Every Man, God's Man (Every Man Series) [Paperback]

Book Description

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

Spiritually, men are frustrated today because they feel they are repeatedly coming up short or are in other ways unfulfilled. Like football players in the “red zone,” they are struggling to complete the drive toward integrity and intimacy with God.

That drive toward spiritual maturity requires both a shift of heart and a re-examination of the spiritual habits. What men lack today is, first, clear understanding of what God is really after in the relationship, and second, a clear plan connected to their goals that make sense practically and biblically. That’s what makes this book special: It specifically reveals God’s heart for men in the spiritual “red zone,” and sets forth the choices they must make to take the relationship with God all the way.

Like other books in the “Every Man” Series, Every Man, God’s Man boldly gets into men’s heads and gives hope. It helps them persevere in their pursuit of God. Provides new insight into God’s objectives for them. And brings them to the new place God is calling them–a place of completion in the faith.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Ever since Bill McCartney's "Promise Keepers" fell on hard financial times in the late 1990s, the evangelical men's movement hasn't received much prime-time media coverage. But the movement didn't die or go underground. It's alive and well-and finding expression through the "Every Man" series of books (Every Man's Battle; Every Young Man's Battle; Every Woman's Desire). Authored or co-authored by Arterburn, founder of New Life Ministries, these books have been bestsellers in evangelical Christian circles for more than two years. The first three offered practical help for those struggling with sexual temptation: men, young men and the women who love them. This latest effort is an attempt to cover more ground-to offer guidance in becoming "God's man" in every area of life. Written along with Yorkey and Luck-who works with the men's ministries at Saddleback Church in southern California-this book is not a call for men to "do" more, but to "be" more. In an easy-to-read style, it employs folksy stories, sports similes and biblical proof-texts to help men learn and embrace disciplines like truth-telling, confession and mutual accountability. Sometimes brusque, sometimes compassionate, sometimes shallow, it's almost always insightful and practical.

This review is from: Every Man, God's Man (Every Man Series) (Paperback)

This is the latest book in the every man series. If you are familiar to the series then this book once again does an outstanding job of relating to any man going through their spiritual journey with Christ. If you haven't read a book from the series, get ready for your life to be changed. This book speaks to the hearts of all men. It shows that Confession and taking responsibility are keys to a better relationship with Jesus Christ. This book is all about spiritual integrity and becomming the Christian men that we strive for but sometimes feel we cannot achieve. If you are willing to let your life be changed or need a recommitment to Jesus Christ and serving him with your whole heart then this is definately a must read. I have read many books about Christian living and this one spoke directly to me. I recommend reading the rest of the books in the series if you haven't had a chance to as well.
