A book describing what it really takes for a man to grow into maturity as a follower of Christ. The book is mostly the work of Luck, and it is better written than some of his previous works. This time around he does much better at writing in a clear and understandable way without nodding too much to popular culture but still writing in a way that will not run men off. The book is less about specific challenges and more about the general challenges men face in life-- their propensity toward isolation, unwillingness to open up to a small group of men, bottling, secret sins and their originating influences, and the like. He also addresses how believers ought to be serving God wholeheartedly, the need for prayer, a bit on the work of the Holy Spirit, and so forth. Illustrative stories are presented (more often than, Scripture sadly enough), and direct and challenging applications of the principles are made. The author is Evangelical but few doctrinal peculiarities are stressed. An extremely interpretive Bible version is used when Scripture is quoted, which is too bad. Nevertheless, the book remains one that all men should read, as difficult and as often painful it can be to have to come to grips with many of the practical difficulties in life. *-- book received as part of early review program   hide
