"All Things Guy: A Guide to Becoming a Man that Matters" is 200 pages filled with information that every young Catholic boy should have at his fingertips. It is no wonder that "All Things Guy: A Guide to Becoming a Man that Matters"

everal months ago, a great book series entitled All Things Girl: Friends, Boys, and Getting Along came to my attention. Aimed at "tweenage" girls, the books tackle such sometimes-tough subjects as puberty, modesty, relationships, and simply just the joy of being a girl! As the mom of two teenage sons, I found myself wishing for a similar resource for young men. Our sons face popular cultural messages every day that fly in the face of the values and morals we hope to instill in them as they journey to manhood.

Apparently, I wasn't alone in my wishes. The outcry for All Things Guy: A Guide to Becoming a Man that Matters was so great that the authors simply couldn't avoid putting out a resource for boys. The book formula is slightly different this time around, with all of the content compiled into one longer book rather than the series approach that is so appealing to young girls. All Things Guy: A Guide to Becoming a Man that Matters is chock full of great content presented in a fashion that will appeals to boys. Mixed in with the messages on dignity, virtues, and becoming a "Man that Matters" are mazes, puzzles, games and activities that drive home the authors' points. I particularly enjoyed the "Media and Men that Matter" and "Know Your History" chapters. The book is aimed at readers ages 9 through thirteen, but could be read to younger boys under adult supervision and will also be enjoyed by older boys due to the depth of the content included.

I'm pleased to give All Things Guy: A Guide to Becoming a Man that Matters my highest recommendation.

"All Things Guy: A Guide to Becoming a Man that Matters" is 200 pages filled with information that every young Catholic boy should have at his fingertips.

All Things Guy is among the best. Don't let the opportunity to grow strong, faithful men slip by. Use this resource!" "All Things Guy" is a guide that both boys and parents love because it gives great foundational information regarding the Faith in a fun way with stories and facts that kids can sink their teeth into - all amidst bold B&W graphics, puzzles, and mazes. The sections include: Dignity; Virtues and More; Media and Men that Matter; Vocations; Family and Friends; Body; Know Your History; Boys in the Kitchen; Strong Catholic Men Today; and Basic Combat Training (building a prayer life).
