"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" has received endorsements from throughout the Catholic community including Al Kresta, President and CEO of Ave Maria Radio and father of four boys..."There are precious few resources out there for young men. 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).
This book is quite good in that it helps to reinforce guidance young men should ideally adhere to through a Catholic perspective. I will say that the book apparently did not go through a proper editing process (at least by a professional or qualified editor) as some of the grammar and spelling, particularly towards the beginning of the book, is lacking.
There is also a small section that I feel is quite antiquated and that is where the author says for boys to steer clear of and avoid girls who make the first move and show an interest in them first. I understand that chilvary still has its place to some degree but this isn't the 15th Century anymore and boys shouldn't be compelled to run off from a girl because she is the one who is exerting confidence and showing the initial interest in a boy.
Aside from these noted aspects, this is an overall quality book to read for younger male readers who are both Catholic and coming of age.
