Seven virtues of manhood, framed by the martyrdom of Polycarp. Strong on raising sons, and readers split hard over the rite of passage chapter. Who it suits.

The Action Bible Faith in Action Edition: A Review for Dads

A comic style children's Bible for ages 8 to 12, drawn by a former Marvel and DC artist. Buy it for your kids, not yourself. What this edition adds.

The One Year Uncommon Life Daily Challenge by Tony Dungy: A Review

The Financial Peace University handbook in one volume. The debt and budgeting material is the real strength. Get a second opinion on the investing chapters.

The Fulfilled Family by John MacArthur: A Review
