About this title

Synopsis

"Men, you need to pick up this book. It's an easy read, common sense, very digestible. Read and discuss it with a few other men - it might just change your life." --Dr. Michael J. Easley, pastor, podcaster, and former president of Moody Bible Institute<br /><br /><br /> Men just get this book. It seems to resonate with them. Men who don't read many books read this one and want to get it into the hands of others. Why? Because Richard Simmons gets it. He understands and identifies the ultimate issue all men face regardless of age, race, or marital status.<br /><br /> Men very often define who they are by what they have done with their lives or other external things. And when they do that, they unknowingly set a trap for failure in their personal lives.<br /><br /> Gathering support from the writings of noted authors and social commentators, Christian and secular, Simmons emphatically reminds us that every man at some point in life suffers misfortune. No one is exempt. However, the challenges of life offer men the potential for great good. In the midst of these struggles, we have the opportunity to see our lives transformed.<br /><br /> The True Measure of a Man is uplifting, challenging, and most of all it points the way to personal and spiritual growth based on the one true measure we were meant to use.<br /><br /> With the free downloadable study guide found on Richard's website, the True Measure book serves as a superb resource for men's groups and church ministries. This book could change your life . . . and perhaps the lives of those closest to you.
