What People Are Saying About The Man-Making Book

     In this book, Earl Hipp has taken a bold step into closing the gap that separates many generations of males. He reminds men of the knowledge and wisdom they already possess that make them natural man-makers. The book shows us that even with the simplest of actions, men can direct and powerfully affirm young male lives. When that happens, everyone wins . . . boys are blessed, men are fulfilled, and our communities become better places. I feel all men should read and then apply this collection of wisdom in support of the young men in their lives.

     Congratulations on writing a fine book. What I liked most is your way of presenting the issues and teaming them with practical examples and quotes. I would love to see every man read your book so more men will rise to this important challenge. I think your book can serve as a standard and guide for men interested in helping boys become men.

     Nice work Earl! Your book clearly shows the importance of guidance, positive influence, and healthy role modeling in a young man's upbringing. There is a tremendous need for male mentors with so many of today's youth, that anyone can benefit from your book. If you're a man, what are you waiting for? Read it and learn about the many ways you can mentor and make a difference.

     I am currently enjoying your Man Making book — great stuff! At the next board meeting of the Tasmanian Men's Health and Wellbeing Association, I am going to suggest that this book be compulsory reading for our MENtors-in-training. Thanks for a great book mate.

     As the Executive Director of the Boys to Men Mentoring Network I thank you for your great book. It puts out the much needed call to men to become a part of boy’s lives. I see the need for male guidance in the eyes of every boy I meet. I also see the positive changes in men when they give their gifts to our boys. I hope your book inspires men to step forward for the boys, and empower themselves as men. As you so rightly say, “the boys are waiting.”

     I found Man-Making to be informative, encouraging, and very hopeful. The book clearly shows just how critical it is for young men to have caring, positive, older males as an integral part of their upbringing. It also confirms and validates the work my men’s group is doing with troubled youth here in New Jersey. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to know more about men, boys, and "the making of a man."

     Every page of Man-Making advances the author’s goals of moving men toward preparedness and willingness to make men out of boys. . . Earl Hipp has done us all a huge service with this modest yet powerful and potentially life-changing book. If you’re an adult male, please read it, and then, if you are not already involved somehow, get to work man-making!

     I had an informal, big-brother type relationship with a boy named Jason. I had very mixed feelings about my mentorship of him. I wish I had a book like yours back then to have helped me navigate. After reading your book, I'm going to reconnect with him to see what's up, and I'm going to try to have more contact with my two grand nephews. Thanks for your wonderful and motivational book.
