Dedication:

I would like to dedicate this book to three important women. For without them I wouldn’t be the Man I am today. My mother Ms. Sherry Davis, my grandmother Ms. Geraldine Edmond (Big Mom) and my late grandmother Ms. Mamie Davis looking down on me from heaven. I love you ladies and thank you for caring for me as a boy as I grew into a Man.

Acknowledgements:

I would like to first thank God for blessing me with the ability to write and sustaining me through many trials and tribulations in my life. Without the creator I am nothing. I would also like to thank anyone who has ever supported me, spoke an encouraging word in my life and sent up a prayer on my behalf. I humbly say thank you all.

Introduction/Synopsis

I was led to write this book out of my own journey through manhood. As I continue on this journey at 38 years old, I realize the impact and influence that society has on men, the ideology of what it is to be a man in a world driven by greed, violence, lust, and so many other pitfalls. There are many dynamics to being a man, but I took the approach to summarize it into five. They are Faith, Family, Business, Love, and Self. I broke it down in dimensions because one of the definitions of dimension according to Merriam-Webster dictionary; is one of the elements or factors making a complete personality or entity. I felt these five all embodied the different stages, or should I say the realities that most men will confront at some point in their lives. I am no expert by any means, but what I do know as a man how I have dealt with these phases of my life and continue to do so. There is no monopoly on being a man, but it is more so a lifelong process that will continue until death. Every man has to deal with them be it a young man, middle age man, or a senior citizen because we are all tied together by the common thread of life. My hope as a man when you read this you gain more insight about yourself and if you are a woman reading you get a better understanding of the man or men in your life. Just know
