Good Man: An Honest Journey into Discovering Who Men Were Actually Created to Be

One look at our cultural moment and it’s easy to tell that men and their identities are in crisis. Though lost and fractured, men face the pressure to be perfect. Our reactionary society is quick to condemn and slow to forgive, leaving men more confused than ever about how to live and who to be. Yet in Scripture, we continually find God choosing to work in and through flawed, imperfect, and broken individuals. Men who had massive character flaws and significant moral failings, but who also shared one important characteristic: the desire to follow the call of their Creator.

With engaging personal stories and insight into biblical truths, Nathan Clarkson declares to today’s man that he is more than what the culture is telling him he is—angry, selfish, predatory, violent, and bored. Instead, still on the journey himself, Nathan calls today’s man to find his identity in the One who created him on purpose, for a purpose, and encourages him to live an honest, authentic life marked by a winsome combination of confidence and humility.

Nathan Clarkson is an author, actor, indie filmmaker, and artist. The son of bestselling authors Clay and Sally Clarkson, he recently coauthored the Publishers Weekly bestselling book Different: The Story of an Outside-the-Box Kid and the Mom Who Loved Him. He lives in New York and Los Angeles, with frequent stops in his hometown of Monument, Colorado.
