Gut Check Author Speaks at CPLC Bishop's Dinner

Posted by T. Saab Media, Inc. in Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX on Apr 07, 2008

Catholic speaker Tarek Saab, former contestant on Season 5 of the Apprentice, and President of T. Saab Media, spoke to 2,075 Catholics from the Diocese of Dallas on Saturday, April 5th, at the 15th Annual Catholic Pro-Life Committee Bishop's Dinner held at the Hilton Anatole. The popular Catholic Speaker is the author of GUT CHECK: Confronting Love, Work, and Manhood In Your Twenties.

"Not every woman who gets an abortion is pro-abortion, in the same way that not every man who sins is pro-sin," said Saab. He went on to say "In our community, in our schools, there are so many young pregnant girls without hope, without faith, and in many cases, without family, who more than anything, simply desire someone to love them; someone to embrace them like a mother would embrace them. These are the daughters of our community, and their children are our children."

After the fund raising appeal, the Catholic speaker signed copies of his book for nearly two hours.

Saab will next travel to Boston for eight speaking  engagements, including a keynote speech at the Boston Catholic Men's Conference. Saab is a client of Catholic Speakers' Bureau CMG Booking.

Book Description

You’re fired!

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?
