Ten Secrets for the Man in the Mirror

by Patrick Morley

Author Patrick Morley challenges men to get beyond the surface happiness and find instead a success that really matters--a success paradoxically rooted in a life of unselfish love, suffering, and sacrifice. You already know that money and stuff won't make you happy, don't you? Are you ready for some reality? Bestselling author Patrick Morley shakes up the existing messages about how men find happiness in this paradigm-busting book. Morley challenges your comfort zone with neglected biblical insights about happiness that many have been afraid to utter in this me-first generation. Ten Secrets for the Man in the Mirror offers life-changing insights about the nature of true happiness and how to attain it. It helps you discover the "blockage points" that can keep you from joy, and it guides you toward success that matters. Concise and engaging, this book is perfect for the on-the-go man in search of a guiding purpose the rat race can't begin to offer. True happiness has everything to do with the kind of man you are and whose man you are.

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.
