Martin has considerable authority in the field of youth work.

Accessible, practical, honest, insightful, funny and vulnerable. This book will help many men (young and not so young) in their search for meaning and an authentic life that reflects the purpose of their creator. Martin doesn't shirk the tough questions but meets them head on with his usual combination of kindness, integrity and humour. * Mike Pilavachi *
Outstanding ... witty and wise ... a gift to the UK church. * Christianity Magazine *
I want every guy to read this book ... truly excellent. * Rachel Gardner, Director of National Work, Youthscape *
