This is a book especially directed to men. It is a book about how a man's life may be enriched by many different soulful activities, as well as by reflecting on the words of diverse men and women. This is also a book proving to be of great interest to women as they journey through life alongside their fathers, brothers, husbands, sons, and friends. It is a book of many different stories and tales, told by men and women as they seek to live lives in touch with their hearts and souls.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Book About Men For Everyone, March 4, 2002
By Farion Pearce (Ventura, CA, USA) - See all my reviews
Sisters,
Don't let the title, Men, Meaning and Prayer, mislead you into thinking this is a book for men only. The issues Jeffrey deals with in this book are SOUL issues. It is just that he has accessed the place through himself as a man and through all his vast experience in dealing with the LIFE issues of other men as well.
My husband and I are also Wilderness Guides and have discovered that we humans seem to best be able to reach the depths of our own souls when we first explore who we are as men or women apart from the other sex. The confusion, judgment, and competition of sexual energy is thereby easily escaped and space for clearer self understanding prevails.
This book is one in which to pause and digest as it is read, as the author himself suggests. In stopping to deeply consider the issue discussed, I have more than once discovered healing truths,--gifts from my own soul.
If you want a vehicle to help you hear and hold ALL the pieces of our story as humans, read this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you are committed to discovering yourself........, March 1, 2002
By Michael Edward (Nibley, Utah USA) - See all my reviews
For those truly interested in personal discovery, growth, understanding and a better internal and external life, this is a must read book. The reader will feel the authors passion, pain, joy and commitment to a life full of meaning and value. Shared experiences will connect with all readers at different levels, and quitely encourage deeper exploration into the soul. Whether male, female, an elder or a youth, if you are on a quest for better inner understanding and outer living, you'll benefit from this book. Be prepared to have your inner self stirred and restirred, perhaps leading to personal periods of deep reflection, reevaluation and change if you so allow.

4.0 out of 5 stars This Woman Identifies, February 17, 2002
I keep this book beside my reading chair. The author has respect for all facets of the human heart. He is widely read. It is a treat to follow his quest with him, his quest through books.

He has a unique uinderstanding of nature - both the beauty and the cruelty. This embrace of the whole builds to a message of wonder and hope. .

I identify with Jeffrey Duvall's self-image as a refugee, a seeker who honors ritual, who honors the miracle of a group and its regeneratve powers, and who honors solitude. I can read a few pages of the book every morning as a beautiful meditaion. It is the work of a sincere and generous man.
