Stand Firm, Be Strong

Some Catholic devotional books written specifically for men feature excerpts from Scripture, while others focus on quotes from the saints. But this book is different: it includes daily reflections that comprise both Scripture and saint quotes along with a relevant meditation meant to jump-start and strengthen a man's spiritual life over the course of six months.

Popular speaker and author Fr. Wade Menezes, CPM, of the Fathers of Mercy, penned these rich, practical reflections for men of every vocation. His tight, powerpacked pages offer achievable resolutions and prudent advice on attaining your goals in everyday living.

The timely wisdom of this book will help you cultivate virtue and root out vice, preparing you to:

Fr. Menezes also incorporates key traditional prayers and litanies for weekly devotions and provides helpful cross-references for personal and group use. This daily spiritual manual will help you grow in knowledge of your faith and gain strength for spiritual battle to more fully become the man you were created and called to be.
