The Every Man

by Stephen F. Arterburn, Fred Stoeker, Mike Yorkey (Contributor)

Are you ready to face life’s tests?God tests a man. Into the flow of everyday life He sends “pop quizzes”–those unexpected trials that show us what we’re made of; that reveal the true quality of our faith and character; that show our willingness to obey Him.Every Man’s Challenge, part of the best-selling Every Man series, will prepare you to obey. It does take guts to stand firm in facing what life throws our way. We need courage to acknowledge our own weaknesses and to change. We need understanding in handling moral dilemmas and family crises. Thankfully, God has given us the strength we need. By His power we can “participate in the divine nature” and triumph over our sins and the temptations and corruption of the world. The forty “exams” in this book, comprised of Scripture, stories, and reflective questions, will give you the necessary tools to draw closer to God and win life’s battles. Used in your devotional times or for personal reflection or group study, you’ll find strength to overcome sexual temptation, learn how to love your wife better, and gain increasing confidence to live as Christ did.In the defining moments of your life, you can obey God and pass the tests that challenge every man.

Reviews

[The Book Man · Rating 5 out of 5]

What is every man's challenge on the other side of purity?
To get out of survival mode and to become a man of VALOR. So stand up and be one you own the field! Who is the devil to think he can come onto your field? Who is he to think he can come into your home? He is like a sophomore; he has no authority there!

P.S: "It is LOVELY to be HOLY!"

I did not enjoy reading this book. I felt like I was being yelled at for such a long section of this book. I admit that men are not perfect, but the authors make it sound like we should get some sort of a lobotomy to 'correct' our failings.

[Frank Emanuel · Rating 1 out of 5]

There are obviously two authors, one I liked the other I couldn't stand. BTW shame is the devil's tool, not God's.

[Daniel · Rating 5 out of 5]

I gave this book a high rating, because the information in the book will challenge a man in his familial relations, in a positive way. Really worth checking out.

[Mazie · Rating 5 out of 5]

I think every woman should read the books that her husband turns to to be a good husband. Insightful.

[Legacy Dad · Rating 3 out of 5]

I thought this was a good follow-up to Every Man's Battle and while some of the information is rehash, it is a good, quick read.
