Dare to Be a Man: The Truth Every Man Must Know . . . And Every Woman Needs to Know About Him

by David G. Evans

The bestselling author, television and radio personality, and in-demand speaker, offers insight, enlightenment, and empowerment to men and the women who love them.

What does it mean to be a real man?

Does it mean being the biggest, strongest guy around? The man with the most money, cars, and possessions? The man with the most power and respect? Many men think so. And many women are frustrated as they try to figure out exactly what that means for them and their relationship with those men. But Bishop David Evans is here to tell us something different.

A true man is the man who dares to live up to God?s design . Within every man, there?s a man that God wants to a man of confidence, purpose, strength, destiny, consistency, sensitivity, accountability, and loyalty?who is spiritual and loving. A problem solver and a leader. Within every man is a true identity waiting to be fulfilled. When that true man appears, he?ll realize that responsibility is not something to run from, but rather something to be embraced. He?ll learn that sovereignty can happen only when he becomes obedient to God. He?ll see that his relationship with the family he creates isn?t about limitations, but about freedom. Only when he becomes that true man can he make himself ready for the woman who loves him.

Women have long been misled about what a real man is. Unsure about what to look for and expect in a partner, they have unrealistic expectations and unmet needs. They demand what men can?t and shouldn?t give them, yet don?t allow men to embody the role that God has called them to. In Dare to Be a Man , women learn to identify a man who lives up to God?s design and to foster the spiritual growth of the men in their lives.

With its inspiring and empowering message, as well as practical application, Dare to Be a Man is essential reading for all men and the women who love them.

Dare to Grow in Faith

Dare to be a Man is an excellent 5 star book that speaks to both men and women giving them an understanding of their role as it builds them up as an individual walking with the Lord and giving one conformation in some area already being charged.

I read this book a few years back before I was married. I wanted to know more about what it meant to have a godly husband. Very informative.

Wow, I loved this book. This was not for a review or contest win, but saw it in the library on the shelf near check-out. At first, I was going to walk past the book since it was catered to men, but I was wrong! It allows women to see the man God wants them to be. I will have to buy my copy and bless my future husband with this reading too and discuss it together. Loved it. I highlighted many areas: Dare to have a Vision; spoke on "destiny"; "dreams and visions"; and other great topics that our men need to see and understand such as vulnerability is not a weakness. Additionally, he had the best description on "submission" from a biblical and personal perspective.

This was an incredible reading. At first it was hard for me to grasp because of the writing style. This book IS DIRECTED to men so it was written in more of but and dry style how men like it. However as I persisted I have began to learn of what it means to be man but also from sections that are directed for women only. It describes of how to be a full person in prayer, worship, service to God and each other, in church, work and family relations. Great book for both men and women to read.

This book saved the relationship of a friend of mine. Gets right to the heart of the matter. Answers a ton of real questions. Recommend it to singles, couples, some one in a relationship, coming out of a relationship or thinking about getting inot a relationship.

[Donnie Gamble, Rev, MDiv, DMin]

Covers a lot of territory in the conversation of "Daring to be a Man." The is more to the 'Woman' than to the man; many men I have encountered are more worried about her leaving in a lurch though she always pines' about wanting a real "man," then cannot handle it when he comes into her life.

I thought it was an excellent book. I have used it in our men's study in our congregation.
