Stepping Up

the long version

What's the most courageous thing you've ever done? As men, all of us face decisions in life that demand courage. Big or little, complex or straightforward, these choices -- let's call them battles -- matter a great deal. One courageous choice leads to another; tomorrow's integrity depends on today's bravery. Renowned author, speaker, and radio host Dennis Rainey tackles head-on the call to living, breathing manhood, offering a powerful vision for what it means to be a man who truly conquers and wins. In ways both candid and inspiring, he beckons men in any field and any life stage with stirring conviction, practical insight, and moving accounts of bold heroes. Rainey identifies five stages of a man's journey through life -- boyhood, adolescence, manhood, mentor, and patriarch -- and examines a man's responsibilities at each step. He calls all men to action, to duty, to courage. Ultimately, you'll be encouraged to be the man on your battlefield. - Back cover.
