* Are you so plugged into American culture that your spiritual life is drained of power? Luck helps you disconnect from society's destructive forces and draw from the Holy Spirit! Sharing his own struggle as a tapped-out Christian, he offers practical insights on how to move from the spiritual doldrums to a dynamic life in Christ. 256 pages, softcover from Waterbrook.

Discover the thrilling freedom of living in God’s power

Jesus’ disciples were worried, because soon He would be gone. How would they find the strength to live faithfully for their Master?

Men today face the same dilemma—and have access to the same answer: Spiritual power comes through the Holy Spirit. Yet for many, the gift of the Holy Spirit remains misunderstood, under-appreciated, and under-utilized.

Soar reveals the Holy Spirit afresh for the modern Christian man. Men’s pastor and church leader, Kenny Luck says that the time is ripe for a movement showing the world the supernatural power of God because men are:
  Saying "yes" to the Holy Spirit
  Opening their lives to His work inside of them
  Actively pursuing and partnering with the Holy Spirit
  Releasing powerfully the ministry of the Holy Spirit to a waiting world.

Soar offers a breakthrough encounter with the person and purpose of the Holy Spirit for men weary of bland faith and hungry for gravity-defying freedom that will empower a global advance of the cause of Christ.

Isn’t it time for you to SOAR in the power of God?

Includes a study guide for individual use and small group discussion.

Kenny Luck is the men’s pastor at Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California. He is also the founder and president of Every Man Ministries, which helps churches worldwide develop and grow healthy men’s communities. He is an award-winning author and has authored and coauthored 18 books, including the three previous books in the God’s Man series: Risk, Dream, and Fight.

“Soar offers a timely word for men looking to develop spiritual depth. I strongly encourage men everywhere to allow the guidance of the Holy Spirit, as outlined in this material, to lead them into a powerful, more meaningful relationship in Christ.” — Bishop T.D. Jakes, founder and senior pastor The Potter’s House, Dallas

“In Soar, Kenny Luck tackles one of the greatest topics I believe the Church needs to hear - the value of being surrendered fully to the Lordship of Jesus Christ and to the leading of the Holy Spirit. It is only in living a life fully submitted and committed to God that we can be the reflection of his love and grace to others. And that's huge. I love this quote from Soar: “The Holy Spirit is in you to change the way you think about everything.” I pray you will let God use this book to start making some of those changes.” — Dino Rizzo, lead pastor of Healing Place Church and author of Servolution

“Anytime you can get you can get your hands on a Kenny Luck book you’re in for challenge and change. Soar , the latest addition to Kenny’s series of masculine, streetwise theology, is no different. It’s bold, unvarnished truth about the amazing person and work of the Holy Spirit. Soar gives a fresh perspective on how to understand and assess your relationship and connectedness to the Spirit so you really can enjoy your identity, legacy, and destiny in Christ.” — Dave Brown, director and pastor-at-large Washington (DC) Area Coalition of Men’s Ministries (WACMM)

Kenny Luck's newest release, Soar, is a book for manly men of God. Soar is an impacting and meaningful look at how the Holy Spirit works in men who are devoted to God. Luck uses three sections and seventeen chapters to describe how the Spirit affects men's lives and gives them strength to grow. His focus on the Holy Spirit, instead of God the Father or Jesus the Son, offers new insights into spiritual guidance.

Luck is very strong in every point he makes. Each chapter is dedicated to an idea that shows how men of God can act in accordance with the Holy Spirit. Luck’s style is to talk directly to the reader, and his use of terms like "brotha" and "dude," while cheesy, create a real sense of connection and familiarity. Each chapter is also headed with a quote and a charming story that serves to illustrate the main point he wants to make. They make each chapter interesting and unique. Another plus of his book is that there is a study guide in the back. The guide offers deeper looks into each session and asks probing questions that make the readers think about their own spiritual strength.

The book does have some flaws. Some of the chapters drag on, as though Luck needed to fill space at some points. The grey boxes with big ideas are also a bit of a nuisance. They usually repeat a sentence from the paragraph and don’t provide new insight into his points. Luck also has a bad habit of plugging his other works in the middle of his teachings. Readers can recognize imbedded infomercials when they see them.

Soar is very much a book for the men in any church. It challenges leadership and spiritual manliness. Luck is honest in his critiques of men in the church, but not condescending. He knows what men go through and this book is his attempt to help men through tough situations. I highly recommend his book to anyone who considers himself a man of God. – Todd Naevestad, www.ChristianBookPreviews.com
