"Natural Manhood explores how men, particularly those locked in our prisons, need a complete overhaul with new thinking and a recognition that if we do not seek the divine in all our lives, we are unlikely to resolve the issues we face in a rapidly changing world.  What is needed is new thinking and a dose of ancient wisdom.  This book provides both."  (From the Foreword).

Natural Manhood was written for adult male prisoners.  It is presented in a dyslexia friendly format.  According to our research, 80% of male prisoners have some form of dyslexia, and around 75% have the reading ability of the average 11 year old child.  However, anyone interested in social science, in particular criminology and men's studies, will find Natural Manhood interesting.  This book also contains articles, poetry and illustrations.

Finally, Natural Manhood is a spiritual book.  Throughout there are references to body, mind and spirit.  To quote Thomas Merton (1915 - 1968):

"It is the silence of the world that is real.  Those who love their own noise are impatient for anything else.  They constantly defile the silence of the forests and the mountains and the sea.  It is the silence of the world that is real.  Our noise, our business, our purposes... these are the illusion."
