As a Catholic man, you are designed with a unique calling.
You are meant to guard and protect the most significant things in life, even to death. This calling is difficult. The only hope in achieving it, with the grace of God, is to live in true freedom.
In Pursuing Freedom: Becoming the Man You Could Be, Thomas Wurtz challenges Catholic men to find this freedom by embracing eight essential characteristics: the acknowledgement of the spiritual realm, a life of self-control, magnanimity, humility, resilience, surrender, commitment to mission, and, most of all, love. As you pursue these eight attributes, you will begin to achieve the freedom necessary to fully live the profound calling given to you. In this, you can become the man God made you to be.
