Many books have been written on the contemporary crisis of fatherhood, but most of them treat symptoms without identifying the underlying cause of the disease. In The Only Solution to the Self-Help Problem Roy Metter exposes the root of the crisis as a failure to acknowledge the truth about God and creation which results in man’s failure to live in a right relationship with God and his fellow man. May this book help a multitude of readers to know the truth that sets men free from sin and selfishness to achieve the purpose for which they were created.

Truth does not cover up lies, it exposes them. One of the root causes of the current global criss of faith and morals is the collapse of Christian manhood. In The Only Solution to the Self-Help Problem Roy Metter lays bare the emptiness of the contemporary self-help literature that has led many men to build their lives on a false foundation. With logic and clarity, the author demonstrates that man can only find true happiness by fulfilling the purpose for which he was created, by cooperating with the grace of God in the Catholic Church and following her traditional liturgies and morals. What happens in the sanctuary determines what happens in the world.

Modern Man has lost his roots; he has lost his traditions and culture; and as a result, he has lost his mind. ‘Self-help’ gurus have stepped into fill the void, but their supposed wisdom only goes so far and is lacking in a complete telos. In the book, Roy Metters offers us the solution to the modern self-help fad which has enwrapped the masses, even many Catholics. The true “self-help” plan is a plan of holiness rooted in the Faith of All Time. Roy’s book serves as a great antidote to this distinctly modern problem, and should be required reading.
