The Five Marks of a Man: Finding Your Path to Courageous Manhood (A Practical Book Gift for Christian Husbands and Sons)

What differentiates a boy from a man?

A real man lives intentionally according to a powerful ancient code--the five marks of a man.

A man . . .

● has a vision for his life
● is a team player
● works
● has the courage to take a minority position
● is a protector

This is the primal code that every great man in history has aggressively pursued.

Drawing from his own experience and the lives of others, pastor Brian Tome calls on men to examine themselves and take steps in the direction of the adventure of a fully realized manhood that honors God, respects women, elevates others, and works purposefully for an end greater than their own satisfaction or pleasure.

It's time for men to step into their honorable place in the world and lean into a new reality--one defined by strength, purpose, and honor.

Brian Tome has been leading men for over two decades. Whether it's on an adventure motorcycle over the Rockies or in a boardroom, he knows the power of challenge, brotherhood, and no-nonsense leadership. Brian is a builder who founded and leads Crossroads Church. He's also written five books, hosts The Aggressive Life podcast, and started Man Camp, a primitive weekend camping experience that's driven 20,000 men to reclaim the code of manhood. Brian spends his free time hunting, camping, or rehabbing a 1978 Jeep CJ-7. He lives with his wife, Libby, in Cincinnati.
