Overview
Are You Ready to Do Something Extraordinary?Vance Brown believes most men are discouraged. They're worn out and wondering if their best days are behind them. Vance knows the feeling. There was a time he felt more dead than alive, but his friends still believed in him. "Have courage," they urged. "God needs you, here, now . . . this day."That's what this book is about, men who stand up for each other and fight for things that matter. It's about men who fail but get back up and try again. Far from platitudes and pat answers, these are gritty pages that bleed, stories about ordinary men who are doing something extraordinarychoosing to live fully, no matter the cost. Answering this noble call is not easy, but you will never regret it."We were absolutely rocked...by the overwhelming feeling that God is using these pages to awaken something in millions of men who instinctively know they are called to be part of a larger story."from the foreword by Jeff and Shaunti Feldhahn, bestselling authors of For Men Only and For Women OnlyExcellent for Men's GroupsIncludes a Six-Week Study Guide"This is a powerful and passionate book, brutally honest and wonderfully humble. This is going to help a lot of men recover hope and courage. It will draw us together as brothers. And most important, this book will help you find a deeper life in Jesus."John Eldredge, author of Wild at Heart and Beautiful Outlaw"You may desire to be a great businessman, which is a noble goal.

Vance's storytelling and John's golden pen result in a feast of all that is possible when men are willing to admit their need to live honestly before other men. Then men I respect the most desire and live this."Jan Meyers Proett, counselor, speaker, author of The Allure of Hope and Listening to Love"Vance Brown has given us the spiritual weapons we need to become better fathers, husbands, and ministry leaders.
