Point: Genuine manhood is found in Christ. It is tough, demanding, scarce, and possible through the Gospel.
Path: This short book is divided into four key sections. The authors first highlight genuine manhood through studies of biblical figures such as Adam, Job, David, Solomon, Paul, and Jesus Christ. The second section focuses on a man and his marriage followed by a section directed towards a man and his children. The final section is an encouragement to pastors to model and teach biblical manhood.
Sources: The authors fill their short chapters with biblical references, helpful quotes, and funny illustrations.
Agreement: I appreciate this short plug for biblical and genuine manhood. This is a book that I plan on buying for guys going on our bi-annual man-a-thons. I plan on placing this book in the hands of my brothers. It is not meant to be a definitive guide on manhood, but a signpost to the comprehensive work - God's Word.
Disagreement: There were a few slips and typographical errors (ascribing the book of Jude to Paul, etc.). One could complain about generalizations or shallow treatments, but this is meant to be a booklet, not a treatise.
Personal App: I need to love God, love my wife, love others and lead well. Genuine biblical manhood is not natural nor easy - but it is what God expects of me and can produce in my through the Gospel.
Favorite Quote: "Yes, children need to clean their room, to share with their brother and to stop hitting, but more importantly, they need the Gospel" (98).

In A Guide to Biblical Manhood, Randy Stinson and Dan Dumas say that men need to act like men. "We need men who aren't pre-occupied with their amusements or appearance, but instead are willing and able to take on manly challenges." These manly challenges primarily have to do with leadership, provision, and protection.
The authors apply biblical examples to men's roles within the workplace, home, and church. While I have some small disagreements, the overall message is sound, and the advice is helpful. I particularly enjoyed the sections titled, "Twenty Five Things a Dad Should Teach a Boy" and "Eleven Connecting Points between Baseball, Biblical Masculinity and Godly Character."
The overall theme of this book is that true manhood is about humility and self-sacrifice; we can't be reminded of that enough. But it has been said a lot lately. Biblical manhood and womanhood top the popularity charts among reformed writers. Anything that can be said has been, many times and many ways. This book offers nothing new, nothing that isn't already said in many other books like Richard Phillips' The Masculine Mandate. The strength of this particular book, however, is that it summarizes the others in less than 110 pages. More men are likely to read and benefit from it. And at $5.99, it's not only a bargain, but the right choice.

A readable and practical primer on biblical manhood through the lens of biblical biography. Great read for single or married guys. The latter sections are especially helpful for married men and dads, those looking towards marriage, and pastors wanting to lead their men well. I especially appreciate the action points of these sections.
