Overview

More Than a Million Copies Have Been Sold of this Powerful Book for Men, Now Revised for a New Generation

For forty years, The Measure of a Man has taught hundreds of thousands of men around the world how to live according to God's direction—faithfully, lovingly, and spiritually. Now revised this classic guide to biblical masculinity is poised to impact a new generation of men.

True masculinity is not measured by the strength of a man, but by these twenty biblical guidelines drawn from the Apostle Paul's letters to his young protégés Timothy and Titus. Inspiring, encouraging, and practical, this book shows men how they can reach God's standards as fathers, husbands, and mentors to other men. This updated edition includes QR codes that take the reader to online video resources for further study.
