The Quest for Manhood: A Conversation with Author Frank Crallie

Who are you becoming—and what are you building your life upon?

Join Frank Crallie, author of the forthcoming The Quest for Manhood, for a monthly pre-launch conversation about manhood in today’s world.

Every man brings experience worth hearing—lessons learned, responsibilities carried, questions still unanswered. This gathering creates space to share those experiences and consider how we continue to grow as men.

Drawing from the book, we’ll explore trust, courage, humility, integrity, perseverance, and purpose—and what those principles ask of us in our relationships, our work, our families, and the decisions we make each day.

What to expect

• A short reading or idea from the book to open the conversation.
• Guided discussion with room for different experiences and perspectives.
• Practical reflection on how to apply the discussion in everyday life.

You don’t need to have read the book or have everything figured out. Bring your questions, your experience, and a willingness to listen and contribute. You’re welcome to listen until you feel comfortable sharing.

When and where

Our first gathering is Saturday, October 17, 2026, from 8:30–10:00 a.m. We’ll meet on the second Saturday of each month thereafter, beginning November 14, at the same time.

“A man builds himself so he may become useful beyond himself.”
