About this title

About the Author

Clay Boykin is a former United States Marine Corps artillery officer who successfully climbed the corporate ladder all the way to a Park Avenue office. His life took a radical turn in 2007 when chest pains while on vacation led to a mystical experience. Other life challenges ensued and several years later Clay emerged from his dark night of the soul a spirit-centered man. Using his 38 years of business experience and a deeply entrenched servant leadership approach, Clay founded the Men’s Fellowship Network in 2012. He has facilitated hundreds of circles and made long lasting friendships through the fellowship, which has been focused on the overarching theme of male spirituality. In his first book, Clay examines the lessons he and his fellow male seekers have learned from gathering in a trusting and supportive circle of men for several years.
