A men’s counsellor since 1992, Keith Ashford has pondered what he terms “the male mosaic.” He has thought about the Soul. “Soul,” he says, “is man’s embryonic potential for divine work. If a man’s divinity isn’t ‘worked out,’ given worldly expression, it dies.” And so Ashford has written a book that gives his soul worldly expression—and invites us to do the same.
Ashford provides us with a buffet of tantalizing hints and clues such as, “The True Man suffers… he endures… he is tolerant… he is done with drama… he casts a shadow…” With the help of his friends—Krishnamurti, Gurdjieff, T.S. Eliot, Lao-tzu, St. Augustine, and many others—the author gives shape and substance to the mosaic that is the True Man.
