PREVIEW: Being a Man

The last post here was on the subject of valor, virtue and manly courage. If you don't think that these words are losing their meaning, try googling images of any of these words and see what you get.

The article above, a book review by Christina Hoff Sommers, who wrote The War Against Boys, is just wonderful in furthering our discussion. In fact, this topic is the underlying reason for the name of this blog: Loin Girders. It is my contention that masculinity has been driven underground, to dark places, when rather it should ascend to the bright high places of human virtue. If we can recover it, at its center, at its best, we will find a spiritual foundation in Jesus Christ. Let's look at this together by interacting with this article. You game? Gentlemen, gird your loins. Post.
