Men of the Word: Insights for Life from Men Who Walked with God

by Nathan Busenitz, John F. MacArthur, Jr. (Foreword)

What is God’s calling for men? What character qualities does He value? What is biblical manhood, and how is it cultivated? The answers to those all-important questions are found in the lives of men of the Bible―men like Abraham, Joseph, Moses, Joshua, Daniel, and Paul. Every one of them struggled with the same issues faced by men today…which makes them highly relevant role models that define what a real man is from God’s perspective. Readers will discover that real men… This resource is both powerful and down-to-earth practical, providing much-needed clarity and encouragement on the essentials of biblical manhood. Men will find great fulfillment as they pursue all that God desires for them to be.

Solid authors.

I think there's no shortage of books out there that use take qualities from the Biblical casting list to outline what a "real man" should look like, this one really isn't any different. I started reading out of a heart for the subject matter, but also because this is the first book to come out of the John MacArther camp that doesn't attack another pastor, so I found myself intrigued.

Well considered, thorough and challenging

While not that dissimilar from other books of the kind, it covers all necessary ground, is well written, and is readable. Most of all, it is accurate and challenging because it has a sound scriptural basis. As always, what you gain from it is determined by your willingness to apply the truths presented.
