Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
This book from the author of Tender Warrior shatters the myth that strong men stand alone. In a society where the very definition of manhood is called into question, rugged individualism leads men to dangerous isolation. Warriors for Christ seldom win their battles single-handedly: they need fellow soldiers to march and fight with them. Men become Godly husbands and fathers by walking with other men who share the same standards. This book encourages them to seek out brothers in Christ for direction and encouragement and to do together what no one could do alone.

This book starts out pretty good, with interesting illustrations to the concepts and ideas put forth (the milestone concept is very good), but pretty soon it becomes no more than a directed Bible study with Scriptural quotations trying to relate friendship with the church and how we all should be united. Very VERY disappointing. I was looking for some analysis of the importance of masculine friendship through an educated Christian perspective, and while some stories he uses are great, all I got was another glorified Bible study. Big let down...

This book would actually have been rated 3 1/2 stars - not quite a 4 star book.
The material is interesting and makes you think. It is an excellent book for a men's study if someone in the study will take time (before the study) to read the materials and prepare some questions. There are questions following each chapter but not all of them are really thought provoking ... some are but many are not.
I think the author missed a great opportunity with this book and could have been a much better book. He skimmed the service on many concepts that he could have really taken much further and asked some difficult questions but he didn't.
The most positive item in the book were what he calls the "4 mile posts of friendship". Very good stuff to read.
