Baskerville presents here the frankest guide to manners and morals ever written, offering you a refreshingly honest guidebook on how to become not just a man in the modern world but a gentleman.

Holy Grit: A Saintly Guide to Becoming a Man of Virtue
Discover what it means to become a man of faith through the lives of ten male saints and their experiences pursuing holiness. In Holy Grit, you'll join Catholic life coach Paul George to consider some of the tough issues facing men today--struggles in marriage, parenting, suffering, and finding purpose--to determine areas for growth and take steps toward living the life for which God created you.
You might have grown up with an image of masculinity defined by tough guys on TV--boxers, gangsters, cowboys, fighter pilots, the fastest gun in the West. These guys had courage, backbone, and guts. They had grit.
"As a man, I know the struggles of living a manly existence. It is one I deal with daily," George writes. "I'm no expert, but I'm a gritty guy, like you, grinding it out on my journey."
But George admits that grit isn't enough to satisfy the longing in a man's soul: you have to start trusting God and taking seriously the call to be holy.
Holy Grit is rich in personal stories, thought-provoking questions, spiritual insights, and mental health tips that help Catholic men like you build the spiritual foundation you need to serve your family, parish, and community. George invites you to examine how saints such as Maximilian Kolbe, Louis Martin, and John Paul II understood themselves as men. Learning from the lessons of the saints, George will help you explore how to:
Each chapter introduces a saint, offers practical takeaways for modern men, and includes reflection questions, an action plan, and a prayer.

Leaving Boyhood Behind: Reclaiming the Gift of Manhood and Traditional Rites of Passage
"When I was a child," Saint Paul writes, "I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became a man, I gave up childish ways" (1 Cor 13:11). This distinction, and the transition from boyhood to manhood, does not seem as easy for us today. Our society, with its increasingly grotesque masculine identity crisis, cannot define "the things of a man."
In this revised and expanded edition, author Jason Craig, cofounder of Fraternus, a Catholic mentoring program for boys, demonstrates how we can actually do something to address this crisis. Leaving Boyhood Behind resets our understanding of the gift of manhood and the wisdom of traditional rites of passage.
Men have what it takes to change the tide of confusion, insecurity, and immaturity. Especially in the Church, we have everything we need for true and authentic masculinity, because we have the true man and true God, Jesus Christ. This book is a call to action. You can understand these principles and enact the simple ideas in your own life in ways that are natural and effective.

What Attracts Men to the Sacred Liturgy--And Why
In this timely book, acclaimed radio host and author Jesse Romero teaches men how the traditional liturgy equips them to put on the armor of Christ and fight the daily spiritual battle for souls.
Drawing from his background in law enforcement and spiritual warfare, Romero outlines why the traditional Latin Mass spoke to him in such a powerful way and transformed his spiritual life. He describes how the implementation of the new Mass -- with its emotionalism and horizontal focus -- led men in particular to lose the zeal of the saints, and how the manner in which they worship God is central to restoring that fervor.
Romero breaks down exactly why men find their "natural and supernatural home on this earth" at the traditional Mass. He highlights:
Romero includes select essays from priests on the efficacy of traditional prayers, and firsthand testimonies from powerful Catholic men of today, including NFL kicker Harrison Butker, UFC Hall of Famer Bas Rutten, and Navy SEAL Charlie Aeschliman, who have found solace and purpose in the traditional liturgy.
As contributor Kyle Clement, a rancher, husband, and father puts it, "Part of the masculine disposition is a desire for ritual and fraternity -- ritual meaning order. The Holy Roman Mass in the Tridentine form is ordered, and it is order that lifts the soul toward Heaven."
In the midst of a culture that distorts authentic masculinity and femininity, the timeless teachings of the Catholic Church, as expressed through her traditional liturgy, stand steadfastly in the fray.
What Attracts Men to the Sacred Liturgy -- and Why gives men insight into how the liturgy is the wellspring of their vocations, the source of their strength, and the fullest expression of the truth worth dying for.
