Men

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.

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.

Benefits of a compact book

Portability - A small, compact book is easy to carry, making it convenient for travel, commuting, or reading on the go.

Accessibility - Its size allows for quick reference, whether for study, prayer, or casual reading, without the bulk of a larger volume.

Discreetness - A compact book can be read in public or private without drawing much attention, making it ideal for personal reflection or study.

Durability - Smaller books often have sturdier bindings and covers, allowing them to withstand frequent handling and travel.

Efficiency - Concise and well-organized content ensures that the reader gets essential information without unnecessary bulk, making learning or devotion more focused and effective.

Originally commissioned by Exodus 90, the pioneering men's app, these brief but stirring reflections by acclaimed writer Joseph Pearce show how great literature--including poetry--can help every Catholic man striving for virtue and holiness.

Drawing on luminaries such as Homer, Dante, St. John Henry Newman, Chesterton, Tolkien, and C. S. Lewis, Pearce shows that literature, far from being a dead relic of the past, tackles crucial questions which are directly relevant to modern men. Among the many great books he reflects on for the benefit of men include The Odyssey, The Aeneid, Beowulf, The Divine Comedy, Hamlet, Brideshead Revisited, The Hobbit, Chronicles of Narnia, The Ball and Cross. Some of the classic works of poetry he comments on for men's inspiration include The Hound of Heaven, God's Grandeur, Twelfth Night, The Tiger and If.

What does Shakespeare say about the dangers of lust? How does God pursue the sinner like a "Hound of Heaven"? What does it mean to be soldiers of Christ on active duty in the Church Militant? What sort of men do we want our sons to become? What does a great poet-saint teach us about the power of the sign of the cross to exorcise demons? How can we nurture a faith which is fearless? In a culture that fosters toxic masculinity on the one hand and effeminacy on the other, the literary giants of the past offer an inspiring alternative vision of true manhood, one that Catholic men are called to embrace as they "work out [their] salvation with fear and trembling" (Phil 2:12).

"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.

St. Paul has earned the right to speak to men. He knows what it takes to live a life worthy of your calling. A mature man in everyday life is one who physically and spiritually provides for and protects his family. Do not leave this task to someone else. Learn how to be the man God is calling you to be through the Letter of Paul to the Ephesians. This Bible study on Ephesians will unlock what Paul says about the keys to a life worth living in: marriage, family, business, sexuality, money, friendships, and getting to heaven.

Countless adults today lament the loss of our culture's young men to drugs and debauchery, to drunkenness, video games, and pornography.

The cry goes up, "Today's boys will never be fit to be husbands and fathers!"

Blaming boys is not the solution.

Men are.

Or, to be precise, men who help boys become the real men they are supposed to be.

Real men crush evil wherever it threatens the good. They speak the truth. They love and protect the beautiful. In defeating bullies and in fighting just wars, real men ensure the safety and well-being of the innocent and vulnerable.

How can we teach our boys to become real men?

In these wise pages, Fr. Peter Michael Henry explains the process in detail.

Using history, philosophy, psychology, sociology and sacred scripture - and a large dose of age-old common sense - Fr. Henry instructs every man who is a dad, grandfather, uncle, coach, teacher, or youth minister how to raise up

No more apologies for being a man! Best-selling social commentator Anthony Esolen draws on timeless wisdom to defend the masculine virtues of strength, drive, ambition, and determination in building and upholding civilization itself.

This is a book that should not have to be written. Its purpose is to return to men a sense of their worth as men and to give to boys the noble aim of manliness, an aim which is their due by right.

One of the most courageous and penetrating writers of our time, Anthony Esolen shows that men and women would both be happier if men came to a just appraisal of their worth. The manhood he praises does not boast or swagger, but it appreciates its powers. It is reluctant to hurt, but it does not cringe or cower.

The whole of civilization rests on the shoulders of men who have done work that most people would not do--and that the physically weaker sex could not have done. And though the masculine mystique is about more than physical force, the differences between the sexes--manifold and profound--are all related in some way to that one, the easiest difference to see and the hardest to deny.

The feminist who mindlessly asserts that "a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle" takes her comfortable world--including the bicycle--for granted. And she betrays her lovelessness and ingratitude. Worse, she poisons the minds and hearts of boys with her talk of "toxic masculinity."

No Apologies, with its compelling vision of a strong and effective manhood, reminds men that they have powers as men, and that those powers must be used for the common good, for everyone--men, women, and children all.

This is a simple, comprehensive guide for men seeking to grow daily in their relationship with Our Lord Jesus Christ. It introduces men to the rhythm of prayer throughout their entire day - from the moment they wake to their last conscious thought. It offers quick insights and prayers for common concerns facing men throughout their day/life. It also introduces men to traditional devotional practices and prayers of the Church.

Prayers for Catholic Men supports men in their primary vocations in life and assists them in dealing with the attendant concerns and stresses. It introduces men to the spiritual riches of an active daily prayer life. Unlike the many "self-help" books filled with platitudes, this book offers assistance in achieving that for which man's heart is truly restless - love, peace and joy that only comes from a good relationship with God.

The beauty of Prayers for Catholic Men is its simple efficacy. The guide is written for every man at every moment of every day. Being a handy pocketbook size, it is meant to travel with a man to work/school and home again. It shoots straight and does not pontificate. It is loving, but not "sappy." It does not require the reader to be a theologian, but neither does it "talk-down" to its audience. It meets a man right where he is and helps bring him to where he wants to do.

Thirty-five years ago, when I was at a low point in my life, the Lord called on me to go deeper in the Faith and to commit myself more fully to Him. My reply? "Yes, Lord! I desire renewal, but I can't do it alone. I need your help."

In these pages, I share key details of my journey down the Road to Spiritual Fitness and provide you with some of the first-class tools that have sustained me along the way (and will sustain you, too).

Don't fear . . . and don't delay! These tools are for regular guys like you and me, down-to-earth men struggling against the many temptations that face us today. I can assure you that if you follow the steps outlined in these pages, you will, through the power of the Holy Spirit, become spiritually fit to overcome those temptations and face the many other trials of this life.

Some Catholic devotional books written specifically for men feature excerpts from Scripture, while others focus on quotes from the saints. But this book is different: it includes daily reflections that comprise both Scripture and saint quotes along with a relevant meditation meant to jump-start and strengthen a man's spiritual life over the course of six months.

Popular speaker and author Fr. Wade Menezes, CPM, of the Fathers of Mercy, penned these rich, practical reflections for men of every vocation. His tight, powerpacked pages offer achievable resolutions and prudent advice on attaining your goals in everyday living.

The timely wisdom of this book will help you cultivate virtue and root out vice, preparing you to:

Put on the armor of God for the daily struggle and withstand trials at home and at work

Imitate Christ in guarding your senses and responding to temptation

Develop greater trust in God and His mercy

Fulfill your duties with diligence and balance while serving God and others

Kindle your prayer life, better utilize your talents, and order your priorities

Draw more from the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass

Fr. Menezes also incorporates key traditional prayers and litanies for weekly devotions and provides helpful cross-references for personal and group use. This daily spiritual manual will help you grow in knowledge of your faith and gain strength for spiritual battle to more fully become the man you were created and called to be.

Telling real-life stories of despair, hope and lasting change, Andrew Comiskey lays out the foundations for healing from relational and sexual sin. With chapters focusing on particular areas of vulnerability for men and women, on the battle over homosexuality in church and culture, and on the essential role of the church in ongoing healing, Strength in Weakness makes clear the way to the cross--God's sufficient answer to our deepest needs.

The time has come for Catholic men to take up their God- ordained role as priest, prophet, and king of their families. In The Three Marks of Manhood, author and psychologist G. C. Dilsaver shows you how to do this by wielding the three staffs of patriarchy: the Scepter of authority and self-discipline, the Crosier of spiritual stewardship, and the Cross of redemptive suffering.   This familial headship to which God calls Christian patriarchs is not the old pagan notion of brute dominance over wife and children, but rather a loving authority that is unequivocal yet self-sacrificial just like Christ's. Indeed, it is only by imitating Our Lord's headship over His Church that men can lead their families to become what God intended, and empower them to resist the threats of secular culture.   The Three Marks of Manhood is a bold and wise book that will show both husbands and wives the way to greater virtue and happiness. Read it and learn how to build a strong and lasting marriage, raise children to become faithful men and women of God, and foster an authentic Catholic culture in your home.
