Lionhearted: A Man’s Guide to Living Focused, Fulfilled, and Fearless

by David Lindell, Brandon Lindell, Levi Lusko (foreword)

In our age, it's difficult to know what it means to be a man. From internal struggles with fear and distraction to external pressures to hold back essential parts of our masculinity, we often find ourselves in a position of defensiveness, tiptoeing around as we try to do the right and avoid the wrong. This is not an external problem. It's a heart problem. And the condition of a man's heart changes everything.

God calls us to more. We were meant to live fulfilling lives driven by purpose and passion. We were meant to be lionhearted. In this energetic and inspiring book, David and Brandon Lindell of James River Church show you how to shift from operating from a place of uncertainty to actively creating the future you desire, free of struggles and external pressures that hold you back.

It's time to stop living defeated, discouraged, dejected, and disheartened and harness the power you already have to live focused, fulfilled, and fearless. This action-oriented guide will get you there.

I enjoyed the book but I would have added more to it.

Either way, it is motivating. The authors really care about trying to unite the Holy Spirit with the reader. I agree with them on fixing the heart.

They explain why Biblically it’s the heart that needs attention. They show in the Bible where to find the passages.

I do wish it talked more in detail of stories and more examples of how a man should be. This book could easily be a 300 page field guide/start up book to get men to open the Bible again.

Now, I say that because what I would have liked to see a little more in it. It still did motivate me. I felt the need to read and study more of the Bible and to make the needed changes for my family.

Show my kids how a God respecting man leads the family. The authors made a great point that Christians nowadays are NOT the same from the past. We can have the same conviction, we’ve just distanced ourselves from God and His word.

Absolutely worth the read. I purchased it on www.christianbooks.com for a very low price. Was worth it.

"The book Lionhearted by David & Brandon Lindell has inspired & challenged me to be courageous and not shrink back when the enemy throws temptation at me. The book inspires me to guard my heart and find anything in it that is not pleasing to God and get rid of it. This is a book for every man to read. I am reading it again because there is so much to learn."

Many books written by two authors struggle to connect with readers, but Lionhearted blended the writers voices in a way that made each page compelling. I loved the way the chapters were laid out, and the argument was strong. Highly recommended.
