Manhood Realities
INTRODUCTION
Our world desperately needs better MEN.
CURRENT MANHOOD REALITIES
-
Men are in a state of CONFUSION.
-
Men are experiencing a general disappointment with life.
-
Men are experiencing PAIN.
-
Men are lonely.
-
Men are DRIFTING.
-
Men are turning to escapes to numb the pain.
-
Confused men create major PROBLEMS. For example:
-
Recent statistics reveal that 90% of murders are committed by men. 88% of robberies are committed by men, and 75% of all people arrested are men.
-
Gender is the single best predictor of criminal behavior: men commit more crime, and women commit less. This distinction holds through history, for all societies, for all groups, and for nearly every crime category.
-
-
Without a compelling VISION for manhood, men will settle for less in life.
