A mans journey and strength is vital to the family and the local church. In The Restored Man, Randy Hemphill provides men with a process for growth with God and others. And it works! I would encourage pastors and churches to use this resource.

former president of the Southern Baptist Convention

Dr. Randy Hemphill understands that God brings lasting change to men from the inside out. The Restored Man offers a process that digs down deep into the soul of a man, exposing sins and the idols of a mans heart. I have found The Restored Man to be an excellent resource for men who desire real change and practical encouragement in becoming men of God.

Buddy Gray, pastor, Hunter Street Baptist

If you are tired of living life behind the shiny paint of your exterior while secretly deteriorating on the inside, I urge you to encounter The Restored Man. You will never be the same.

Dr. Robert Smith Jr., Charles T. Carter Baptist Chair of Divinity,

We cannot afford to look at men as problems that need fixing nor as projects that need to be managed. In The Restored Man, Randy Hemphill comes alongside the reader as a fellow traveler and experienced guide. He sweeps aside the quick fixes and invites us on a journey of spiritual and emotional maturity. This soul-searching process is worth every moment of the journey.

Doug Webster, professor of pastoral theology,
Beeson Divinity School, Samford University

The world needs restored men. Randy Hemphill has walked this journey personally and now offers you the opportunity to do the same. His personal experience of living from a restored heart makes The Restored Man a must-read for men who want to live fully alive.

His profound wisdom and encouraging story of rebuilding a car will surely impact and change the heart of any man who reads it.

Randy Hemphill not only shows us where we should be but he underscores how we can get there. It can be frustrating to be reminded of what we are not and what we should be without the tools and processes to experience change and growth. Thanks, Randy, for showing us how to step into and embrace the foundational pathways to growth and spiritual maturity.

Dr. Crawford W. Loritts Jr., author, speaker, radio host, and
senior pastor, Fellowship Bible Church

The Restored Man is a must-read for men truly desiring to find freedom from the traps of dysfunctional manhood and be ever more formed in the image of Jesus.
