Sweat, Blood, & Tears: What God Uses to Make a Man - Paperback

by Xan Hood (Author)

By the time he graduated college, Xan Hood appeared to have everything a young, privileged modern male needed for success and adulthood.

But like so many others his age, he was afraid to take that next step. So he took a slight detour and headed west, surrounding himself wtih a class of men he had been raised to avoid. Follow Xan as he learns lessons that can only be taught by God's grace, hard work, and the presence of older men.

Sweat, Blood, and Tears is a searingly honest coming-of-age story. It is a look at how God raises a man--a story for young men and those who love them.
