The world needs young men to grow up into real men. But here's the problem: young men get so many conflicting messages about what it means to be a man, they find it hard to know what masculinity looks like when men are at their absolute best.

Into this cultural confusion Brant Hansen paints a refreshingly specific, compelling picture of what men are designed to be. Combining depth and humor, he calls for young men of all interests and backgrounds to be ambitious about the right things and to see themselves as protectors and defenders of the vulnerable, with whatever resources they have at their disposal.

The (Young) Men We Need is witty, to the point, bracingly honest, and packed with wisdom. Perfect for any guy age 14 and up who wants to know "Why am I here?"--and is ready to show up. Includes discussion questions.

From the Back Cover

What does it mean to be a real man?

Our culture seems confused about that question and why it even matters. But God has made you for a type of manhood that will not only fulfill you but also benefit everyone around you--if you choose to pursue it. It's not about being athletic or driving a big truck or getting rich (or getting girls). It's much bigger and better than that.

Funny, honest, and packed with wisdom, The (Young) Men We Need gives you a clear vision of what it means to be a man by showing why it's crucial that you

· forsake the fake and relish the real
· protect the vulnerable
· be ambitious about the right things
· make women and children feel safe, not threatened
· choose today who you will become tomorrow
· take responsibility for your own spiritual life

The world is waiting for you to show up and step into God's purpose for you as a man. This book shows you how to get there.
