In a World in Need of Male Role Models,

Honor the Heroes Who Are

Story Behind the Book

We live in an age of fallen heroes. Corporate scandals, priests who sexually abuse children, television turning minds against family values. And yet against this disheartening backdrop, millions of today’s dads are quietly going about the business of fatherhood. Almost unnoticed, these men show the next generation that it is still possible to model masculine leadership in our wayward culture. They are the real heroes of the twenty-first century, and they deserve our encouragement more than ever before.
