A note from the authors . . .

So often men (entertainers, men in media, restaurant entrepreneurs, pro athletes, politicians, community leaders, country music and gospel artists, prominent pastors, corporate executives and everyday heroes) are misunderstood and stereotyped. Some appear untouchable, unapproachable or isolated from reality. It is our desire to bring to light the side of men that is often unacknowledged or that many desire to see, but don’t always have access to. We are extremely excited about this book project and would appreciate your participation. The book is entitled, “Men, Meals & the Games We Play,” Volume I, it will feature the personal stories of inspiration by men and their recipe of choice. This is an opportunity for men all over the world to share their ingredients to life which helped them over come obstacles to reach various levels of success.

Share with us your stories and/or expressions that will help empower future generations in life, love, business and faith. Help us create a recipe for life to stir up faith and serve a meal for the masses to feed upon for nourishment in mind and spirit. We will add to that your favorite recipe to help fuel our bodies for the daily games of life we all play. Men have a powerful meal to serve to women and our youth for generations to come and “Men, Meals & the Games We Play,” Volume I will help serve that message with a smile!
