CHRISTIANS ONLY - Not for secular families or those of other faiths
by Amazon Customer (2 out of 5 stars)
July 7, 2017

Have glanced through this book and it is filled with christian instructions and references. For instance the "How to Network" section has a half page on how to say hello, ask questions to determine interests, and then to connect your friends with each other, and then another half page on why the guy who is good at it cares about networking so he can introduce people to "the most important man in the world - Jesus Christ." Um....I did NOT want to order a religious book. Same thing with lots of references to having strong faith, etc. Also very focused on heterosexual relationships "men and women were CREATED to be the perfect pair" etc. I'm sure there are more, but I found those two in just a few seconds of flipping through. I expected a more traditional/stereotypical tongue-in-cheeck "manly" guide so I dont' mind the gender stereotypes, but the religious references need to be part of the branding. "A Christian's guy's Manual to Manhood" would be more accurate. As for the actual advice it is pretty good but also pretty basic. How to wear cologne. Step 1. Buy cologne. Step 2. Open Cologne. Step 3. Spray cologne (3 pumps max) Step 4. Close cologne.

My son loves it :)
by Amazon Customer (5 out of 5 stars)

I bought this for my 13 year old son for Christmas. He loves it!! I am a single parent and my son's father is not in the picture. This book is great for my son to be able to read about things he is always asking me about. Some of the things in the book he won't need to learn about until he is older, but that is great because I feel like the book will grow with him. This is a great book for single moms and their sons.

I Book every young man needs to read
by eric m (5 out of 5 stars)
August 1, 2018

This a great book to give to teens and even 20 somethings at home still. It is a little like a scout handbook. It has a series of tasks and basic skills men should know. They are simple and seem a little silly or no-brainers but it is amazing how much confidence and self-esteem can be raised having completed the book. As someone who is a long way from even 20 somethings, it is satisfying reading through the book and saying Yup know that one. Things like how to tie a necktie, change a flat tire, are a couple of them to give you an idea.

Great reference guide...
by AngelMC (5 out of 5 stars)

I purchased this as a Christmas gift for my teenager (or maybe for his 16th birthday the month after, I'm undecided at the moment). It arrived today in perfect condition, not a crease in the cover or pages. I flipped through it a bit, and I'm pretty satisfied with the straightforward content. I think he'll like it, too. Win, win.

great book for the young adult

i bought this book for my younger brother kind of as a welcome to manhood gift. i read through it before i gave ti to him and it actually has quite a bit of good knowledge inside. its not really written in a way that someone would read the entire book and i doubt if he gets a flat tire he will find his manhood book to learn how to change it but still it is a fitting gift and im happy with the purchase .

Fun and informative read!
by Jaime (5 out of 5 stars)

This book was perfect for my 15-year-old nephew. Great advice, and how-to's and lessons. Upon opening it, he was a bit sheepishly embarrassed about it, but later I saw him looking through it, and he said he could tell he was going to enjoy it. My adult brother also said he wanted to look at it, so maybe it is a good book for men of all ages! Fun and informative read!

I love that the author is a christian author. I bought this for my brother for his 18th birthday and he thinks it is an even mixture of humor, seriousness, and advice that is actually helpful. The contents seemed to fit his personality and so far, he's enjoyed reading it.

Tips for young men
by Beth Moore (5 out of 5 stars)
July 12, 2017

Gift for grandson at graduation. Looked like it contained quite a few tips that might seem to be common knowledge but are not always taught to young men these days. As he heads off to college and living on his own for the first time I hope it will give him a few pointers so he won't have to rely on "advice" from some of his peers who know even less than he does. One can hope.

... his 13th birthday and he said "This is the best present of the night
by J Cler (5 out of 5 stars)

I gave this to my friend's son for his 13th birthday and he said "This is the best present of the night!" He and his friends thought that it was funny to look through it and find funny parts and the parents thought that it was a great idea. Later, I heard that the 13 year old read the book cover to cover and really enjoyed it. He said he "studied it!"
