Big book. No pictures. A recipe for boredom for most youth-worker books, right? It was the honest stories Shaun and Marcus told of growing up that made these 10 lessons come to life.
Each lesson is divided into “man-sized” sections that easily could be used to program a meeting or retreat. Each chapter closes with a final thought and a place for the reader to continue developing his “man code.”
Chiseled takes the core values every male adolescent should have, making them easy for youth workers to teach yet challenging enough so young men will think twice about what real manhood is.
