2.  Get some background info

Below is a link to download an e-book that is important for you to read.  It is an overview of what the Fight is all about and most importantly the history of manhood and how we got to this point in the first place.  It is imperative that you read it from beginning to end.  That may sound a little legalistic but its not.  Since this ministry and program are so different from any other, it is important that you really understand, at least from a "30,000 foot level" what the Fight for Manhood encompasses.  

I know - another thing to read when you haven't finished the other books you've started plus the work stuff you need to read too.  Remember, we all are in the same boat so we wouldn't ask you to read it if it wasn't important.  If you finish it and think it was a waste of time you have permission to punch any one of us in the face.  But just one shot, not two.  Once you are done then its time for step 3.  

Go ahead and download it here to get started.  If you still aren't sure then here is a brief outline to let you know what its about.
