I've seen a lot of Christian books that talk about issues for men but there hasn't been one that has challenged me in the same way that the book Disciplines of a Godly Man has done. The author Kent Hughes takes men through some of the most popular realms in our lives such as friendships, marriage, fatherhood, work etc to explore how Christian guys should be living. There are plenty of anecdotes and true stories for us to demonstrate the Biblical points that he shares and is a great resource for Mens fellowships or gatherings.
If you are a guy who does not have a Mens group in your church, perhaps it's time for you to start something. The ministry that God places before men is extremely hard and very important in the Church. Without faithful men to carry an example, there will not be good Christian families and the Church's most important "cell group" (families) will be lacking. Men need to overcome the laziness of gathering together and the fear of sharing their own experiences and seek the best for each other. What are you waiting for? Your fellow brothers are waiting for someone to take the initiative. And the Holy Spirit may be saying.. You.
