Positive Messages

What happens during your first seven years leaves you with scars that can take forever to heal. If you’ve been abandoned by either of your parents, for whatever reasons, you’ve been scarred by imbalance. Your psyche, the gateway to your will and the dooryard to your self-esteem, has been cluttered with cumbersome obstacles. How you overcome them is supposedly your own personal challenge. Many a grown man will not advise another male child for fear of having to be too candid and honest. For hard-learned wisdom is also laced with the shame of confession. But Marc Anthony Butcher has taken care of that hurdle for you with his own honesty. Thus, this book is a blessing. A refreshing, frank and thought-provoking collection of solid advice for all young men in need of direction and focus, especially those, who like Marc, did not grow up in their father’s presence. Parents, relatives and friends who may not know quite where to start with those needed talks will find this book most useful. The range of topics and advice offered here are consistent enough to serve as solid base for good discussion. But Marc’s approach is not just about sex education, religious and ethical instruction, or about lying, cheating and following the wrong crowd; this book is inundated with care and concern and with practical guidelines for living life fully. Not one entry is dry or puritanical, but earthy and real. The author’s focus is on the need to communicate, and he does it with such sensitivity that you can’t help but feel good about having read it and wanting to share it.
