Christian Living, Men 

Most men resist close relationships with other men because they have been taught that distance provides safety. Closeness is a threat - it leaves them vulnerable, open. And when they do enter into a relationship with other men, it is usually to achieve a common goal - professionally, athletically, or in ministry. The relationship seldom extends with any depth outside the bounds of achieving the goal. No wonder so many men feel isolated - and lonely. But men don't have to live like this. In Shoulder to Shoulder, Rodney Cooper brings men face to face with their isolation and the hurt it causes them. He shows them how to break through the barriers of isolation and discover a dynamic experience of brotherhood. He gives them strategies for achieving strong, accountable relationships with other men - relationships that men need to live full, connected, satisfying lives. - from Amzon
