What Others Are Saying About Honor Our Sons

Brad Fittes

“Henry painted a picture of what his behavior looked like before and after his men’s weekend and intensive counseling. He describes how his behavior changed within his marriage, family, and at work, while showing what it looks like to stand down and stand up. Honor Our Sons captures and explores the psychological and social impact of a father’s absence. Through learning about Henry’s uncertainty as a husband and father, he is qualified to explore this topic. As a father, I am aware of the uncertainty of raising a child. Henry does a wonderful job normalizing this uncertainty and provides a path forward.”

Honor Our Sons chronicles Henry’s journey to manhood and how he taught his sons to follow the same path. The lessons are powerful: live a life of integrity, don’t obsess about pleasing others, use difficult situations to work on yourself. Henry has given the rest of us a similar blessing, allowing readers to learn from his example. This is a wonderful gift.”

“I can see how men can find themselves in Henry’s story and be challenged by what he teaches. There are great benefits to Honor Our Sons, and the content is strong! This book takes the reader deeper into the journey of growth in compassion by considering how a man’s inner strength can bless others and how the lack of inner strength can wound others. While reading this book, I gained a clear sense of Henry’s background, concerns, and hopes for his readers. Even more, I felt drawn into the story as I related my own experiences. I invite you to get to know Henry through Honor Our Sons and journey with him into loving your family with purpose and clarity.”

“In this book, Henry talks about how we must become aware of generational patterns so we can identify our tendencies and make intentional choices in light of parental influences. Many of us are not aware that we are people pleasers, nor the harm it does to our families. This book helps readers take a deeper look at themselves and is a call to action, reminding fathers of their crucial role in the family and society. I completely relate to Honor Our Sons! I especially like how Henry talks about the importance of developing self-awareness and the need to be intentional about life. Overall, Henry helped me to learn about detrimental, widespread father absence. Thank you, Henry!”

“Personal, humbling, often emotional, Henry’s story and his vulnerability in Honor Our Sons serves inspiration for men needing to feast on the roles of leader, father, and man. For men seeking to avoid toxic masculinity, Saas offers an appropriate, spiritual, and manly alternative that bonds the father and son, and the whole family (any definition of family). Saas transitions from memoir to practical application and details his plan and choices to host a rite of passage ceremony for his sons that nods to the traditions of Native Americans, ancient cultures, and the military. This book is about the transparency and community men need to become better citizens and to lead the next generation.”
