A man needs another man to talk to him about the deep stuff... Todd Stahl is that man, and 40 Days in the Man Cave is that straight talk. It's clear, fair, honest, and true. Have a listen yourself.Mark BuchananAuthor of Your Church is Too SafeAppreciate Todd's efforts in challenging guys to be quiet and still each day, to pause and reflect and listen, then make adjustments and move ahead with energy and excitement for what lies ahead. Mark OsborneFormer 14 year NHL player, current Hockey Ministries International NHL repGuys, we all know life is crazy busy. We can be inundated with tasks, jobs, commitments, and activities. The truth is, men need to find a place to get away, chill out, and reenergize. Wherever your man cave may be, carve out a few minutes each day to refuel in it. To be healthy both emotionally and spiritually, we need food. Guys love to eat! Spiritual food for our mind and soul is as vital as food for our body. If Joe "Jaws" Chestnut can eat sixty-six hot dogs in twelve minutes to win a hot dog eating contest, I challenge you to give God the same amount of time to read one of these devotions each day in your man cave.

On a bitterly cold day at thirty-five years of age, Saskia Hommes discovers a heart-stopping truth about her identity. Saskia lived a privileged life. It was a life that looked perfect to the outside observer. In reality, it was filled with sadness, alcoholism, domestic dysfunction, and pain. As a teenager, Saskia became intrigued by the events of the Second World War. Having her interest piqued, her attention turned to the activities of her own parents during the war. Her questions about their activity went largely unanswered and opened a dark hole of mystery to Saskia, who was desperate only to know the truth. Nothing could have prepared her for the answers she found.
