Mans Religion

Written in a warm, personal style, Weber presents the characteristics of tender warriors - including learning to speak the language of women, watching out for what lies ahead, and keeping commitments - in an upfront, straightforward style that challenges readers to realize God's plan for men.

There is a kind of man God uses. He stands tall in the face of giants. He strives to honor God through his life. He is trusting when it seems all hope is lost. And when life is uncertain, he is certain of God's unfailing provision. Battle Ready is for any man who longs to serve God. Inside you'll explore the lives of men who made an impact in their world, including Joshua, who led the Israelites into the Promised Land, and Caleb, who trusted God and not himself for victory in battle.

From the swamplands near Bishopville, South Carolina, come reports of a seven-foot-tall, scaly humanoid creature the locals call the “Lizard Man”. Over the years, the creature has been seen by numerous witnesses, including a teenager who claimed it attacked him one night near a remote area called Scape Ore Swamp. The young man’s testimony and physical evidence was so compelling, it not only launched a serious investigation by the local sheriff’s office, but an all-out monster hunt that drew hundreds of people to the small town.

Only by much searching and minding are gold and diamonds obtained, and man can find every truth connected with his being if he will dig deep into the mind of his soul.... These in essence are the basic truths, the infallible principles, the inspiring precepts by which James Allen has written one of the most influential documents of our age and time, As a Man Thinketh.

When you think of Job, you may think of a hapless victim of unfair treatment. His disastrous circumstances overwhelmed him, his so-called friends belittled him, and his distraught wife discouraged and abandoned him. Even God seemed to desert him. At first glance, Job may not seem like the traditional portrait of a hero, but Job's patience, strength, and dedication in the face of unforeseen suffering makes his story worth knowing. As Swindoll traces Job's life and legacy, he challenges us to apply the lessons Job learned firsthand to our own lives.

Men are told they must earn their manhood. Society has dozens of misguided suggestions and even in churches, men seek self-assurance through spiritual performance. But all these efforts fail because men are trying to win the approval of their peers, wives, fathers, or even God Himself—leaving them isolated, burnt out, and confused. Would you like to feel secure as a man without competing or pretending? In this book, Jeff Kemp shows you what it means to receive your identity as God's son and learn from Jesus' perfect example of being a man.

Two stories of human faith and spiritual renewal set in an isolated, mid-century Irish Catholic fishing village from the author of The Mouse that Roared. THE HANDS OF CORMAC JOYCE Young Jack Joyce prays to have strong hands like his father. But when a storm hits his small island off the coast of Ireland, it’s Jack who must save the family. ★★★★ “A delightful little tale, full of heart. I enjoyed it chiefly for its down-to-earth Irish feel and the wonderful way the sea was described in such thorough and beautiful detail that I could almost taste the salt and feel the spray.”—...

The Bible says the old life is gone and the new life has come (see 2 Cor. 5:17). But we still sin; still get angry, arrogant, and greedy. Sin destroys everything in its path, yet it’s also kind of fun and quite compelling. It often has us holding on to parts of the old life instead of embracing the new life we’ve been promised. Here, Pastor Bob Merritt exposes the inner battle we all fight with sin. He exposes the cycle of failure and loss and shows listeners that no matter how many setbacks they’ve experienced, there is a way to enjoy a new and better life in Christ.

At middle age, John Paine thought he knew what it meant to have a relationship with God. But did he? John's journey into true, mystical intimacy with God began when a neurologist diagnosed him with ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease, and said, "Go home and get your affairs in order." Seventeen years later, John tells his story, recounting the ways God intervened in his life, freeing him from all that prevented intimacy with God, even as John slipped into pain, paralysis, and further toward death.

THE recurrence of a religious note in the verse inspired by the war, in many of the stories and essays, and especially in soldiers’ letters, is due to a closer contact with reality and expresses an enhanced sense of personality. It seems extraordinary only to the spiritually dull. Those who but the other day said that religion was not talked about, except pro¬fessionally by propagandists, must have forgotten their youth. Among those for whom life is still an adventure no important subject is talked about more. We may count out, of course, that mere repetition of news which is hardly talk...

This book seeks to spur you to fast track your spiritual life within 30 days, thus providing a shorter path and in a power-packed way, through personal interaction with God instead of a classical daily devotional that may have you abandon it halfway. It teaches how we should observe the way the revelation of God impacts and changes us, the support, motivation, security, and love we enjoy always from God; the itineraries involved in him doing what we want; why and how he does these things as well.

Sir Philip Sidney was an Elizabethan courtier, statesman, soldier, poet, and patron of scholars and poets. He was famous as the ideal gentleman of his day and a model for subsequent generations until the twentieth century replaced classical education with industrial age expedience. He represents something of what we have lost in modern self-interest. For three centuries, he was considered the most extraordinary man of the English Renaissance. But unfortunately, his legacy has faded from modern prominence. Nevertheless, it is fascinating to peer into the past and discover a singular person ...

In the seventh and eighth centuries AD, armies inspired by the new religion of Islam burst out of Arabia to subjugate the Levant, southwest Asia, North Africa and the Iberian peninsula. These Arab conquests followed immediately after the Prophet Mohammed's death in 632. By this time, against all the odds, he had managed to unite the feuding tribes of Arabia at the point of his sword. The Muslim conquests lasted until 750, by which time several generations of marauding Arab armies had carved out an Islamic empire which, in size and population, rivalled that of Rome at its zenith.

"Two of my greatest fears have always been hearing the words, ‘You have cancer,’ and being falsely accused of a crime. Well, I guess I can scratch two things off my anti-bucket list.” Tim Sharer became a mentor in 1989 when a student leader application literally hit him in the chest, thrown by a youth minister during a church service. Finding contentment and purpose in helping disciple young men, Tim spent the next thirty years building a community of men who continued to support each other, long after they’d moved on to start their families and careers.
