How satisfied are you with your life?
Men like you are finding it tougher than ever to be content with
what they have. They compare themselves with others and continually
come up short. The soul-gnawing result is discouragement and
disappointment.
Lasting contentment comes only from a transformation of your mind,
emotions, and will. It also takes a personal encounter with the God
who can make you content.
In "Being God's Man by Finding Contentment, "you will track this
struggle for a new identity through various biblical passages. Like
Jacob, you will not be fully settled and content until you lay to
rest your past and take up a new identity in Christ. Jacob became a
new creature, a man on a mission for the Lord. His struggle was
over. He knew why he was here and what he had to do. His life took
on purpose and meaning that transcended the striving. Yours can,
too.

How to be God's man in relationship with a woman.
Few men would ever embark on an important project, a significant
career change, or a major athletic challenge without gathering all
the tactical knowledge possible to insure a good outcome. Yet, when
it comes to relationships with women, most men fail to apply the
simple principles that make them successful in other areas of life.
It may be easy to get into a relationship with a woman, but it's
not so easy to make the relationship work well. It takes energy. It
demands effort. It requires education and understanding.
God is available to help. But there's a catch: God's man must
connect with God's purposes before he can truly connect with his
wife (or wife-to-be). God uses the marriage relationship to promote
growth in men's lives, because it shows us our character gaps and
drives us to Him for solutions.
If you want true intimacy and connection with a woman, you'll need
to grow up and graduate from God's school of character. This book,
"Being God's Man by Understanding a Woman's Heart, " is the perfect
start.

All men are tempted to compromise. But not all men do. Some have learned the secret of being undivided between what they believe and how they actually think and live.
They possess integrity. They’ve gained new perspectives on the trials and temptations they face, new tools to help them survive automatic human responses to challenging situations, and new actions which produce humility and flexibility in God’s strength. You can be a man of integrity too.
Confession breaks the power of temptation in men of integrity; connection with other men sustains the victory. Being God’s Man…in the Face of Temptation will help you–whether in individual or group study–confront this pervasive problem in God’s wisdom and strength. And begin to live the undivided life.
David was to be the future king of Israel. And yet, as you’ll see firsthand in this compelling Bible study, the journey to that goal was filled with dangers, delays, and difficulties. Just like David, every man has a dream of who he wants to become. But getting there is a different story. Hardships and losses can destroy the faith—and even the life—of a lesser man.
Many men fail to realize their dreams because they choose comfort over character, image over substance, and escape over endurance. But a man who knows how to embrace hardship and learn to mine it for God’s purposes will see his godly dreams come true.
Spiritually, many men are frustrated because they feel they are
repeatedly coming up short or are in other ways unfulfilled. Like
football players in the "red zone," they are struggling to complete
the drive toward integrity and intimacy with God. That drive toward
spiritual maturity requires both a shift of heart and a
re-examination of spiritual habits. What men lack today is, first,
clear understanding of what God is really after in the
relationship, and second, a clear plan connected to their goals
that makes sense practically and biblically. That's what makes this
book special: It specifically reveals God's heart for men in the
spiritual "red zone", and sets forth the choices they must make to
take the relationship with God all the way. Like other books in the
"Every Man" Series, EVERY MAN, GOD'S MAN boldly gets into men's
heads and gives hope. It helps them persevere in their pursuit of
God, provides new insight into God's objectives for them, and
brings them to the new place God is calling them - a place of
completion in the faith.
Since 2008, Northeastern Pennsylvania has been ground zero for
presidential politics, the national media, and, above all, fraud.
Dominating the headlines are stories of greed, controversy,
corruption, and immorality. With so much attention given to the
region in recent years, the inevitable question is: Who and what
defines us? NEPATIZED investigates the most recent scandals in
Northeastern Pennsylvania. With more than 30 interviews with local
politicians, media figures, and activists, this book takes a
critical look at some of the people and events that have redefined
the region. Anti-minority rage, divinely-inspired bigotry, and talk
radio's cacophonous diatribes are all part of what the author calls
"a spectacle of unequivocal idiocy."With wit and intellect, author
Ken Luck's fact-filled expos explores the region through the people
who have helped to mold it: Lackawanna County Recorder of Deeds
Evie Rafalko McNulty, former WILK host Kevin Lynn, filmmaker Josh
Fox ("Gas Land"), political scientist G. Terry Madonna, union
leader Michael Milz, blogger Dan Cheek, and King's College student
Justin Vacula tell in their own words the recent story of
Northeastern Pennsylvania, their grievances against the status quo,
and their roles in making things better.
You've already been set free by Christ.
When are you going to start experiencing that freedom?
What does it look like when a man lives out a truly authentic,
loving walk with Jesus Christ? It looks like freedom.
The Apostle Paul, a man made new by the gospel of Jesus Christ,
presents one of the clearest images of the godly man in action.
He's committed to a life of faith, focused on the Spirit instead of
the flesh, set free to love others. No longer focused on himself,
he demonstrates his faith by serving others. You can be that kind
of man by claiming your freedom in Christ. Being God's man
means""being set free to exemplify Christ's love.
"Being God's Man by Claiming Your Freedom "will stimulate personal
reflection and honest dialogue with God and other men. The goal is
that you will strive to be God's man in every way-"feeling" his
heart for others, and "doing" his will obediently and joyfully.

How to maintain your godly boundaries even under pressure.
When you're faced with an imminent threat, your body releases
adrenaline. Your heart beats faster. Your muscles tense, and all
your senses switch to "Go." But what happens when your spiritual
well-being is under attack? Do you stand strong in your desire to
do God's will...or run for the hills?
The path of faith is tough traveling. Fighting to hold on to God's
purposes under adverse conditions is inconvenient, impractical, and
thoroughly unpredictable. Standing firm under pressure reveals our
true convictions about God, about everything.
In "Being God's Man by Standing Firm Under Pressure "you'll examine
one man-named Daniel-and his band of brothers who demonstrated how
not to compromise under pressure. They didn't let misfortune,
temptation, manipulation, intimidation, or even death shake their
faith into compromise. Instead, they faced each new challenging
circumstance with courage and trust. As God's man, you can, too.

Take up a new calling. Walk a new path. And experience life's
greatest adventure.
Will you discover your true reason for living, enter the battle,
and become a new man in Christ? Or will you settle for less? To
live more purposefully, to experience a full life, to become "more,
"you will have to""become" someone else" and walk a new path.
This kind of attitude is what the Navy Seals look for in a man:
Rogue warriors. Unconventional. Committed. Guys who will do
anything to win the battle and stay true to their new identities.
Walking this new path requires men who won't shrink from the
battle.
In spirit, the Apostle Paul was this kind of a rogue warrior for
God's kingdom. He was tough and uncompromising and he held to a
code that marked his life. He lived on purpose, not by accident. He
surrendered his life and became a support for others. If you choose
to become this kind of man made new, unwilling to compromise, then
let this great apostle lead the way.

You may be single by choice or circumstance. You may plan to marry and have a family, or you may sense a call to lifelong singleness. Even so, your situation is God’s will for you now. What will you do with it? What will you learn from it? And how will you survive the temptations confronting singles in this world?
You know firsthand that single men face unique spiritual and moral struggles. Character is the cornerstone of being God’s man as a single in today’s culture. To live successfully out of a commitment to Christ, you as a single man must master the issues of sexual integrity, isolation, contentment, spiritual battle, and identity in Christ. Being God’s Man…as a Satisfied Single is designed to help you do just that.
“I’ve worked hard to get where I am. I’ve overcome great obstacles. I’ve earned it.” No one had a greater right to say those statements more than King David. He rose from the fields of Palestine to the palace of power and privilege. He’d made it. But now that he was on top, would he continue to grow spiritually in the midst of his success?
Self-sufficiency is a temptation every man faces. But we can’t be both self-sufficient and on the move spiritually at the same time. Just as in David’s life, God often allows us to experience the consequences of self-sufficiency so that we can rediscover our need for his leadership and empowerment in our lives. In the end, the crushing blows we face serve to humble us…and forge the basis for the next wave of spiritual momentum in our lives.
The one BIG question: How do you disciple another man?Men in
thousands of churches across the world know there is more to faith
than just attending church - they know there is the potential to
walk in Christ's image, live in Christ's image, and work to spread
Christ's word. But the one big question they are all asking is how?
The Spirit of God is compelling them to seek the answer. This book
is the gateway to answering that question. The authors spent years
struggling to build a life of meaning before realizing their
depravity and asking the questions: "What does it mean to be a
godly man, and how can I become one?" The Spirit answered by
sending men into their lives to disciple them, not with disdain or
judgment, but with love and compassion, a gospel-centered focus.
These men walked alongside them in the messiness of life, helping
them to apply Biblical truths and spiritual disciplines in a
challenging world. From their own personal journeys, out of the
abyss, the authors have written this book. Here you will learn to:
BUILD a one-on-one relationship CREATE a culture of men who support
each other LOOK TO CHRIST and find what obstacles are blocking you
TRANSFORM your life seeing the Gospel advance through the
discipling of other men. Real-Life Discipleship: The Ordinary Man's
Guide to Disciple-Making offers a gateway from confusion to
clarity, from struggle to transformation.
Overcome giants and experience a life-changing relationship with
Jesus Christ. When it comes to their spiritual journey, many men
feel defeated. Hindered by 'giants' they stand motionless feeling
like wimps instead of warriors. Whether they feel intimidated,
unmotivated, or just downright out of touch with what it means to
pursue a relationship with God, Facing Goliath offers help to every
man who wants to overcome his giants and experience a life-changing
relationship with Jesus Christ. Addressing topics like intellectual
doubt, fear, pride, and selfishness, men will find practical steps
to discovering the answers to questions, of faith, salvation, and
spiritual growth. This discipleship game plan will help men learn
Christian essentials in a way that appeals to those who are seeking
what it means to be a follower of Jesus and those who have already
found Jesus and want to grow.
