Have you stopped by the library lately? I know it seems like most of our books are targeted towards women, but we do have books for you guys too! Check out this one called "Man Alive"!
Here is a summary from the author, Patrick Morley.
"Over the past four decades, I've met one-on-one with thousands of men. Most of them know Jesus promised 'a rich and satisfying life' (John 10:10), but they are confused about what that looks like. In fact, I'd estimate that 90 percent of Christian men lead lukewarm, stagnant, defeated lives-and hate it. When they try to put into words what's holding them back, they invariably describe symptoms like:
-I don't feel like God cares about me personally-not really.
-I have destructive behaviors that keep dragging me down.
-My most important relationships are not working.
-I don't feel like I'm doing anything that will make a difference.
"Do you see yourself in those statements? In my experience, they correspond to God-given needs that all men feel deeply. And in Man Alive, I'll show you something surprising: God's plan to harness that restless energy you feel, pull you out of mediocrity, and propel you toward the life you were meant to live. No man should have to settle for half alive. You can become the man God created you to be. I'll show you how."
