I know, I almoust want to apolpgize.  Dear Lord– do we really need another book for man?

Nope. We need something else. We need permission.

Permision to be what we are– men made in God’s image. Permission to live from the heart and not from the list of “should” and “ought to” that has left so many of us tired and bored.

Most messages for men ultimately fail. The reason is simple: They ignore what is deep and true to a man’s heart, his real passions, andsimply try to shape him up through  various forms of pressure. “This is the man you ought to be. This is what a good husband/father/Christian/churchgoer ought to do”Fill in the blanks from there. He is responsible, sensitive, disciplined, faithful, diligent, dutiful, etc. Many of these are good qualities. That these messengersvare well-intentioned I have no doubt. But the roud to hell, as we remember, is paved with good intentions…
