Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When he was just a kid, author James A. Harrell Jr.’s parents divorced. As a youngster, he couldn’t understand why his father never came to see him or his brothers or provide sustenance for their well-being. Harrell spent many sleepless and tearful nights longing for his father. That pain became even more apparent when his father died in 2000. In the writings included in A Real Man Stands Tall, Harrell attempts to come to grips with this abandonment. He intimately shares what his life was like, and he offers scriptural-based testimony on the important role a father plays in the rearing of his children. A blend of fiction and nonfiction, Harrell offers poetry, narrative, and a collection of interviews to underscore a man’s responsibility to his family by spending quality time—depositing wisdom, knowledge, instruction, and understanding into their hearts. A Real Man Stands Tall encourages males to become better men, better husbands, and better fathers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to Deal with 21st Century American Women teaches men from all walks of life how to understand and adapt to the evolving male-female paradigm shift occurring at every level of American society. Today, women run companies, become school principles, military generals, police chiefs, corporation CEOs and dozens of other power positions where they make more money and give orders to male employees. Its no longer exclusively a mans world. Women compete for the highest job slots at colleges, governorships of states, Ph.D. programs and athletic money in professional sports. Where men once drove the car for dates, women demand equality in the work, family and social realm. Men need to slide over and share the driving with women. This enormous emotional, social and sexual shift in the Western world creates a new male-female relationship dynamic. This shift proves the first of its kind in human history. The new dynamic also creates incredible confusion, frustration and exasperation. Along the way, women want men to be men. They want a good man to marry and raise a family. But early in the 21st century, half of all marriages end in divorce. Male domestic violence continues at distressing levels. Weekend fathers explode on the emotional landscape. Children suffer the loss of structure, a balanced family unit and a sense of belonging. This book enlightens, educates and encourages men to maintain their masculinity while adapting and thriving in the new male-female paradigm of the 21st century. The book presents straight-forward ideas to men on how to deal with a 21st century American woman. This book shows men how to successfully marry the right woman for long-term success. It shows which women to avoid. The book creates new understandings to move men forward in relationships in the 21st century.
