Over the last four decades, I\u2019ve met one-on-one with thousands of men. Most of them know that Jesus promised \u201ca rich and satisfying life\u201d (John 10:10), but too many are confused about what that looks like. In fact, I\u2019d estimate that 90 percent of Christian men lead lukewarm, stagnant, defeated lives\u2014and they hate it. When men try to put into words what\u2019s holding them back, they invariably describe one or more of these seven symptoms:<\/p>\n
\u2022\u00a0\u201cI just feel like I\u2019m in this thing alone.\u201d
\n\u2022\u00a0\u201cI don\u2019t feel like God cares about me personally\u2014not really.\u201d
\n\u2022\u00a0\u201cI don\u2019t feel like my life has a purpose. In fact, it seems random.\u201d
\n\u2022\u00a0\u201cI have destructive behaviors that keep dragging me down.\u201d
\n\u2022\u00a0\u201cMy soul feels dry.\u201d
\n\u2022\u00a0\u201cMy most important relationships are not working.\u201d
\n\u2022\u00a0\u201cI don\u2019t feel like I\u2019m doing anything that will make a lasting difference.\u201d<\/p>\n
Do you see yourself in these statements? In my experience, these inner aches and pains correspond to seven primal God-given needs that all men feel deeply. And in Man Alive<\/i>, I\u2019ll show you something surprising\u2014God\u2019s plan to harness that raw, restless energy you feel, pull you out of mediocrity, and propel you toward the life you were meant to live. I promise you\u2026there is <\/i>a way. No man should have to settle for half alive. You can become the man God created you to be. You can experience a powerful life transformed by Christ.\u00a0In the book you\u2019re holding, I\u2019ll show you how.<\/p>\n
