Reviews"This is a theological and anthropological tour de force that champions authentic male spirituality for the men of our times." -- Father Donald Calloway, M.I.C, Author, No Turning Back: A Witness to Mercy "I know of no better presentation of masculine spirituality that balances authentic theology with practical application for the lives of real Catholic men." -- Tim Staples , Catholic Answers "A highly readable book. A marvelous work for any man striving to live an authentic spirituality, which also addresses the major hot button issues of today." -- Father Brian Mullady, O.P. , Author, Preacher, EWTN Host "The biggest crisis facing the Church today is the crisis of authentic manhood. This book addresses virtually every issue that a Catholic man will face, especially the interior life." -- Jesse Romero , Catholic Evangelist and Radio Host
SynopsisLucid 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 of the most unique books ever written for Catholic men. Both lucid and inspiring, Behold the Man is a powerful journey into the heart and soul of a man. Much of the literature written for Catholic men focuses on topical issues such as fatherhood, virtue, sexuality, prayer, etc. Never before has a book presented a comprehensive picture of what Catholic male spirituality truly is. What makes Catholic male spirituality truly authentic? What distinguishes a Catholic man from a Protestant man? How does masculine spirituality compliment feminine spirituality? These questions and many more are answered in this book. Unparalleled in its scope and depth, Behold the Man goes straight to the heart of Catholic masculine identity, drawing from Scriptural and magisterial sources that root male spirituality in a covenant relationship with God and the cross of Jesus Christ. It is when a man lives his spirituality from the cross that he is truly able to be himself the man that God created and calls him to be. It is within this context that Behold the Man explores male spirituality as it flows and draws life from the pierced heart of Christ. Like an intricate tapestry, this book weaves together the theological and practical as the author examines how a Catholic man is formed within the timeless struggle between sin and forgiveness, and the tension between truth and freedom that shape his manhood. No stone is left unturned. Whether you are married or single, a priest in a parish or a father in the domestic church, whether you are on fire for the faith or searching for answers, this book is for you! This book will deepen a man s experience of Christ where he will come to know the Lord intimately and personally. He will take his faith to the next level, and begin to live that faith with greater passion and conviction than ever before. Behold the Man is the new benchmark that serves as a platform for a more sustained discussion on the meaning of the Catholic man in the life of the Church and the culture."
