"Natural Manhood explores how men, particularly those locked in our prisons, need a complete overhaul with new thinking and a recognition that if we do not seek the divine in all our lives, we are unlikely to resolve the issues we face in a rapidly changing world. What is needed is new thinking and a dose of ancient wisdom. This book provides both." (from the Forward.)
