If you asked 100 men what they really want out of life, 86 would tell you 'I just want to be happy.' The problem is, most of these guys have no idea how to attain this goal. So they try to achieve happiness through things that make them laugh or feel good . . . things that can't create long-term happiness. If you've been wondering, What will make me happy -- really happy? Then the tapes you now hold in your hand will give you the answers. Patrick Morley helps you discover the 'blockage points' that can keep you from the joy God intends, and he guides you toward success that matters. Gifted at speaking to the gut-level issues men face, Morley sheds light on ten important areas of your Lordship - Balance - Vocation - Suffering - Discipleship - Stewardship - Witnessing - Service - Humor - Love - Ten Secrets for the Man in the Mirror offers life-changing insights in a frank, engaging style. And it's concise enough to listen to on a single plane trip -- perfect for the on-the-go man in search of a guiding purpose the rat race can't begin to offer.
This was a very simple and practical book, that reiterates some important concepts in what it means to be a man of God in today's culture. The 10 secrets weren't really anything new to me, but the author brings up a lot of good, affirmative points with a variety of real-life stories and scenarios. I personally enjoyed his concepts on love; how the person your wife is, is partly your responsibility, and how we love unconditionally, to be loved unconditionally, because God loves unconditionally.
My only critisism is that it is clear the author is a wealthy business man, and as a high school teacher, I personally didn't click with all of his examples (buying a house on the lake, selling a house with a tennis court, etc). That's all good though, just something to be aware of before reading. This book would be a great gift for a business man who is searching for something outside of their small world of work and money.
A good book to encourage men to focus their lives on the ministry opportunities they face every day - family, work, relationships. Men need to quit focusing their lives on what they want, get, deserve, etc., and begin to focus on leading, loving, and equipping their families. This book is a call to do just that.
Excellent scripture references without being excessively scholarly. Focuses on actions.
