A Guy's Guide To Life - Book Review

"A Guy's Guide To Life" subtitle "How To Become A Man In 224 pages or less" was written by Jason Boyett. It was written by teenage guys. I really enjoyed the book as the author has a good sense of humor which you would need in writing and reading such a book. He kept me chuckling throughout the book.

The book has many practical tips such as:
How to shave
How to tie a necktie
How to communicate (even with girls)
How to build and bulk up your faith.

The author answers questions young men have but would never ask out loud. I found myself agreeing almost all the time with his answers. I amgoing to encourage my teenage sons to read it and then keep it as a guide for the practical tips and advise it gives.

The book is divided into three parts: The mind, the body, and the soul.

I appreciated to author's honesty in saying that becoming a man is a lifelong journey, but this book certainly makes it interesting and less confusing.

In the end, Jason puts the emphaise of life where it needs to be, on Jesus. As a Christian, I feel that is where it needs to be. Each indivual must put his own faith there.
