What is in this book is shared from a married man's perspective, but men and women from 18 to 80, single and separated alike can learn from it, if they want to. Growing up is a journey through all of the known and unknown obstacles of life, the ups and downs, the planned and unplanned, the hurtful and the humorous. All of these things together can make us what or who we are, but we can still be childish, stubborn, angry, vacillating, discouraged, and thoughtless even when we think we are being thoughtful, which ends up being thoughtless, because we thought wrongly. Or, along the way we can see the need for change so that, by the grace of God, we can be better and really grow up and find that balance in our lives that makes us strong, wise, compassionate, and useful to our families, friends, communities and the world. Come along with the writer and take a look at some of his crazy past and present and, maybe you too will see that you really need to get a handle on life, and grow up! (Hey! The author says he is still in need of a daily boost in the backside to stir some growth).
