In this refreshing resource, men discover the goodness of God's design and how to walk in it.

Clearing the confusion surrounding the topic of masculinity, this is also an excellent resource for fathers and pastors who are raising young Christian men.Authentic Masculinity shares the biblical responsibility and freedom of being a man.
