Discover what it means to become a man of faith through the lives of ten male saints and their experiences pursuing holiness. In Holy Grit, you'll join Catholic life coach Paul George to consider some of the tough issues facing men today--struggles in marriage, parenting, suffering, and finding purpose--to determine areas for growth and take steps toward living the life for which God created you. You might have grown up with an image of masculinity defined by tough guys on TV--boxers, gangsters, cowboys, fighter pilots, the fastest gun in the West. These guys had courage, backbone, and guts. They had grit. "As a man, I know the struggles of living a manly existence. It is one I deal with daily," George writes. "I'm no expert, but I'm a gritty guy, like you, grinding it out on my journey." But George admits that grit isn't enough to satisfy the longing in a man's soul: you have to start trusting God and taking seriously the call to be holy. Holy Grit is rich in personal stories, thought-provoking questions, spiritual insights, and mental health tips that help Catholic men like you build the spiritual foundation you need to serve your family, parish, and community. George invites you to examine how saints such as Maximilian Kolbe, Louis Martin, and John Paul II understood themselves as men. Learning from the lessons of the saints, George will help you explore how to: * overcome vice with St. Augustine; * pursue God through your habits with St. Thomas More; * experience God's healing power with St. Padre Pio; * surrender to the will of God with St. Peter; and * develop daily discipline with St. Paul. Each chapter introduces a saint, offers practical takeaways for modern men, and includes reflection questions, an action plan, and a prayer.
