Book Review: John and Samuel Eldredge's Killing Lions

There are a lot of books coming out geared toward men and masculinity. It makes sense that more authors would chart out this territory as "self-help" books had long been one where women were the primary buyers. My only question is it women hoping men will read these books buying them, women reading them then telling men what they said, or men actually reading them? Regardless they are bound to start a conversation, and if you're looking to start a conversation with you're older son this just might be the book.

Summary: Men are faced with challenges nowadays as the tide of roles in relationships shift, and jobs are harder to find that can provide for a family. This book isn't laid out in a way to read like a self help book though. Instead it reads like a conversation between John and Sam, father and son, so you feel like you are taking part in a real conversation you might hope to take with your father or your son. It brings up honest topics, and real issues that men might find themselves in as they transition into manhood.
