The Men We Need: God's Purpose for the Manly Man, the Avid Indoorsman, or Any Man Willing to Show Up

By Brant Hansen

Book Overview

The world needs real men, real bad.

But here's the problem: While we know what men are not supposed to be, it's not clear to us what masculinity looks like when men are at their absolute best.

Into our cultural confusion, Brant Hansen paints a refreshingly specific, compelling picture of what men are designed to be: keepers of the garden. Combining depth and humor, he calls for men of all interests and backgrounds (including avid indoorsmen like himself) to make key decisions to set them apart, including

● protect the vulnerable
● be ambitious about the right things
● choose today who you will become tomorrow
● take responsibility for your own spiritual life

The Men We Need is witty, challenging, bracingly honest, and perfect for any man who wants to know "Why am I here?"--and is ready to show up.

If You'd Really Like to be a Jesus kinda man, digest this deeply

I need this 'NorthStar' perspective for what a truly godly man shoots for. I bet you do too. And the great news is that Brant delivers applicable wisdom in bite-sized morsels, spiced just right with humor and humility. Buy this book, and as soon as you know you like it, buy another one or six and get someone to journey with you. If our churches became populated with this kind of man, marriages, families and communities would become thriving examples of the soul-transformative power of the gospel of Jesus the Christ.
