Marcus Ryan's Restless Journey: Every Man's Struggle for Significance discusses how when men feel lost, whether or not it's when their life is superb or dismal, it's because they're on a path defined by God. Men need to get in touch with who they are, what their strengths are, and to resist "appetites," such as lust, greed, alcohol, power or money.
Appetites get in the way of having a relationship with God. Life wasn't meant to be easy and having a bad day is all part of God's plan. Ryan's primary theme, secondary to having an established relationship with God, is about "being known." Being known means to connect with other people and to know them and have them know you--deeply and uniquely.
Scripture, comments about God and vignettes about Ryan's life abound, giving food for the soul. An example is, "God will not expose you. Instead he will cover you--fix the breach between you and him--and set you back on a course to a place where you are known."
Ryan writes with excellent metaphorical usage, backed up by scripture and his own interpretations of God to help men on their journey through life.
Armchair Interviews says: A fantastic book that guides men through the complexities and fog of modern life to find their one true path.
