Book Review: Malestrom: Manhood Swept into the Currents of a Changing World
By: Vicki Scheib | October 31, 2015
After years of leading an identity formation group for women, I was asked to create a similar process for men.

I picked up Amy Davis Abdallah’s The Book of Womanhood with some trepidation.

So while I was interested in hearing what the book had to say, I was pretty certain [...]
