In this book, Richard D. Phillips cuts through the cultural confusion, highlights God's calling for men, and encourages readers to join him on a journey of repentance and renewal. Beginning in the Garden of Eden, he draws foundational teaching for men from the earliest chapters of God's Word. Christian men today need to examine their hearts and embrace their God-given role. Only then will they be able to recognise their high calling, and by God's grace, serve faithfully in whatever context God has placed them.
