Description
Men are told they must earn their manhood. Society has dozens of misguided suggestions, from sexual conquest to a big bank account to six-pack abs. Even in churches, men seek self-assurance through spiritual performance. But all these efforts fail because men are trying to win the approval of their peers, wives, fathers, or even God Himself - leaving them isolated, burnt out, and confused.
Would you like to feel secure as a man without competing or pretending? In this book, Jeff Kemp shows you what it means to receive your identity as God's son and learn from Jesus' perfect example of being a man. Jeff encourages you along the way, offering practical advice and transparently sharing his experience as an NFL quarterback, a husband, son, and father. You will see how receiving transforms everything in your life - from finding your purpose to rediscovering deep friendship - and defines what it means to be a real, good man. This is the way of Jesus for men.
