Testimonials
“This book has been a true blessing. Coming from a home with an absent father, I thought I had to figure it out all on my own. With these tools, I have confidence to be the father that I never had.”
“Every young man needs to read this book. There are so few good role-models out there these days. It’s like we’ve forgotten how to be good men. I look forward to discussing what I’ve learned so far and grow with my peers in this faith-filled community.”
“Ray breaks everything down into simple concepts that I found easy for me to interalize and implement into my life. Thank you! Let’s lift each other up!”
