Men of Grit and Grace: Daily Challenges for Men to Chew on

Life will throw you into the surf, saddle, or storm--ready or not. You can fight God, flee Him, or learn to ride the wave of His will like a man who knows what he's doing. This book is for men who are done drifting.

In these raw, hard-hitting Morning Man Meditations--one for every day of the year--Bear Woznick takes you into the spiritual life the way he's lived the other aspects of his life: all in, with both boots. Drawing on decades of extreme sports, brotherhood, fatherhood, and faith, Bear shows how real men face fear, failure, temptation, and responsibility--with courage and the determination to rise again.

These aren't sentimental reflections or polished saint stories. They're gritty, practical meditations rooted in the lives of the apostles and warrior-souled men who fell hard, got back up, and followed Christ into danger. Along the way, Bear blends Scripture, Church wisdom, philosophy, frontier grit, and cultural touchstones--from Aquinas to Aristotle, John Wayne to Louis L'Amour--into what he calls "beef jerky for the soul."

Inside, you'll discover how to:

• Become bold and decisive in doing God's will
• Rise after failure, like the apostles who became fearless witnesses
• Channel anger into strength, discipline, and perseverance
• Train for spiritual battle with clarity and purpose
• Sharpen virtue, cut away vice, and live with integrity
• Become the man your wife and children need you to be

As you grow in fortitude, prudence, temperance, and purity, you'll gain clarity about the mission God has placed on your heart, along with the courage to pursue it.

It's time to stop playing defense. So saddle up. Draw your sword. The adventure of God's will is calling.
