More About the Author

"Dr. Patrick Morley is arguably the world's expert on what makes men tick," Leary Gates, President of the National Coalition of Ministries to Men.
*****
Hi, this is Pat. I invite you to read my devotional posts at www.facebook.com/PatrickMorleyAuthor & follow me @patrickmorley. Here's a little of my background:

I started my career in the highly competitive world of real estate development. In 1986, I started teaching The Man in the Mirror Bible Study which, for the most part, was me sharing my struggles and what the Bible said about them. It resonated with the men. Today we have 5,000 men in the Bible study.

The book The Man in the Mirror was born there. After a VERY slow start, the book went on to help over 3,300,000 men take a deeper look at their lives. It has won some awards and was selected as one of the 100 Christian books that changed the twentieth century. To God be the glory.

Since then I've written a total of 18 books. Frankly, I'm a one trick pony, and men's discipleship is my trick. Even the books I've written for couples have the men in mind. I'm a pretty tireless advocate for men.

You can read the "official bio" at http://www.maninthemirror.org/personalities/patrick-morley-ceo-chairman (or www.tinyurl.com/Morleybio), but I wanted to do a handshake and thank you for considering how my books can help you and the men around you lead a deeper, richer life of meaning and purpose in Christ.

This review is from: The Young Man in the Mirror: A Rite of Passage Into Manhood (Paperback)

<I>The Young Man in the Mirror</I> is a great book written for teen guys ages 13 to 18. The book opens with Morley's life story which ropes the reader from the first paragraph. The author covers morals, dating situations, and other life impacting decisions.

As a 14 year guy, this book encouraged me to be a godly man and leader in this world. Morley used illustrations from his own life as examples of what to do or what not to do. He stated that men want to have a mission in life. If there is no mission, there is no life. God designed men to be protectors. A man cannot be a protector and a jerk at the same time.

Morley is a popular speaker in my area in the Midwest for men's retreats and his books are frequently used in men's Bible studies.<i> The Young Man in the Mirror</i> could be a Bible study opportunity for older men to mentor the next generation.

<I>The Young Man in the Mirror </I>instructs teenage boys how to live honorably. I tend to be a reluctant reader, but didn't have any trouble getting through this book. I passed my copy on to my friend. I recommend The Young Man in the Mirror for all young men and older men who act young. -- <b>Josiah Wells, Christian Book Previews.com</b>

This book was a quick read and full of information on God's path for young men. It served as a tool to deepen my faith and answer some difficult questions that are hard to ask someone in person. This would be a great gift for any teenage guy!

I am a group leader for 10th grade guys and we used this book in Spring 2011 for our main discussion. It is simple to read and understand, but very well thought out. The concepts are foundational and we have had excellent discussions.
