New Book: Man for the Job

An announcement here that I wrote a new little book for young men called Man for the Job. Below is the preface.

You can pick up the paperback for $7 here.

And the Kindle version for $4 here.

Preface

This little book is an attempt to equip the rising generation of young men with truths they will need to rebuild our commonwealth. I trust that you already know that such a rebuild is necessary. If you are looking for a book on the fall of Western civilization, you will not find it here. But, if you have read enough of those books to be aware of our problem and would like to get on with the work of restoration, then this book has something to offer you. I do not offer a silver bullet. But I do offer you advice on the kind of men we need for the job at hand.

Within are ten fictional letters to a fictional nephew, each consisting of a directive for becoming the kind of man who can work with the sword and shovel. We need men who can both tear down strongholds and build the true, good, and beautiful amid the rubble. I have four sons of my own, four nephews, and I have the privilege of teaching high school seniors and college freshmen. As I look around at these young men, I see immense energy and loads of raw potential. We have many reasons to be hopeful about what these men may do for the health of our nation in the coming days.

But the task of each generation is to pass down the lessons of our fathers to our sons. Proverbs says that the glory of young men is their strength, and the splendor of old men is their gray head” (Proverbs 20:29). Unfortunately, I just passed my fortieth year which means I am not old enough to be wise nor young enough to be strong. So you will have to consider these lessons as coming from a middle man, simply passing down to the young bucks what I have learned from the gray heads thus far.

Sincerely yours,

Uncle Jared
