"What does it mean to be a man and a disciple? For too long, the Church's outreach and witness to men has suffered from a lack of coherence, vision, and zeal--a sad situation that has left too many men at the margins of the Church's missionary endeavors. Man Up! is evidence that a hope-filled change is in the making. Jared Zimmerer, with his "Man Up!" team, is boldly taking the lead into one of the great peripheries of the New Evangelization."

"Let us hope and pray that this book will play its part in inspiring a twenty-first century army of Catholic gentlemen...renaissance noble men who will lead a new resurrection."

"Behind many of today's crises lies a crisis of manhood. Our culture desperately needs men marked by virtue and strength. If you're a man who is tired of mediocrity, who craves greatness and wants to live a heroic and meaningful life, this book offers the best blueprint I know. Buy it for yourself, and for your sons, brothers, fathers, and friends. Then read it and emerge a more noble and masculine man."

"This book encourages men to become who they are--who they were created to be. Jared Zimmerer, and his extraordinary contributors, offer sage advice to a culture of men gone soft. I believe that it will contribute a significant amount to the renewal of authentic masculinity in the Church."
