Read about the lives of 10 men of faith to get insight into what it takes to live a life of faith. You'll join Catholic life coach Paul George in Holy Grit to reflect on some of the most challenging topics men face today, including as marriage, fatherhood, suffering, and finding meaning in order to identify growth opportunities and take actions towards achieving the life God has for you.
You may have developed a sense of what it means to be a man by seeing TV depictions of boxers, gangsters, cowboys, fighter pilots, and the quickest shot in the West. These fellas exhibited bravery, fortitude, and guts. Their resilience was admirable.
George recognises that a man's soul need more than just determination to find fulfilment; he must begin to put his faith in God and take the call to holiness seriously.
You, a man of the Catholic faith, will find in Holy Grit the anecdotes, questions, spiritual insights, and advice on mental health that will equip you to better serve your family, church, and community. George encourages you to think about the persons you like, such as Saints Maximilian Kolbe, Louis Martin, and John Paul II. George will guide you through an investigation of 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 presents a different saint and provides insights applicable to contemporary men, as well as thought-provoking questions, an action plan, and a prayer.
