Recommendations - Men, Meaning & Prayer
Why is Jeffrey's book so fun to read? Is it because I am a man-and my wife is a woman? There is a real man here, who has come through the rites of experience to say what he says, specifically to men, but loud enough for women of sompassion to verhear. Is his mission to serve or to teach? Both, and more. But I'm prejudiced. I have actually worked with this man. If God exists in the yearning for God, then this man years. His yearning has now become a printed gospel of elderhood, ours (men, woman, and everybody in-between) for the reading. Indulge yourself with the shadows, solitudes, ecstasies, mythologies of modern men, and mark well their ability to have faith, to forgive, and to reconcile.

We feel the author of this book as a good soul, struggling to move from the spirtual poverty that is the inheritance of American men, to the richer place promised and given by grieving, by prayer, and by sitting quietly in the woods or with elders. There is no formula here-just stories. I like all these tales very much.

I have never read a book quite like this and learned a great deal that helped me and I believe will help any man who picks up a copy. Like Jeffrey the man, the book is clear, heartfelt, and honest.
