Welcome to the
Prove Thyself a Man
(PTM) website!
Clay and I (Andy) hope that you've enjoyed reading Prove Thyself a Man (PTM). If you have yet to read our book we invite you to do so. PTM is our attempt to articulate to our boys the hopes, dreams, and desires we have for them as they grow into manhood. Both of us have boys that face difficult health and life decisions and challenges - Clay's youngest son has Cystic Fibrosis and Andy's son has Cerebral Palsy. In fact, it was that simple fact that drew us together and served as the genesis for starting this project and writing this book.
We started writing PTM in the summer of 2006 and finished the book by January 2007. When we started this project we had no intention of publishing PTM; we just wanted to have something in writing to share with our boys, our families, and our friends. It was only after several positive comments about PTM did we even begin to think about the possibility of a larger audience.
Clay and I would like to thank you for reading PTM. Not only do we encourage you to implement the principles from PTM into your father-son relationship, we encourage you to share PTM with other fathers and spread the truth of pursuing true manhood!
