Description

This book is about men, manhood, and masculinity. It is not intended to be slight to women. Today, masculinity takes a bad rap. Forces proven successful in destroying the family are now marshaling against the foundations of manhood. My purpose is to draw men back to a traditional, biblical understanding of their role as protector, provider, and patriarch of the home in obedience to Paul's command to, "Act like men, [and] be strong," (1st Corinthians 16:13). Examples of how far we have fallen from the traditional model are taken from the historical record and also seen through the lens of movies and television. Abundant biblical illustrations along with personal lifetime experiences are used in testimony. As the American population continues to urbanize, this message is both to the culture and to the church that seems intent on identifying with it. My hope is that both will examine where they were, where they are, and where they should be, and make necessary course corrections before the inevitable shipwreck. This book is a clarion call, a tocsin, that, if heard, will help bring renewal to this great land before it is completely lost to the religion of secularism.
