The male is in crisis. Traditional roles once gave men stability and continuity from generation to generation. Today, the world is sending out conflicting signals about what it means to be a man. Many men are questioning who they are and what roles they fulfill in life---as men, fathers, and husbands. This uncertainty is disrupting their personal and professional lives, leaving them frustrated and causing them to live far below their potential. Munroe examines cultural attitudes toward men and discusses the purpose God has given them. Discover the destiny and potential of the man as he was meant to be!

The Body of Christ here in America have lost this type of teaching for a long time...the Bible mentions "Older men teach the younger men" and this has failed tremendously but now the Holy Spirit is being heard and restoration is beginning...This is an excellent resource tool for raise up men from different generations of who they are and what their purposes are and to know God the Father and His plan for the Kingdom. This is a very vital resource that needs to be in every man's life and lived in front of them.

I give this book a 5 stars. This book gives a fresh biblical perspective of what men are called to do 2000 years ago. God's word hasn't change, he is the same yesterday, today and forever. Therefore, I appreciate the fact that he point me back to the "manufacturers' handbook", the Bible. Highly recommended for anyone looking for directions in their lives.

I give it a C-.
I do not believe Dr Munroe has a very clear picture of the true nature of men (or women, or the church for that matter.) At one point, he makes the claim that there are more women in church than men because, “…they [women] don’t have anything to help with at home.” “Do you know why your wife leaves you to go to church?” he goes on to ask. “You [men] don’t have any vision in the home, so she goes to church and helps this minister with his vision.”
While I believe there is a strong impulse in women to “help”, I don’t see where it applies in this situation. Instead of asking why the woman goes to church, why did he not ask why the man stays at home?
Much of the book is okay. Unfortunately, even where it makes sense, it lacks the creative luster, or depth of deliberation to make it thought provoking or memorable. Life is short and books are many—this one is not worth spending time on.
Anyone wanting to understand men and their relationships would do better to read books such as WHY MEN HATE CHURCH and WILD AT HEART.

This book is really awesome and should be read by everyone. If you are struggling with what it means to be a man or don't know how to be the husband you should be this book is a must. It really helps to understand how God created man and why and what is his duties. I am really honored to be a man and see that it is quite an honor to be called a man.

This book does an awesome job of explaining the purpose and reasons for men. It is also a great way to strengthen yourself for a marriage or to grow in your current marriage. Dr. Munroe does a great job of keeping the reader interested from start to finish!
