In February 2018, the Good Weekend cover story by David Leser 'Women, Men and the Whole Damn Thing', became one of the most talked-about and widely praised articles of the year. With an unprecedented response from readers both in Australia and around the world urging him to expand his story – this is the water-cooler book of the #MeToo era.

But none of it works. Because only one thing will bring us the joy, peace, purpose, and significance we desire: a relationship with the God of heaven. An intimate relationship, one that is real and true. But for that kind of relationship, we must embark on a journey to encounter him personally. In his new book Odyssey, Justin Camp offers a practical, scriptural field guide for men who are ready to walk this ancient path. The book is built around six short biographies, real-life stories of great American astronauts.

"Does Anybody Give a F*ck About an Alpha Male?" is a bold exploration of modern masculinity, authored by David Lamar. In this thought-provoking journey, Lamar dismantles the traditional stereotypes of the "alpha male," revealing the profound emotional depth, struggles, and resilience that define men in today's society.

Analyzing the meanings of masculinity in contemporary culture, this book examines specific cultural male icons like Mohammad Ali, Harvey Keitel, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Dan Quayle, and Newt Gingrich and explodes the male stereotypes such as the cowboy, the father, the homosexual, and the Black terror.

Men were designed for this partnership, and once they embrace it they will be awakened to the true purpose of their work - not just a career but a calling.

The idea for this book first arose out of a graduate seminar I was in as a master's student at Georgetown University. In this essay, I describe the reasons I believe that South Korea has such a low birth rate, and why the country is set up in a way that often actively disincentivizes women to participate in the workforce.

In this book, I share how I have applied teachings from my graduate school courses to my everyday life, particularly as they relate to gender relations. Society often expects women to do much of the household work in the domestic sphere, and yet that work is unrecognized, uncompensated, and underappreciated. This book offers a short analysis of the problem, and offers a more scholarly perspective of a pervasive issue.
