Description: When a boy cries, his father trains him in the way of
the ancients. He is taught to ""man up,"" and rejects anything
feminine in his life. Thus he begins the process of becoming a man
in the image of his culture. This transformation comes at the
expense of his own calling to reflect the image of God. Men and
women, however, were both created in this divine image and were
meant to live in harmony rather than enmity. Recently, influential
Christian writers and leaders have suggested that men have become
too feminized and need to return to their calling to be ""real
men."" Clark believes that this ""new masculinity"" is in reality a
return to the way of the ancients. Drawing from his experiences as
a minister, domestic- and sexual- violence prevention advocate, and
community leader, Clark suggests that Jesus came to redefine
masculinity and resist the cultural view of manhood, power, and
oppression. Endorsements: ""Are men to be strong, tough, and
raging? Or compassionate, empathetic, and caring? Ron Clark takes
you through biblical and cultural history, providing a thought
provoking case for what real manhood is. This book will definitely
challenge you to think through whatever paradigms you may have
instead of simply accepting the status quo."" --Eric and Jennifer
Garcia Co-founders of the Association of Marriage and Family
Ministries ""Ron Clark makes a strong, religious case for the
strength in gentleness and humility, and adds an urgently needed
voice to the call for compassion in a world that too often feels
cold and distant."" --Patrick J. Lemmon Co-founder and former
Executive Director of Men Can Stop Rape ""Ron Clark is one of the
leading voices among male clergy in the struggle to end men's
violence against women and children. This book contains all of the
qualities of courageous honesty, wisdom, and humility that make him
such an effective educator and leader. Women and men---nside and
outside of Christian communities--will find great insight and
compassionate teaching in these pages."" --Jackson Katz author of
The Macho Paradox: Why Some Men Hurt Women and How All Men Can Help
