Good Book

Hey bro. I am highly recommending this book. It's been out a little while but I hadn't read it until now. It is an easy read and quick. It's a non-fiction about a reporter, Jeffrey Marx, who spends a season with a high school football team coached by former NFL star Joe Ehrmann. What he learns is what so many men don't know - what it means to be a man.

You don't have to be a football enthusiast or even care about sports to identify with this book. Every man should read this book. Jumping off the pages are the things that most of our fathers never taught us. And what you will discover is that being a man is about the relationships you have - nothing more, nothing less.

The reality is that we are living in a fatherless nation. The divorce rate in this country is 50%. Also, 4 out of every 10 children are born out of wedlock (7 out of 10 amongst African Americans). What does this mean? More than ever our boys (and girls) are growing up with out fathers and they have no idea what it means to be a man. Scary.

If you are a male, read this book and get to work. There's a lot of work to do.
