In What the Bible Says About. . . Being a Man, J. Richard Fugate challenges all Christian men to become real men in the full Biblical sense—men who possess mature, masculine, and moral character.
Fugate helps direct the reader onto a path toward balanced, Biblical manhood and sets forth the characteristics God expects from Christian men, such as honesty, courage, loyalty, self-discipline, leadership and above all, godliness.
Fugate believes that too many current Christian books on manhood comply with the secular ideas found in popular psychology; instead of teaching men how to understand and overcome their emasculated, effeminate, and/or macho distortions, he asserts they encourage men to become more womanlike. In this book you will study how the Bible defines true manhood, and how you can overcome any personal, off-balanced training you may have received regarding what a man should be. Fugate will also show how fathers can train their boys to become real men.
Fugate states that over the past several generations, men have lost a great deal of their masculinity. Parenting, marriage, government, business, and church have been damaged as a result. Being a Man investigates this demise and presents the road back to responsible manhood through Biblical principles. What is presented here represents many years of practical experience in, and observation of, men and marriages, as well as hundreds of personal hours in Biblical, historical and philosophical study.
