Weak men will not be able to handle
the contents o this book.
The Resolution is not or the aint
o heart, and those who commit to it
will be more accountable in the uture.
You will be challenged to get out
o your comort zone, work through
hidden issues rom your past, and make
strategic sacriices or the sake
o your amily and your aith.
But those who step up to the challenge will ind that living out the Resolution
will radically impact their priorities
and assist them in becoming strong
men who are ound aithul.
It will take courage.But it will be worth it all.
You’ve been warned.
