Rate this book
Most men don’t like long, boring books — and this isn’t one of them. This book is a fast, powerful read designed for busy men who want clear direction about manhood, marriage, leadership, fatherhood, and legacy — without the fluff.

Every man feels it — there's a tension deep in his soul. Something still feels off. There’s a voice in the back of his mind that whispers, is this it? Is this all life is supposed to be?

We live in a time when men are falling down. Families are hurting, marriages are struggling, and too many men are drowning in silent battles, unsure of who they are or why they matter. But God has not called you to drift aimlessly through life. He has a mission only you can accomplish.

Change on the Rise is more than just another book on Christian manhood — it’s a call to real biblical manhood in a world that’s lost sight of what it means to be a man. This book will challenge you to step into your real identity — including headship, leadership, and ultimately to take responsibility for your life and family, and to fight for your legacy.

You’ll walk through the five phases of a man’s Discovering Your Identity - Who you are has the power to shape every choice you make, every relationship you build, and the legacy you leave behind.Manhood - Discover what it means to embrace real, biblical manhood by confronting the confusion, imitations and counterfeits the world offers.Love & Marriage - The foundation of relationships is under attack. The world is desperate for men who will take their roles and vows seriously and lead their family with faith.Fatherhood - Your role as a father carries eternal weight and significance. The question is, will you show up?Your Legacy - You can’t control what was handed to you, but you can control what you hand to the next generation. Eternity is listening, what will the echo of your life say?
Each phase has its challenges, but also opportunities to step into the strength, courage, and purpose God designed for you. This book is a challenge — a call to reject the lies of the world, reclaim what is yours, and live a life that matters.

It’s time to fight for your identity, your family, your future, and your legacy. Are you ready?

Insightful, Practical, Biblical
Change on the Rise by Joshua Davis is an insightful book that speaks to men's souls providing a clear path to manhood. The author asks the question, “What does it mean to be a real man?” He then answers that real manhood is “about reflecting Christ.” The rest of the book then teaches the five phases of a man’s life. Those phases include:
1. Phase 1: Your Identity
2. Phase 2: Manhood
3. Phase 3: Love and Marriage
4. Phase 4: Fatherhood
5. Phase 5: Your Legacy

The author writes, “This is for every man who feels lost, stuck, or unsure of his place in the world.” I think that could be said about all men. So, this book has a universal appeal.

The book is well-written, practical, clear, and intelligent. It is filled with biblical references. There is so much truth here that it is hard to absorb it all in one reading. The author has an eloquent, conversational writing style while teaching life-changing insights.

Davis writes from the heart. His story about the death of his friend, Tim, is moving. Tim’s death served as motivation for the author to serve in ministry. This book came from that motivation.
Each chapter ends with “ACTIVATION TIME” which is designed to help you reflect on what you have read in the chapter. There is also “YOU ACTION PLAN” to help you set goals and commit to action. Some chapters even have a “MID-CHAPTER ACTIVATION” where you can take a break and examine your heart.

While I was reading the book, I thought that chapter 3 on “Love and Marriage” was that book’s standout chapter. However, chapter 5 about “Your Legacy” is a peak among mountains.

This book a must-read for men. You will appreciate its straightforward approach and consider it worth the money. I highly recommend.
