Synopsis

"Be a Man." Perhaps you've heard these words before. What do they mean? For some, these words mean "don't cry," because real men don't show emotion. Or they might mean "tough it out," because men are to be strong, never weak.

Tom Fortson suggests that these words mean something different, something more. God created man with a unique role, and called them to be sons of the King.  According to Fortson, these truths must define what it means to be a man.

Manhood: Let the Truth be Told walks through a biblical understanding of manhood to clear away the lies and replace them with truth. And with chapters like "Because Forever is a Long Time: The Battle for Eternity" and "Some Days You Wish You Never Left the Office: The Battle for Home,"  this message is not simply food for thought; it is armor for real life.

The time is now for men to be men. Join Fortson today to discover what "be a man" really means.

From the Back Cover

TRUE OR FALSE?

-A guy has to look out for himself
-What's true for you may not be true for me
-My neighbor keeps to himself, so I keep to myself
-Looking ag pornography won't hurt
-Living together before marriage makes sense

Do you agree with any of these statements?  Many American men do--and even among men who follow Jesus, a growing number live by these principles.

So what if we told you these statements are false?

We live in a crisis culture; a land of diversity where truth and morals are relative.  On the outside, this relativity looks like freedom.  But in reality, it keeps us from being the leaders we were meant to be.  It keeps us from the truth.

But if the truth be told--truth as God's Word tells truth--Christian men can find the confidence to obey God and live for others, not just themselves.

Promise Keepers President Tom Fortson speaks boldly in this honest, direct call to men to battle for the truth in every area of their lives.  Find out how to reawaken your passion to serve Jesus, your family, and those around you at work and in the community.  Learning to do so will change not just your own life, but the lives of those around you.
Let the truth be told.
