Brian Tome - The Five Marks of a Man: Finding Your Path to Courageous Manhood

For a generation that has not had great role models of what godly men look like, Brians clarion call to live out the five marks of biblical manhood inspires and challenges men to be all God intended so that future generations have men worth following.

As a dad of four (including two teenage boys), I believe it has never been harder to raise young men. We have certain expectations of how our boys should grow into manhood, but they get many conflicting signals from the world around them and can easily feel that no matter what they do they cant ever measure up. Brians insights into the marks of a man are spot on. They challenge me to my core, but nothing great comes easy. I find myself going back to these marks when I am making tough decisions or when my boy impulses might direct me in a way that is contrary to what God would want me to do. The marks are simple, easy to remember, and important, and we need to incorporate them into our lives so that we can be the men God intended us to be.

Contrary to what lots of folks seem to think, adolescence doesnt turn a boy into a man. A real man is far more than a boy with a few years under his belt. Thankfully, in this era of great confusion over what it actually means to be a full-fledged man, Brian Tome has written a helpful, timely, and at times hilarious book. I highly recommend it. Youll find it well worth your time.
