About the Book
There is a difference between being a male and being a man. While the world is full of males - examples of genuine masculinity are few and far between. It is for this reason that this book was written. John Wayne once said, "A man's got to have a code, a creed to live by." This book endeavors to share some of that creed - the DNA of great men. Its expectations are high, and its call is life-changing. To aspire to be a man is to aspire for greatness. It's a life-long quest. This book will teach men how to react during challenging circumstances, how to confront evil with resolve and how to live a life worthy of the high calling of the nobility of genuine manhood. Manliness is far more than the size of your truck tires, biceps, or bank account. Great men are not defined by the weight they can lift, the amount they can drink or the amount of women who chase after them. Manliness is so much more than scaling mountains, killing animals and finishing fights. Manliness is defined by courage, honor, heart and faith. It's an inner strength that doesn't allow you to compromise your convictions, and it holds you together when everyone else is falling apart. Manliness is a beautiful combination of integrity, character, chivalry, and grit. A man will face storms, brave winds and swim upstream. A man is strong enough to fight in wars, gentle enough to cradle his newborn baby, and wise enough to both recognize and control the plethora of emotions that live in between these extremes. In the pages of this book you will be inspired by stories, quotes and thoughts on manhood from some of the great men who have come before you. Learn from their example, and you to will become a great man. While this book will inspire all men, it is especially geared toward young men wanting to learn what it means to be great men. With over 40 pictures, quotes and axioms from great men, this book will keep the interest of men of all ages. The 10 chapters include thoughts, stories and quotes on: grit, taking responsibility for yourself, honoring others, serving, integrity, confronting evil, honoring God, standing for truth, protecting the weaker, and using words wisely. The book also includes the Man's Manifesto Charge and a special message to dads. .
