In western society it is looked down upon to be a man. TV shows men as hormonal blithering idiots who cannot think or speak complete sentences. Fortunately there is always a woman to set him straight and save the day. Real men are determined by how much they drink or how many women they bed.
The medieval custom of knighthood offers a unique approach to shaping a boy into a man. In those days, lads were trained from an early age, being quipped with a masculine vision, a code of conduct, and a cause in which to invest their lives. Ceremonies were held in their honor, celebrating the boys’ progress. Objectives were set, goals achieved, and along the way, these boys became men. (a must read, “Raising a Modern-Day Knight,” by Robert Lewis…worth the read).
What men in western society are experiencing today was summed up best by C.S. Lewis when he stated modernist”castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful.”
Keep up the good work AOM.

Not sure why you picked salmon or shrimp as a color. is it real men are not afraid of color? Color often define who we are and are cues to what or who we are comfortable with including self. My guess you want your audience to already be comfortable with their self and improve upon manliness with the book.
Would like to know what your thinking.
Amateur color psychologist,

Seems a little redundant.

The Manvotionals have always been my favorite part of this site. Well…Manvotionals probably tie for 1st with the Lessons in Manliness articles. Still, this is exciting!

Thanks for all the work you put into this site Brett and Kate!
