Men: Firing Through all of Life
Description
- Henry David Thoreau
If he was right 150 years ago in his assessment of how many of us live, it's surely even truer today. Why does this happen to us? Does it have to be this way? Are there any answers?
This is a book for men asking questions...
What is life all about? How did I get here? What do I do with the rest of my life? Where exactly did my 30's or 40's go? How come every day seems the same?
Questions about marriage and family, and jobs, and success and failure, and God, are the ones that life has a tendency to throw up at us, sometimes unexpectedly.
Asking the questions is a good thing, but how about the answers. Sometimes the wrong reactions to life's questions have disastrous results for our lives and for the lives of others.
This is a book for men who want to fix something.
Al Stewart has written a book that talks about problems and offers solutions. Some of them are just suggestions from a very ordinary middle-aged punter, but some of the advice will come with a lot more weight, wisdom and authority, becuase it comes from the Bible.

Customer Reviews
Brilliant for 'not yet believing' blokes having a mid-life crisis!
I bought this book after listening to Al Stewart and he reminded me of my brother-in-law who is caught between a rock and a hard place. I sent it to him without reading it, and he responded immediately, having read it cover-to-cover in one go. He thought it well written and could identify with it. He was so pleased to read he wasn't the only one going through what he was going through. I then gave one to his two brothers and I read it myself as a means of trying to understand what he might be going through. It has helped us all communicate with him. Lastly, I have forwarded it to his wife in the hope that she may find some answers to his dilemma too. Interestingly, despite a lovely foundation on the Bible, my brother-in-law didn't baulk at this, and I'm delighted to say he is now seeking further guidance from churches wherever he goes. So many thanks to the author for what has turned out to be a key to unlock this dear soul..... ![]()
