Christian Web News - At a time when greed and corruption seem to run rampant and morals seem nonexistent, many people wonder where to look for role models.
Brad Sullivan offers a message of hope and a solid plan for men of all ages, as well as anyone who wonders, "what makes a real man?" His new book, Stepping Into Manhood: A Take-Action Handbook for Men (published by AuthorHouse), presents eight values of manhood through the stories of eight men from the Bible. Sullivan, an internationally known pastor, outlines eight critical steps that every man must take to step into manhood. These steps represent eight abilities core to what Sullivan defines as a "real" man--the ability to lead, worship, pray, give, prioritize, protect, fight for beliefs and achieve. Each of these qualities equal one vital step into manhood, and each is showcased by a man from the Bible who Sullivan believes most reflects that quality. The biblical heroes are Joshua, David, Elijah, Abraham, Jesus, Zacharias, Gideon and Paul. Each story includes scripture reference, key definitions, an affirmation and an action section in which readers can identify personal strengths and weakness and make notes. Although the stories are told independently of each other, they form a practical plan of action that is easy to understand and apply. Mobile, Ala., Mayor Samuel Jones writes, "I commend Pastor Sullivan for his very informative and effective writing. I certainly recommend Stepping Into Manhood to all people, especially those men who struggle with discovering their place in this world and beyond." A combination instruction manual and workbook, Stepping Into Manhood can be used for personal or group study, and as a teaching tool for men's ministries, churches and conference settings.
