Synopsis
Christian men, beware: the world wants you for its own. It wants you to choose lust over love, porn over prayer, and the idols of materialism, entertainment, and the flesh over the icons of Christ, his mother, and the saints. It s tempting and easy to be a Man of the World. In his ministry at a major university, Fr. Terence Ehrman has seen and heard it all, helping many young men to deal with the lies and temptations that the world throws their way. And he has a challenge for them and for you: Be a Man of God instead. In Man of God: Lessons to Young Men About Life, Sex, Friendship, Vocation, and Loving with the Heart of Christ, Fr. Ehrman draws on his experiences counseling men who are struggling to live in the world but not be of the world. In the form of emails written to a former student, he offers a plan for ongoing conversion that is both wise and practical, high-minded yet real. Man of God is holy spiritual direction for all men who want to master themselves and be transformed from within; firm and loving guidance to help you reject the world and choose the Kingdom.
