Отрывок из книги
No, this is not a book about football, but it is a book about seeking out and finding a few special guys in your life that will “huddle up” with you when it’s 4th and Four in the game of life!
You see, I am what you would call a Baby Boomer, and I have lived a very interesting life. During my lifetime, I have had several experiences that have molded and shaped who I am and how I have lived my life. I’ve known the joy of truly being in love. I have experienced the sting of death in losing a loved one. I’ve lived in fear as cancer took away a vital part of my life as a young man, and I’ve wiped away tears of joy as I walked three daughters down the aisle of marriage. These experiences have given me the wisdom and inspiration to write this book.

Don’t answer immediately. I want you to really think about the question. Do you have a special relationship with one or more fellas that would have your back, regardless of the situation? Would they be there, not only to help you, but also to give you wise counsel and point you in the right direction if you needed it?
In the first few chapters of this book, I hope you will discover the importance of having special guys such as these in your life. If they are already there, then you are truly blessed. But if they’re not, I challenge you to take the first step towards finding and adding these guys to your inner circle of friends. Friendships with men of integrity, character, wisdom and grit can change the way you approach and live the rest of your life.
