Important books for boys to read

About the Topic:

Raising a son has always been tough, but boys are under attack today more than ever. The ordinary struggles, challenges, and perils that comes with raising boys are magnified by a multi-billion-dollar industry targeting our sons for porn addiction, a media that demeans and undermines the Catholic faith, and educators and culture leaders who treat masculinity as a disease or a psychosis. And too many dads feel frustrated, ill-equipped, or just unsure about stepping into their role of parenting pre-teen sons.

We talk about it in depth with Mike in this week’s episode.

He also has written several books, including an Amazon #1 seller:  Introduction to Kettlebells: A Minimalist’s Guide to Blasting Fat and Boosting Muscle.  A writer, entrepreneur, and “re-converted” Catholic, Pat focuses his efforts on helping others find happiness and wholeness through fitness, philosophy, and faith.
