As American culture has been in the throes of a battle for marriage and the family, the churches have not been silent. Pastors and theologians have identified the enemies and alerted the churches. But the need still stands to train men to be biblical singles, biblical husbands, biblical fathers, and biblical older men. We cannot take it for granted that conversion gives a man all he needs to know about manhood, marriage, child raising, and leadership. Sadly, manly churches have allowed the culture to dictate their views of gender, marriage, and the family. We cannot be passive but must become proactive in teaching our people these things. We must be training our men in these areas.

Description

In many churches, confusion about masculinity and the family has been absorbed from the surrounding culture rather than corrected by Scripture. As a result, men are often left without clear formation for their roles as singles, husbands, fathers, and older men. This work calls the church to recover intentional, biblical discipleship of men in every stage of life.

It argues that conversion alone does not automatically produce maturity in manhood or family leadership. Instead, Scripture calls the church to actively train men through teaching, example, and pastoral care so they learn to live faithfully in their distinct callings.

In this book you will find:
• A biblical vision for forming men at every stage of life
• A critique of cultural influence on masculinity in the church
• Guidance for training single men, husbands, fathers, and elders
• A call for intentional pastoral discipleship of men
