From Wild Man to Wise Man: Reflections on Male Spirituality Customer Review: One of the best on male spirituality
I’ve ordered multiple copies to share with others, and am giving a copy to my grandson who just turned 15.
Customer Review: Rarely Spoken Truth
Rohr gives that hard to hear Gospel construct of spirituality that challenges us to accept who we are and not sacrifice our “True Self” to be “one-up” on the next person, or richer, or better; we are challenged to give up judgement for acceptance; we are challenged to follow the core tenet of Christ’s teaching (and the Buddha’s, for that matter) that we choose compassion over competition — Win/Win brings more to self and the world that the traditional societal false premise of win/lose. It takes significant courage and honor, typical male virtues, to follow the heart over the dictates of culture and society. Although written for men, the message is clearly applicable to the modern woman

Faith of My Fathers: A Family Memoir This deeply felt memoir by one of this country’s most admired leaders tells the story of three generations of an American military family. The grandson and son of two of the U.S. Navy’s most revered commanders, Senator John McCain shows how this legacy of military service and courage helped prepare him for the biggest challenge of his life when, as a naval aviator, he was shot down over Hanoi in 1967 and seriously injured. When his captors realized McCain’s identity, they offered him early release. In what has now become a legendary act of heroism, McCain refused the offer and was subsequently tortured, held in solitary confinement, and imprisoned for more than five years.

Faith of My Fathers is about what McCain learned from his father and grandfather, and how their example enabled him to survive. Told with humility, grace, and humor, it is a story of three imperfect men who faced adversity and emerged with their honor intact. It is a story to inspire and instruct, one that shows what fathers give to their sons, and what, ultimately, endures.
Customer Review: Hearing his story
I bought the audio cd version of this book. To listen to John McCanin tell the story of his life, in his own words, gave me insight into this man. The inflection of words the words most important to him, was worth the price of the book.
Whether or not you agree with his politics, this tells what makes him tick.
Customer Review: McCain’s Earliest Memories Say It All
John Sydney McCain, III, the presumptive Republican nominee for President of the United States in the upcoming 2008 presidential election, penned Faith of My Fathers: A Family Memoir, along with Mark Salter (1999). I purchased the book in March of 2008 to learn more about McCain based on his early memories.

Customer Review: Definitely “for Dummies”
I’ve read several “for Dummies” books, and in general the entire series is well written, concise, and gives you what you really need. However, I was very disappointed in this one. The book is really dedicated to the three methods of building wealth: equity (stocks, mutual funds, etc.), real estate, and small business. But there isn’t enough info on any of the three subjects to do much with. You’re better off getting a separate book on real estate if you plan on pursuing that. And nothing he says regarding small business is of much use to accomplish anything. That leaves stocks, bonds and mutual funds, which is what most users would purchase this book for. Regarding that, if you are completely new to mutual funds then this is the book for you as it will explain the basics. However, if you are beyond the very basics (i.e.; “What is a mutual fund?”), and are looking to seriously invest, then I think you’ll be disappointed. And if you are looking to get into buying stocks directly, then this book seriously falls short. The entire section on stocks really just explains a canned stock report from a given company. Utterly useless unless you plan on subscribing to that service. No talk of forward PE’s, valuation, etc.. Also, the author’s continual insistence that you should stay in mutual funds because you “can’t beat the market” since there are so many pros out there is utterly ridiculous. There are many gurus out there that have proven track records of generating higher than average returns. Just emulating Warren Buffet’s portfolio will do that.
