Today's teenage boys and young men desperately need encouragement. Ironically, many need both an arm around the shoulder and a proverbial kick in the butt; both affirmation and challenge, and they need it from voices that acknowledge their emotional complexity while not apologizing for their intrinsic maleness.In A Path to Manhood, author Paul Cumbo draws on his two-decades-plus experience of teaching, coaching, and mentoring teenage boys and young men to deliver concise, relatable messages on the pursuit of virtuous living. By eschewing the reductive depictions of masculinity in traditional culture, readers will better learn how to use personal strength for the betterment of themselves and others.With compassion and conviction, Cumbo explores self-knowledge, friendship, education, finance, vocation, health, habits, love, marriage, faith, and fatherhood. While addressed directly to young guys themselves, the book will resonate with their parents, teachers, coaches, and mentors.Combining skilled storytelling, a keen understanding of masculinity, practical spirituality, an inclusive attitude, and good-natured humor, A Path to Manhood invites today's young men to take an honest look at themselves, practice discernment, and make thoughtful decisions and takes readers on a compelling journey of the mind and heart.

Ghosts of Glencoe is a riveting multi-generational adventure of self-discovery. The novel spans a mere four months, set at a unique junior boarding school, and played out in the rugged Adirondack mountains of New York.This is a hero's journey for two flawed protagonists, one fifteen, the other sixty-three. Both struggle to be accountable to themselves and to those who love them, for their hubris, betrayals, for the shadows they created and still carry. In their tortuous path to absolution, both discover one is never too young to teach, nor too old to learn.In the fall of 2002, dramatic events engulf three ninth graders (not the best of friends), their passionate Scottish headmaster, and an unlikely pair of escapees from a nearby prison. The inevitable collision of these forces demonstrates that age and experience have no monopoly on bravery or vulnerability. Only after superficial differences are peeled away can the teens summon the strength to find common ground to confront their frailties under the most trying conditions--lost in the snowy mountains with rescuers urgently trying to find them and the convicts desperately plotting to eliminate them.A page-turning adventure set in wilderness that is as much a factor as the characters themselves, Ghosts of Glencoe entertains, educates, and illustrates how the mountaineering mantra--Fellowship of the Rope--embodies the imperative that if we don't hang together, we will surely hang alone.
