What does it take to be a real man?

You dont have to be perfect to be a man of God. As Dr. Charles Stanley writes, a man of God is a maturing man, a striving man, a knowledgeable man. And the first step in real manhood is spiritual rebirth.

In Man of God, Dr. Stanley asks and answers questions such as these:

What can we learn about manhood from Jesuss example?

How does a true leader allow God to lead him?

Why is a godly man both velvet and steel?

What does it look like to be a provider?

What does it mean to lead with sensitivity?

Man of God will challenge and equip you to become a better leader, teacher, father, and husband. What makes a man? The answer starts here.

Includes study guide for individuals or groups.

STUDY GUIDE

An Eight-Session Group Leaders Guide

GENERAL PREPARATION

Survey the entire text of both the preceding chapters and this study guide. Underline important passages in the text and make notes as you read. Become familiar with the entire study before you begin. A general knowledge of what is coming up later will enable you to conduct each session more effectively and to keep discussion relevant to the subject at hand. If a group member asks a question that will be considered later in the book, postpone discussion until that time.

Keep in mind that the outline for each session assumes that group members are reading the applicable chapter before each class or group meets.

Add to your teaching notes any material and ideas you think important to your group. As leader, your enthusiasm for the subject and your personal interest in those you lead can determine the interest and response of your group.

We recommend that you plan to use some kind of visual aid, even if you merely jot down answers to group questions on a chalkboard, whiteboard, or pad of paper on an easel. This will impress each point on your group. Then make sure all the necessary equipment or material is on hand before group time.

Encourage group members to bring Bibles or New Testaments to the meetings and use them during the group time.

GETTING STARTED RIGHT

Start on time. This is especially important for the first session for two reasons. First, it will set the pattern for the rest of the course. If you begin the first session late, members will have less reason for being on time to the other sessions. Those who are punctual will be robbed of time, and those who are habitually late will come still later next time. Second, the first session should begin promptly because getting acquainted and introducing the book will shorten your study time as it is.

Begin with prayer by asking the Holy Spirit to open hearts and minds, to give understanding, and to apply the truths that will be studied. The Holy Spirit is the great Teacher. No instruction, however orthodox and carefully presented, can be truly Christian or spiritual without His control.

Involve everyone. The suggested plans for each session provide maximum opportunity for participation for members of your class. This is important because:

1. People are usually more interested if they take part.

2. People remember more of what they discuss together than they do of what they are told by a lecturer.

3. People like to help arrive at conclusions and applications. They are more likely to act on truth if they apply it to themselves than if it is applied to them by someone else.

4. To promote relaxed involvement, you may find it wise to:

a. Ask the group to sit in a circle or semicircle. This arrangement makes group members feel more at home. It will also make discussion easier and more relaxed.

b. Remain seated while you teach (unless the group numbers and/or venue require standing).

c. Be relaxed in your own attitude and manner. Remember that the group is not yours, but the Lords, so dont get tense!

d. Use some means to get the group better acquainted, unless everyone already knows one another. At the first meeting or two, each person could wear a large-lettered name tag. Each person might also briefly tell something about himself or herself and perhaps tell what, specifically, he or she expects to get from this study.

ADAPTING THE COURSE

This material is designed for an eight-week discussion group, but it may be readily adapted to different uses. For a twelve-week quarter, some of the chapters (for example: chapters 2, 3, and 6) can be covered in two weeks, and then a week can be allowed for the group to share what theyve gained from the study and what they hope to do differently going forward. For a weekend retreat, ask group members to read the book ahead of time, and then plan eight forty-five-minute (or four ninety-minute) discussion times.

APPENDIX A

Training Principles from Proverbs

In a notebook or journal, summarize the verse in your own words. Study these passages; then in the conclusions section, list the significant observations or guiding principles you see.
