Book Description

Publication Date: July 1, 2006

This is a foundational book for men’s ministry in the context

of the local church. The honesty and veracity with which these

three men map out a successful men’s ministry is very encouraging.

Its theme is “building faithful men” and it targets leaders of

men’s ministry who can then reach the men of their congregations

and neighborhoods for Christ in a very practical and meaningful

way.

From the Back Cover

You’ve got men, you’ve got a church. Add a testimony, some pancakes, a prayer, and—poof!—a men’s ministry. Right?

 

A spiritual reformation of society starts with a spiritual reformation of men. But making disciples—men who are walking with Christ, living like Christ, and working for Christ—is hard.

 

If you’ve been struggling to get traction with men, No Man Left Behind can revolutionize your efforts. Drawing upon thirty years of research and work with more than 2,500 churches, the authors offer a proven strategy that will help you disciple every man in your church. Find out how to:

 

   * Shift your paradigm from a men’s ministry to a ministry to all your men.

   * Identify the unwritten “man code” that your church conveys to every guy who walks in the door.

   * Ensure long-term success by recruiting allies who will work with you to make disciples.

   * Develop a concrete, seamless process to help men who don’t know Christ become passionate disciples.

 

You can reach men.

You can get them to grow closer to Christ.

They can help you change the world.

This book will show you how.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read!!!, November 1, 2006

This review is from: No Man Left Behind: How to Build and Sustain a Thriving, Disciple-Making Ministry for Every Man in Your Church (Hardcover)

I bought this book with the prayer that it would tell our men's ministry leadership team "how to build and sustain a thriving disciple-making ministry for every man in your church." It delivers on its promise.

This book could apply to EVERY ministry within a church, although it focuses on discipleship for men. Every piece of the model the authors discuss - from the platform upon which the ministry rests leadership, a man code, and the Portal Priority (discipleship)), to the engine of vision, create, capture and sustain, and finally the continuum along which men fall in their walk - is explained in great detail.

The authors talk about the philosophy of ministering to men, and provide critical leadership insight. This book has validated our own men's ministry, because both have been prayerfully considered and are Spirit-inspired.

This is a book you don't read...you study it.

Buy this book and implement its precepts in your church. You will change men's lives.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic resource, September 15, 2006

This review is from: No Man Left Behind: How to Build and Sustain a Thriving, Disciple-Making Ministry for Every Man in Your Church (Hardcover)

'No Man Left Behind' is a fantastic resource for any man, pastor, or church that is considering starting or rejuvenating it's men's ministry. 'NMLB' gives a step by step plan to build and sustain a healthy, strong and vibrant men's minstry in the local church.

The read is easy and informative, with relevant stories, charts and examples. 'NMLB' also gives definitions (a whole new way of looking at men's ministry) of various men's ministries that are probably going on in your church today - parking ministry, ushering, greeting, - just to name a few - and ways to incorporate these vital ministries into the men's ministry.

'NMLB' could/should be read by pastors, elders, deacons, and any other man that might even be thinking of starting or reviving their men's ministry. It is also written in a way that could encourage a small group study - prior to beginning a men's ministry.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book and I encourage you to purchase, read and follow through with the time-tested plan for your men's ministry.

This review is from: No Man Left Behind: How to Build and Sustain a Thriving, Disciple-Making Ministry for Every Man in Your Church (Hardcover)

Inspirational. I read this book and received much more insight than I thought that I would get. It's full of biblical passages to back up what is being presented. Great ideas abound throughout! Man-code , who would have thought about that bit of information? Anyway, this is a must read for any men's ministry leader. I highly recommend it.
