Product Description
Only a few years into a career marked by dazzling early success, Tarek Saab s life took a dramatic turn with his selection for Donald Trump s reality show, The Apprentice. Viewers soon noticed something unusual about Tarek. Throughout the chaos and pressure including several boardroom showdowns with Trump Tarek displayed a forgotten kind of manhood. In a new book, he shares his hard-won insights into love, work, and manhood and their source in a faith that is ever old, ever new.
The biggest problem by far facing men in their twenties is the crisis of manhood. Offering a completely new take on the so-called quarter-life crisis, Tarek describes his reluctant confrontation with career, relationships, and spiritual disillusionment and reveals the surprising truths he learned about what it means to be a man.
A distinctly modern-day Confessions, Gut Check is the wry and candid self-examination of a man whose life, despite its extraordinary twists, is full of lessons for ordinary young men. Tarek s captivating tale reveals a young man with many talents and temptations whose saving grace is a relentless pursuit of truth and the daring to be counter-cultural. Gritty, comic, utterly believable Gut Check is not the usual Christian fairy tale.
Gut Check is a manual for manhood lived the hard way. It is a book for men who never read and for men who think they have read it all. If you think you know what you really want, are you ready for a gut check?

 Wonderful Rare Example of Manhood, but book is titled wrong..., 2008-08-21
I read this book after watching Tarek interviewed on "Life on the Rock." I wanted to give it as a college graduation gift but thought I better read it before promoting it. I think the book is wonderful, honest, and a much needed message today, but it should not be limited to "twenty something men." I believe it's content could inspire many men I know of all ages.

Required Reading for Today's Men (Not Just Catholics, either), 2008-07-24
As a man in his 40's, I can say that Tarek Saab has very accurately described the challenges that face men today. More importantly, he has described how to overcome these challenges and find true happiness. And, although the title refers to men in their twenties, this book is applicable to anyone who wants to live a good life. This is a quick and very engaging read. My sixteen yr old son read it before me, and also liked it very much. I am Catholic and Saab's discussion of his faith journey resonated very strongly with me. However, even if you are not Catholic, this book should be very interesting and helpful!!!!!!!

Exceptional, 2008-07-22
This book is outstanding and very timely. In a world which is in dire need of heroes and saints, Tarek's book comes to us as an inspiration to young men to break through the deceitful lures of our modern world and to live out authentic, virtuous manhood. He offers this snapshot of his college and business years and the struggles that came with them, and the battles he describes are all too familiar to so many. This book is a must read for anyone who senses that deep yearning for more than just "business as usual" and the riches of this world, and who strives to be the person God sent them here to be no matter the cost.

GREAT book for any guy in the high school or college years, or even after, 2008-06-18
My mom threw this book on the counter a few weeks ago and said I should read it. So after a week or so I picked it up, and it was hard to put down. Great read, but more importantly, great message. Mr. Saab really does an incredible job of explaining how important priorities are in our lives, and how God needs to be our first priority, always, and his story of how he came to realize this is very interesting, entertaining, and even inspiring. I very highly recommend it; it's one of the best books I've read in a very long time.

 Good stuff for 20 somethings, 2008-06-16
I thought Saab's was a good book about faith and the struggle to find meaning in your 20's. I wish it had been written about 20 years earlier.
