Get Real: A Spiritual Journey For Men

a spiritual journey for men

Plot

Finally, a book for men's spiritual development that actually starts with Jesus. Not lightly baptized Jungian archetypes. Not secular stereotypes that seek to present Jesus as a "man's man." This is good stuff. -John Ortberg Pastor, Menlo Park Presbyterian Church Author of The Life You've Always Wanted What exactly does it mean to be a Christian in today's world? Particularly, what does it mean to be a Christian man in 21st-century American culture? Derek Maul, an award-winning columnist and men's group leader, explores these questions in Get Real. The emerging 21st-century Christian man is a spiritual adventurer who's unafraid to find strength in community with others, including other men. This man rejects the phony values of society-such as the incessant desire for power, youth, money, cars, gadgets-and finds courage in Jesus' invitation: "Follow me." Maul delivers straight talk to men about faith, family, and desire for God in bite-size sections. He draws on his own experiences, including stories from his weekly men's group called The Men's Room. Every man can have a deeper spiritual life. Find out how to follow Jesus and leave a legacy of faith. A Leader's Guide for a 10-week group study is also available.
