Yes, but I am thinking of something more geared towards the thinking of a college age male. :-D

That's a good one for me. :-D I am looking for something first in the "why" to pray it, then the "how to do it well." He knows the basics but could use something that would attract him to make time to do it.

That looks interesting but still hoping for something that encourages the devotion. Maybe there is something for young adult male spirituality in general?

I don't know, I think stuff written specifically for one demographic is lame,I certainly avoid such stuff.
