If ever there was a time we needed men to know their purpose and to be men again, it's now. Our world is filled with great uncertainty and instability and leaders are hard to find. We need men who aren't pre-occupied with their amusements or appearance, but instead are willing and able to take on manly challenges. But it's not enough for men to take up manly activities here and there. We need men with consistent character: integrity, courage, perseverance and a willingness to sacrifice and lead for the greater good. We've written this book, however, with a major distinction from other manhood resources. We're convinced that what we need most are men of God. - Publisher.

Some of the advice here may seem old fashioned, as it is from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, and the authors make no bones about it. But if we are to follow the Bible we must follow all the Bible says, we can't pick and choose. Now, the authors are quick to say that though a husband, a man, should be the leader of the family, see Ephesians 5:22-24, he should also lead in love, see Ephesians 5:25-33. They also note (p. 60) that: "Because, in a fallen world, people who are given authority sometimes believe that they are better than the people they’re leading. In a marriage, a man in his sinfulness can be deluded into thinking that because he’s the leader, he’s better. And so Peter reminds husbands to treat their wives as equals." Further down the authors state (ibid.): "God gives us authority and leadership as men, but it’s not to be used for our own self-aggrandizement; it’s to be used for the good of those we’re serving. That’s why we call it servant leadership and sacrificial leadership. It should be to the point of your own self-neglect; for the good of those you’re leading."
Some good, Bible-based advice for husbands and fathers. ( )
