Lucid and inspiring, Behold the Man is a unique exploration of Catholic spirituality for men. Much of the literature written for Catholic men focuses on topical issues such as fatherhood and sexuality. While this book does not exclude these subjects, it is the first to present a comprehensive picture of Catholic male spirituality.
What is authentic male Catholic spirituality? What distinguishes it from Protestant male spirituality? How does masculine spirituality complement feminine spirituality? These questions and many more are answered in this book.
Drawing from Scripture and Church teaching, the author roots Catholic male spirituality in a covenant relationship with God and the cross of Jesus Christ. He demonstrates that when a man embraces the cross he is truly able to be himself—the man that God created and calls him to be. Behold the Man can deepen a man's experience of Christ and help him to know the Lord more intimately.
"This is a theological and anthropological tour de force that champions authentic male spirituality for the men of our times."— Father Donald Calloway, M.I.C, Author, No Turning Back: A Witness to Mercy

We need to be Men of the Covenant, the Cross, & the Eucharist to serve and protect the others/Church By Dave McClow Deacon Harold is a force to be reckoned with when he speaks, and now he adds this book! This grand tour of male spirituality is deeper and wider than anything I am aware of. He integrates a vast array of Scriptures, Church documents, and the human experience. He includes all men, single or married, which is refreshing!The heartbeat of the book includes four things: 1) the covenant relationship with the Trinity, especially illumined by the spousal analogy, 2) the Cross as our model for suffering and living, 3) the work of men which is “to till” (Hebrew: *abad*), i.e., to serve; and “to keep” (Hebrew: *shamar*), i.e., to guard, protect, and defend, and 4) the Eucharist as the source and summit of male spirituality.Here is one sample regarding the Cross: “The Cross is the hermeneutic of male spirituality. It is only when we begin to understand the gift of vulnerability lived from the Cross that we will know what it means to be a man of God” (loc 299).This book is part Catechism, part kick-in-the-pants old and new evangelization, and part apologetics, but all of it will challenge you to know yourself (or your spouse) better and to grow in your knowing, loving, and serving God more! If you accept the challenge, the ripple effects will be felt by your friends, families, Church, and even in the culture.Certainly required reading for every Catholic man—especially those who lead, including seminarians, priests, and bishops!

A great gift for any Catholic man, not just husbands and fathers By Stuart Dunn When I was a Protestant, I remember there being books geared towards men. They focused on being a husband, being a father, and just being a better man. Though I was just in my late teens at the time, I remember reading those, because I wanted to be the best man I could be both now and in the future. Since, I became Catholic I have noticed that there is a lack of "male spirituality" books, but that trend seems to be changing, slowly but surely. In 2009, we had Fr. Larry Richards' book Be a Man! After that came the series of books Joseph's Way. Now, we have Behold the Man, from well known Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers.Deacon Harold begins his Introduction by telling us how rare the Catholic man is, and says it is Catholic men themselves who are responsible for their own destruction and extinction. He then provides an example from a raunchy television show, Two and a Half Men, to show just how far we have sunk. After this painful example, we are presented with statistics that show how much men shape their children's religious lives. He cites a study that shows us the importance of Catholic men going to Mass regularly. If we don't go regularly, it says that only 2-3% of children will attend regularly. That's pretty devastating. The book is then divided into eight chapters, which cover topics like Biblical Manhood, Covenant Relationships, Theology of the Body, and Fatherhood.Before diving into examples of Biblical Manhood, Deacon Harold reminds us that we need to understand Biblical context before dissecting a passage. In this chapter there is heavy focus on God the Father and the first family of Adam and Eve. He then dives into the meaning of covenants, how God's love is central in covenants, and how important marriage is. He tells us that it is so important that God Himself, Jesus, chose to be born into a covenant marriage. In the chapter on fatherhood, he begins by emphasizing the importance of the Mass and Eucharist, and how so many Catholic men view this Sunday obligation as a burden. He also tells us that as Catholic men, we must focus on Christ crucified and model our life after His life so that we can grow in love for God and our fellow man. The most interesting section on fatherhood compared our roles as fathers to Christ the King, Prophet, and Priest. As fathers, we must exhibit love-centered headship, servant-based leadership, and life-giving authority.Deacon Harold always speaks with passion and conviction, so it was refreshing to see that style reflected in his book Behold the Man. He was able to mix practical with scholarly and deliver a book that was a clear call to action to all Catholic men. He didn't just rely on his words though, he backed them up with copious notes and references to both Scripture and the Catechism. What is most refreshing about this book is that it is not just aimed at a specific type of Catholic man, i.e., a husband or a father. It is instead aimed at ALL Catholic men, both laity and religious; single and married. So if you are looking for a book for the man/men in your life, I'd strongly recommend this one.
