About this ebook

The male is in crisis. Traditional roles once gave men stability and continuity from generation to generation. Today, the world is sending out conflicting signals about what it means to be a man. Many men are questioning who they are and what roles they fulfill in life—as a male, a husband, and a father—leaving them frustrated and causing them to live far below their potential. Best-selling author Dr. Myles Munroe examines cultural attitudes toward men and addresses critical issues such as:

• How can men gain their footing in the ever-shifting environment of cultural expectations?
• What does it mean to be male?
• What definition of masculinity should men adopt?
• What roles should men fulfill-in the workplace and in the home?
• What do gender roles have to do with the male's purpose?
• What are the differences between males and females?
• How are men and women meant to relate to one another?
• How can a man build a better life for himself, his family, and the world?

When men understand the purpose God has given them and the true design of their relationship with women, they will be free to fulfill their destiny and potential. Expanded edition with study guide material included.

Ratings and reviews

Exceptional, the book breaks down fundamentals of being a male Man-spirit ... and shows the importance of having a good personal relationship and the influence that has on the people around you. Personally it has taught me to submit to Christ to be secure about my future. I never relied on material substance to find my self-image.

I loved how it presents the idea of the male man according to the purpose God created him. My standard has been raised in regards to the man I want to spend life with.

Excellent book, what a loss to us loosing pastor Munroe but heaven gained a spiritual warrior to their ranks.
