Soul of a Christian Man: A Scriptural Look at Spirituality

O'Malley, a writer of textbooks in Religious Studies, and a long time teacher of adolescent males, provides a text which makes a connection between biblical characters such as Moses, Abraham and Jesus and the four male types. This book would be helpful for anyone developing a retreat program for young men or for those interested in helping them make the bridge from the textbook into the world. It would especially benefit anyone whose curriculum has already introduced the students to the characters of the Bible. Along with the text, O'Malley proves a good number of questions for refelction which can be used to challenge our young people to think about what truly makes them a "success" in life and whether the role models they take from today's society (athletes, actors, politicians, businessmen, etc.) are truly worth embracing as role models.
