Being God's Man in Tough Times (Every Man) [Paperback]

Stephen Arterburn (Author), Kenny Luck (Author), Todd Wendorff (Author)

Book Description

Series: Every Man | Publication Date: July 15, 2003

David was to be the future king of Israel. And yet, as you’ll see firsthand in this compelling Bible study, the journey to that goal was filled with dangers, delays, and difficulties.

Just like David, every man has a dream of who he wants to become. But getting there is a different story. Hardships and losses can destroy the faith–and even the life–of a lesser man.

Many men fail to realize their dreams because they choose comfort over character, image over substance, and escape over endurance. But a man who knows how to embrace hardship and learn to mine it for God’s purposes will see his godly dreams come true.

Hardships are inevitable. Embracing them is a choice. God’s dream for you is at stake. And Being God’s Man…in Tough Times will equip you to overcome life’s difficulties in the power and wisdom of God.

1.0 out of 5 stars Lessons are repetitive and weak., February 22, 2010

This review is from: Being God's Man in Tough Times (Every Man) (Paperback)

I've used this series for about three years for a Rescue Mission discipleship program. I love the series but this book is the weakest by far. The eight lessons are extremely repetitive. The other books have questions that stimulate good discussion of learning applications. That is not true for for "Tough Times".

This review is from: Being God's Man in Tough Times (Every Man) (Paperback)

Our Catholic men's group (Men of Faith) worked through this book. It is excellent. The layout is easy. The questions are tied in with the first book of Samuel. Very strong practical application and great for discussion.
