The Barbarian Way

I like this book.  It was very interesting.  I did not like the title or how it applied the word barbarian.  When I think barbarian, I think about the beginning of Gladiator when the barbarian holds the cut off head of the dude he just killed and starts screaming.  I love the ideas presented in this book.  I appreciated the way McManus references his relationship with his daughter and son.  I think he does a great job communicating the miscommunications between generations.  I love his writing style.  McManus does a good job referencing scripture and pointing out how people in the bible lived.  I agree with the idea that we try to water men down.  Society doesn't allow men to be men.  Churches don't allow men to be men.  There is something great about it when men are men.  When we get to fight for things that are worth fighting for on a daily basis.  Like I said, I did not appreciate McManus's use of the term "Barbarian", but I did like the book a lot.  He definitely spoke well to how men should act.  How men should not care what limitations society has placed on us.  Men should only be concerned about the limitations that the Lord has placed on them.
