Synopsis

Navigating manhood comes with questions. God's Word has the answers.

The questions guys have about manhood may be new, but it turns out that the greatest secrets to staying on the right road have always been found in the Bible. “Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls” (Jeremiah 6:16). Tim and Mark Shoemaker look to Scripture—and weave in years of experience working with students and young men—to bring answers. They’ll hit topics like Manhood, Dating, Spiritual Life, Five Things Every Christian Young Man Needs, Technology, Porn, Emotions, and more.

In this book, you’ll discover God’s design and purpose for your life—and find answers to tough questions, like:

• How is God’s purpose for manhood different from culture?
• Is masculinity toxic?
• Is it essential to go to church? Can I just listen online?
• If there’s one thing I really need to know about dating, what is it?
• How far can my girlfriend and I go physically?
• What do I do with my phone addiction?
• Can I overcome my fears?
• Male and female. Is it possible for identity to be fluid—or to change?
• How do I stop going back to porn?
• How do I make sure I’m making the right decisions?
• My spiritual life is dry. How do I escape the desert?

These questions and over 50 more are answered in this biblical guidebook. Join this father-and-son team on a journey to discovering how to become the man God designed you to be.

This book makes an excellent gift for the young men in your life.
