A Good Man Defined: What It Means to Be a Strong, Honorable and Loving Man

When M. David became a father, he knew what he was up against. In a culture of low standards, David was aware that he couldn’t rely on the media or society to instill in his sons the kind of character that makes one a good man, the kind of man any mother would be proud to see her daughter marry. Instead, David would have to rely on what he’d learned about responsibility and integrity—and he would deliberately teach his children everything they’d need in order to grow up to be good men.

A Good Man Defined distills David’s wisdom into a no-nonsense guide to raising sons with strong moral values. It also provides clear indicators of character that women and girls should look for in men. Single mothers especially will benefit from its insight into the particular obstacles our society presents to boys and will appreciate the encouragement to discuss these challenges openly with their children.

Gleaned from David’s musings on sermons, Bible passages, conversations, and his own life, this book will empower you to tackle the tough stuff that boys face and guide your own children on the path of integrity, respect, and care for others.

M. David is an engineer, author, publisher, and father. He and his wife have raised two good men of their own. An introspective observer of life, David has collected what he has learned about good character in men and is sharing it with the world in this book.
