Description

What is an authentic purpose of a man's life today? What does manhood have to do with purpose? How does a man discern the call of purpose? This is a book about the psychospiritual path to a meaningful, healthy and fulfilling manhood. It is written for any man who is starting to question his life's purpose. It is written for the man who, as he is climbing the ladder of success, is starting to realize that the ladder is on the wrong wall. Toward Manhood is about the inevitable crisis of meaning and life direction that most men in modern culture will ultimately face. This book is based on psychological and spiritual principles lost in the modern Western world that still endure after thousands of years. Using archetypal puberty initiation rituals that have always led toward a purposeful life Toward Manhood translates this indigenous practice into a modern understanding of healthy psychological and spiritual maturity. The old and the new come together in this book to create a modern model of manhood that is worthy of the inner pain and struggle it takes to brave the wilderness of the soul's identity.
