Pastoring Men: What Works, What Doesn't, and Why It Matters Now More Than Ever
Overview
What would happen if every pastor in America shared the vision to disciple every man in his church? No man fails on purpose, yet our culture is suffering from the fallout of the "men problem." Increasingly, men are living autonomous and unexamined lives, getting caught up in the frenzy of life, and becoming satisfied with tasteless and powerless Christianity. Now, more than ever, men need unapologetic guidance and strong discipleship. Here's the place to start.
Pastoring Men will empower you to more effectively disciple the men under your care. Why? Because it demystifies what often seems like an impossible challenge.
In this book, Patrick Morley, Ph.D., rallies pastors to instruct, encourage, correct, challenge, and inspire the men they know. He offers strategic guidance to create an "all-inclusive" ministry to men that lays the groundwork for every man in your church to become a disciple of Jesus.
