I've been looking for just this sort of book for some time now. By looking at a series of well-known men of God from the pages of the Bible, Richard Coekin draws many parallels with the struggles of men today who are trying to follow Christ as best they can. The example of these men is a great encouragement, and there are lessons to learn from all of them. The book concludes by drawing together all the characteristics of these men into the man for all men, Jesus. Really thought provoking with questions for quiet time/joint study and practical suggestions for application, this book is a "must" for all men serious about being the man God made us to be.

I've no intention of writing a review, but this has been a brilliant resource for reading through with a group of young Christian men from working class backgrounds with whom I meet to discuss a chapter each week at the pub! Try it yourself!
