One reason men lack vision is because they lack poetry in their lives. Men on longer sing or recite inspirational verse. Boys are no longer required to memorize the great psalms, hymns, and poems of Christian manhood. In answer to this dilemma, Doug Phillips has in Poems for Patriarchs compiled an inspiring collection of vision-communicating poems and prose--some new, some ancient, but all chosen to address the various biblical roles, relationships and seasons in a man's life. Featuring such classics as "King Alfred's War Song" and "Woodman Spare that Tree," Poems for Patriarchs offers manly verse for men who seek a greater vision for their lives.
