Real Men Do Cry captures the wisdom of Nehemiah for the twenty-
first century.
Learn how God intervened to restore a remnant of his people in
Israel in the fifth century BC, a time when the nation's existence
had reached a desperation point. God's ways have not changed. He
still acts on behalf of those he is calling to follow him. As an
absolute sovereign, he expects complete obedience to his will.
See how God overruled the dominant powers of that time to
fulfill his purpose in the world. This practice has not changed.
God is still King; however many circumstances and the boasts of the
ungodly may seem to mask that fact.
Understand the true basis for prayer as God's people in any age
relate to their true King and persist in their obedience to
him.
This book is dedicated to the unrelenting pursuit of Biblical truth
concerning our apostolic founders' vision of Christ's interactive,
maturing church. As the early apostles were committed to the
growing-up of each individual disciple of the Body of Christ, so
this book is written to challenge and exhort all believers and
followers of Christ to not settle for the same-old predictable
church style of stale hierarchal leadership with mediocre followers
and results. If the reader would be willing to humble oneself and
dare to become boldly unchained and unafraid of embracing what is
presented in this book, through scriptural truth, then a much
greater understanding of the goals of early Christian discipleship
could be greatly realized for the full stature and steely strength
of united saints in these most desperate of latter times.
John Main (1926-1982), an English Benedictine monk, pioneered the
practice of Christian meditation. His genius was to recover a way
into the contemplative experience for ordinary people within the
Christian tradition. Hailed by Bede Griffiths as the "most
important spiritual guide in the church today, " Main's work
inspired the foundation of the World Community for Christian
Meditation and a network of hundreds of meditation groups around
the world.
John Main introduces the practice of Christian meditation for
modern people who wish to deepen their spiritual lives.
