No theory. No polish.

Plain words for men who are done pretending.

The Battle Begins on Your Knees: A Prayer Book for Men

Book One · Where it starts

The Battle Begins on Your Knees

A Prayer Book for Men

It is not for the man who has it together.

It is for the man who is tired. The man who is losing ground. The man who hasn’t prayed in years and doesn’t know where to start.

Start here. On your knees. Before the day starts swinging.

Book Two · The Battle Begins on Your Knees

When Men Stand Firm

You got on your knees. Now hold the line.

Prayer for the long fight, when the answer is slow, the ground is muddy, and quitting starts to sound reasonable.

Standing still, on purpose, is most of the job.

From Trauma and Suicide to a Calm I Didn’t Earn and a Hope I Didn’t Expect
