Finally, a book for men's spiritual development that actually starts with Jesus. Not lightly baptized Jungian archetypes. Not secular stereotypes that seek to present Jesus as a "man's man." This is good stuff. --John Ortberg Pastor, Menlo Park Presbyterian Church Author of The Life You've Always Wanted What exactly does it mean to be a Christian in today's world? Particularly, what does it mean to be a Christian man in 21 st -century American culture? Derek Maul, an award-winning columnist and men's group leader, explores these questions in Get Real . The emerging 21 st -century Christian man is a spiritual adventurer who's unafraid to find strength in community with others, including other men. This man rejects the phony values of society--such as the incessant desire for power, youth, money, cars, gadgets--and finds courage in Jesus' "Follow me." Maul delivers straight talk to men about faith, family, and desire for God in bite-size sections. He draws on his own experiences, including stories from his weekly men's group called The Men's Room. Every man can have a deeper spiritual life. Find out how to follow Jesus and leave a legacy of faith.
A very good read. The author is honest and insightful about his own faith journey. It scratches the surface and dives deep in the last few chapters. A great tool for use in developing a personal journey to follow. I would highly recommend this book for men interested in taking the first step in developing a deeper faith life and relationship with Jesus.
Great men's group book!!!! Works to get men talking and discussion their lives and to appreciate each others ideas and thoughts regardless of age or background. Brings men together in fellowship.
