The Men We Need

The Men We Need: God’s Purpose for the Manly Man, the Avid Indoorsman, or Any Man Willing to Show Up

The world needs real men. While we know what men are not supposed to be, it’s not clear to us what masculinity looks like when men are at their absolute best.

With depth and humor, Brant calls for men of all interests and backgrounds (including avid indoorsmen like himself) 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 book’s short chapters are loaded with must-have wisdom, explaining the essence of masculinity in a fresh, thoughtful, and inspiring way.
