What Makes a Man?: Twelve Promises That Will Change Your Life

MEN CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

More than any other thing today, our society needs men who are willing to stand up and make a difference. Men who, having counted the cost, are willing to reflect the character of Jesus Christ in a world of negotiable values, confused identities, and distorted priorities.

But what does it take to be such a man? How does one become fully Christlike and fully masculine? And what does Christlike masculinity look like in such areas as marriage, friendship, family, church, community, business, relationship with God, and personal identity? That's exactly what you'll discover in What Makes a Man?

Based on the book What Makes a Man?, which has benefited thousands of Christian men, this study guide further explores the key areas of responsibility men face. This study will help stimulate lively group discussion as well as clear, practical, application insights.

And most importantly, you'll capture the vision of what you as a man were designed to be. Because when a man decides to make a difference, he becomes a different man.
