I have found this book to be very lacking in helping men be men. My husband had a hard enough time growing and walking with God without hearing go be a "little boy", tear your family apart. This book has caused a extremely passive man to become even more passive with his family and more self centered. In fact we have 2 older teens. One in college one graduating high school this year. Our "man" is moving out today at my request. Our children love their dad very much but also have acknwledged "this is his fault".
