description: AS TODAY POSTMODERN CULTURE seeks to redefine biblical morality, relationships have taken a serious hit, even within the Church. How does this redefinition affect men? From boyhood, to the teenage years, and on through mid-life and retirement, Whisker Rubs describes what men  in each of these stages of life are dealing with and the challenges they face. In some instances, men feel they cannot measure up to the expectations placed on them at work, in their marriages, or in their spiritual life. Fortunately they are answers, and these come together in the final section, "Reclaiming Masculinity." Whisker Rubs is filled with anecdotes, stories, interviews, and studies to bolster the thesis that men desperately want to have a blueprint for their masculine journey. SAMPLE CHAPTERS * Letting Boys Be Developing the masculine Identity * Little Boy Be Social Pressures to Tame Boys * Caught in the Teenage Boys Who Won't grow Up * Finding The Search to Belong * Middle-Aged The Last Stand * The Golden Is that All There Is? * How the Women's Movement Failed Men...and Women * The Myth of Embracing the Creator's Intent for the Sexes * Media How the Media Marginalizes Men and Fathers * What Do Men Need Most?
