Good Reads for Guys...



Men in the church today are better resourced than ever before in terms of a plethora of books, study materials, small group resources, training DVDs and all kinds of parachurch ministries to train and equip them. So the issue is not availability but finding the most trusted, biblical resources and then deciding which would work best for you, your men's ministry, or small group.

Below are some books we recommend to help you understand and live out how God has uniquely wired you and called you to be a man of God. 
They offer wisdom, challenge, encouragement and sound applications to help you to live boldly, courageously in light the gospel of God.
