“For a culture deeply confused about manhood, this book is a timely and desperately needed resource. With contributions from a team of trusted pastors, it provides a remarkably comprehensive guide to the whole of a man’s life.”
—Scott Aniol, president, G3 Ministries, professor of pastoral theology, Grace Bible Theological Seminary

“A Christian man has but one ambition—to live all his days in the fear of his God (1 Peter 1:17). . . Here, indeed, is wise pastoral counsel for every man who desires to glorify God in all of life.”
—Stephen Yuille, director of Puritan publishing, Reformation Heritage Books

“‘Man up’ could be a barked command, a disdainful demand, a derisory snort. Not here! Here it is a reasoned, scriptural, affectionate, practical exhortation from men speaking from experience about the various ages and stages of Christian manhood. The contributors look you in the eye, speak from their heart to yours, and show you how men can serve the Lord in our generation.”
—Jeremy Walker, pastor of Maidenbower Baptist Church, Crawley, UK
