5.0 out of 5 stars Men - Your Tears From Your Heart Will Save You, July 19, 2002

I know that every man who reads this book will see himself in this book. And I hope that they will pay close attention to this story about a man who learned that he does not have to prove to others that he is good, loving and kind.

Men are traditionally taught to fight the threatening enemies; and place fragile women, who are consumed with despair, into an environment that tells the world that they are materially doing just fine.

What's wrong with this, as the story demonstrates, is that this is done out of allegiance to the world first, as apposed to the man's allegiance to himself, and his family.

He develops emotional, social, and spiritual armor, to the point that he doesn't know who to be fully in the moment, in the presence of others, until the price for living like this potentially costs him the very people who he claims to be providing for.

In this story, the knight learned to take in the reality of life, which led him on a path to find his authentic self. He learned that he had lived his entire life trying to make everyone like him, at the price of not knowing who he himself was, in his heart.

And it was not until he was able to cry tears from his heart, that his armor disappeared, and he was able to go home, and truly love his wife and child.

My daughter first sent this book to me about 7 years ago. I read it almost without putting it down. I have since purchased more than a dozen of these for gifts. From junior high age and older, this is a simply written book about life. If I had the power, I would put Knight in Rusty Armor in every home in the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding story that makes you aware about yourself., September 17, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Knight in Rusty Armor (Paperback)

The books brings to your attention the various armors we carry in our lifes and do not even realize it. To get the best out of it , it must be read more than once. It's easy to read and was written in simple words. Fisher, the author, uses the Merlin to create this awareness about the armors we carry to protect us against others , or to prevent us from getting hurt. Removing your armors will expose the true you...Are you willing to live with that?

I think everyone should read this book, and for the parents ( like myself ), have your kids read it too. There's a lot to learn from it.
