Your journey toward authentic manhood begins here. Many young men today long for direction and purpose. Fathers often feel the weight of responsibility but wonder how best to guide their sons. At the core of both concerns is a deeper question: What does it mean to be a godly man―and how do I become one? In A Man on Purpose: 10 Rules of Life from a Faithful Father: Choosing Courage and Chasing Adventure , Pete Burak―vice president of Renewal Ministries and Franciscan University of Steubenville graduate―offers a bold, faith-filled road map to becoming an authentically Catholic man. Rooted in what is eternal, authentic manhood flourishes in the strength and love found in the heart of God the Father. Through funny stories, practical wisdom, and lessons he learned from his own father―a normal guy who lived an extraordinary fatherhood―Burak unpacks ten timeless principles that shaped him as a man, husband, and father―and that will inspire readers to embrace their own call to manhood. This is more than a book. It’s a call to action―for young men searching for clarity and courage, fathers striving to lead with love and strength, and mothers seeking insight into raising sons who make the world a better, more holy place.  Discover the lessons that stuck with Burak the most―all of which came from his father’s unforgettable maxims, including: “ Who are you?” Learn to live with a God-centered vision that shapes identity and purpose. - “If you lead, they will follow.” Use your gifts with humility, confidence, and gratitude to God. - “Will you forgive me?” Embrace forgiveness as the path to freedom and healthy relationships. - “Always touch the water!” Turn failure into a stepping stone to growth and resilience. - “Just don’t get arrested!” Build brotherhood and accountability through Christ-centered community. - “What’s the Holy Spirit telling you?” Trust God’s will as a source of hope, not fear. - “Be a good man, not a nice guy!” Cultivate courage, prudence, and temperance to face life’s challenges. The world is longing for men who live with integrity, faith, and holy conviction. You don’t need to be perfect to strive for greatness―you only need to be present, intentional, and rooted in truth. A Man on Purpose will equip you to walk with courage, pursue virtue, and step boldly into the life God has called you to lead. “Every man longs for a father who can teach him what it means to be a man, a true man who lives with purpose and freedom. In A Man on Purpose , Pete Burak shares powerful lessons not only from his own father but, more importantly, from God the Father. This book is a profound guide for men to discover or rediscover their true identity and calling as God’s beloved sons. From the introduction to the conclusion, Pete’s words led me further into the heart of God, connecting with my deepest desire to know my heavenly Father and my mission in life.” Paul George Author of Holy Grit: A Saintly Guide to Becoming a Man of Virtue   “I’m grateful for this wisdom-filled book from Pete Burak.
