“You
are going to die!” That is the opening line for this book. It sounds
like one of those books that talk at you and not with or to you. Well, I
was very wrong and I thank my dear friend and colleague Terese for
suggesting I read this book.Fr. Larry talks about his own personal life experiences while touching on the lives and writings of those in the scriptures. “Call no man father!” I hear this all the time from my non-Catholic but Christian friends and Fr. Larry describes issues such as this in a down to earth way. While providing a self examination when reading, it also reinforces core teachings with providing tasks and Q&R/Reflection summaries at the end of each chapter. I will debate with anyone that I am a man that stands up for what is right, what is wrong but I didn’t realize that while doing so, I could be doing more harm. Fr. Larry changed my way of thinking. Our actions do speak louder than words, therefore, what I say, do and live, not only affects me but others as well.
This book has helped me to see that there are many more ways to strive to be a saint. I would highly recommend this book to young or first time fathers but not limit it to just them. I believe that the power of the message in Be A Man! is strong enough to open the eyes of all people and help them move closer to Christ. Be a Man! is
