The Christian Man: A Conversation About the 10 Issues Men Say Matter Most

by Patrick Morley

Overview

In The Christian Man, Patrick Morley—bestselling author of The Man in the Mirror—offers men practical ways to deal with life's problems and become the men of God they aspire to be.

No man fails on purpose. Quite the opposite. When our feet hit the floor every morning, we're looking for a win.

But these are turbulent times to be a man. In gathering material for this book, Morley interviewed many men. Their input was powerful. And transparent. They agreed that it's increasingly difficult to juggle all their responsibilities as men, husbands, fathers, friends, workers, churchmen, and citizens.

No one understands what you're going through more than men's expert Patrick Morley, author of the landmark bestseller The Man in the Mirror, which has sold over 4 million copies. And now, Morley has put together a game plan so you can get that win you're looking for. The Christian Man is filled with powerful stories and refreshingly practical answers to questions like:

• How can I lead a more balanced life?
• How can I have a deeper walk with God?
• What makes a great husband?
• How can I become a dad who makes a difference?
• How should I think about my work?
• What's the right way to deal with lust?

By the end of this must-read book, you will know how to intentionally release the power of God on the issues that matter most to you. You'll be able to walk with confidence in the one identity that matters most: The Christian Man.
