Nate is the real deal. And if you have a Samson Society in your area, check it out. If you don't, start one. It's one of the best things that has ever happened to me. http://www.samsonsociety.org As a Pirate Monk myself, and a good friend of Nate’s, I can’t commend this book enough. Nate is the real deal.

Every single guy who struggles with lust, powerlessness and bouts of depression about one's standing with God should read this book. It's so honest that it made me cry, about Nate and myself.

Nate is a master storyteller...and the stories are real. The Samson Society is the best way I've found to create true authentic brotherhood. Living this earthly life is not easy and it is not pretty much of the time. I've found brutal honesty among real men of God is the key to making it through the extreme battlefield of life. Yep...the title is different, but I've met some of those 'pirate monks' and the title fits them well! Thanks! I have read the book and highly recommend it for any man who is ready to get real!

Wow. It was really great and I would love to find a meeting like this. Sorry guys, but I find PK stuff to be pretty shallow, just a lot of macho, empty promises and big-name speakers. A lot of Christian things geared for men seem to be more about being manly than being Christ-like (I know how to be a man, that's my problem). Great book, I love the openeness and honesty and have always thought that a good church would look a lot like an AA meeting. Thanks for the review.

I will need to check this out. The shock of finding out about my pastor's adulterous relationship this week has led me to a place where I know I need to deal with even the hints of lustful indulgence in my life. I will look for this one. Michael – thanks for the review. I will need to check this out.
