As Iron Sharpens Iron: An Adventure in Building Gentlemanly Character

By G. Andrew Meschter

There is a lot of justified concern today about "toxic masculinity". In a time of gender confusion, the #metoo movement, and delayed maturation of youth, delinquent male behavior seems to be all too common. What can be done? Why not resurrect the idea of the GENTLEMAN? This book explores that ideal as refined over millennia by Hebrew mystics, Greek philosophers, Medieval knights, Renaissance courtiers, British educators, and enlightenment-era Americans. The author describes how he learned to incorporate their timeless principles into his own life through a twenty-year process of trial and error. Ultimately, the main thrust is about being as strong and cultivated as possible while always putting others above self-and doing so with style.
