For those of you who have read this excellent book - please go on to Amazon and post a review and for those of you who have not yet had a chance to read this outstanding, engaging, humorous and humbling book I highly recommend it.
The epigraph to Knight Vision is by Oswald Chambers, who said, “If your religion does not make you a better man it is a rotten religion.” This collection of talks given by chaplain Paul Jefferies to the cadets at St. John’s Northwestern Military Academy from 2009-2011 are a direct answer to Oswald Chambers’ challenge. All center around this single theme: Manhood, and how our understanding of God informs it. What does it mean to be a man? What can we learn from the lives of great men? What does Virtue look like today? What is God calling us to? These are the central questions in this insightful and hearty collection of talks, and are as applicable to the teens, still on their road to manhood, as they are to men of any age seeking to discover in their own lives what the powerful calling of manhood can mean.
