Manufactured Manhood: Beating the Odds Against Destructive Masculine Development

Manufactured Manhood urges men to live by God’s design for the sake of preserving families, marriages, and our future. It gives women a portrait of godly manhood and how it impacts relationships, and it provides hope for the next generation to experience the loving presence and influence of men who find their strength and identity in the Lord.
