Fight Like a Man: Redeeming Manhood for Kingdom Warfare [Hardcover]

Gordon Dalbey (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

This book frees a man from the shame of not measuring up, to experience the grace and truth of his true Father God. It's not about how to be a man, but knowing the One who rescues and restores men. The reader is not exhorted to obey, but invited to trust; not commanded to do right, but freed to be real; not warned to be strong, but promised his Father God's strength. It's a life-changing, empowering encounter with the Father we long for.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST READ FOR EVERY MAN IN GOD'S KINGDOM, October 16, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Fight Like a Man: Redeeming Manhood for Kingdom Warfare (Hardcover)

Fight Like A Man is a thought provoking, culture breaking, stereotype changing tool for every man who desires to draw closer to his Heavenly Father and his earthly father. Our manhood is determined by the image we have of our earthly and heavenly fathers. Dalbey helps men understand those images and then leads them in ways to breakdown walls which we have built. A must read for every man who desires to walk in the footsteps Christ intends for him.

Gordon Dalbey's Fight like a Man will help every man understand why he feels the way he feels, and what can be done to overcome. Not only is it brilliantly written, the insights contained in it will uplift and comfort every reader. A must for every man who has felt different and wants victory over his perceived inadequacies. I cannot recommend this book enough.

This review is from: Fight Like a Man: Redeeming Manhood for Kingdom Warfare (Hardcover)

I read all 3 of Gordon Dalbey's books. Brother's in the Lord, I urge you passionately to read them. These books have helped see things about myself that I would never deal with. They get to the core of a man's Spirit. Brother's, are you READY to face yourself? This book from Dalbey will help you see things about yourself. ARE YOU READY? Are you ready to know the one True Commander? It takes courage for a true man to face himself!! Remember, the King of Glory will be by your side as you read and do some serious soul searching. It's time for the true men of God to face their "STUFF" and be the men the Father has called us to be!!
