Brian Tome, pastor of Crossroads, the fasting growing church in the USA, has written a highly accessible book challenging guys to grow up!
In "The Five Marks of a Man," Tome makes a contrast between men who act and behave like boys and those who seek to live fully as the men God has created. In 24 short, easy to read chapters, Tome describes how men can live with purpose, put others before themselves, carry out their different vocations with integrity and provide protection and care for those around them.
It seems to me that this is a book that is not to be read quickly. Men, you'll be challenged, as you read each chapter, to take inventory of your life. You'll be asking yourself questions like, "Do I always seek the spotlight or do I take great joy in serving others? Am I content to spend an hour in church or do I love the Lord and seek to share this love with others?"
Tome has an engaging style of writing. He gets men. Guys, if you're feeling like you could be a whole lot more than you are, you'll want to read "The Five Marks of a Man."
