Break The Silence

Nobody gave men the instructions.
They were handed a picture on the box — what a man is supposed to look like, how he should behave, what he should suppress. But the instructions for what is actually inside him? Never came.
ManTalk: Breaking the Silence gives men the instructions.
Built on thirty years of pastoral ministry, behavioral science, and clinical practice, Dr. Stan Archie introduces the ACE framework — the three predispositions that shape everything a man does. Not flaws to be corrected. Equipment to be understood.
The conversation most men have never had.
Most men have been given a picture on the box their whole lives. A picture of what a man should look like, how he should behave, what he should provide, and what he should suppress. Nobody gave them the instructions.
ManTalk: Breaking the Silence is the book that gives men the instructions.
Built on three decades of pastoral ministry, behavioral science, clinical practice, and community work in Kansas City, Dr. Stan Archie introduces the ACE framework — Aggression, Competitiveness, and Ego — the three testosterone-driven predispositions that shape everything a man does in his marriage, his fatherhood, his workplace, and his faith. These are not flaws to be corrected. They are equipped to be understood.
This book is not therapy. It is not a lecture. It is the honest, direct, man-to-man conversation that most men have never had — and have always needed.
As an author, Dr. Stan Archie draws from over three decades of leadership in ministry, counseling, and community development.

a guide to parenting the whole child and while healing from your parenting wounds
Your child is being formed right now. The only question is — by what?
Parenting on Purpose gives parents a clear, clinically grounded, faith-informed developmental map for raising children through the four critical windows of human formation: Attachment, Exploration, Belonging, and Permanence. Each window opens. Each window closes. What happens inside it shapes who that child becomes — and who they will parent.
