Sweat Blood And Tears

Xan Hood challenges his generation to grow into godly men.

Snips and snails and puppy dog tails might be what little boys are made of, but what makes a man? Or more specifically, what does God use to make a man?

It’s true that becoming a godly man in the 21st century can be a confusing and complicated journey. Author Xan Hood invites readers along for his trip out West, both literally and figuratively. Along the way, he found that God uses three intentional elements to make a man – sweat, blood, and tears. With searing honesty, Hood shares his experiences with God and men and paint and trout and fashion and hunting. These characters help craft his story, his ongoing story of the making of a man.
