The Map to be free from the boring christian-manhood


Being a christian man is not an attractive idea. For outsiders, the idea of manhood, according to the church, is boring, weak, powerless and testosterone free.

I agree.

Too often the ideal of the Christian Man is a lamb who can’t defend himself or his dear ones. A man that, if his wife is about to be abused, will get on his knees, will pray for her, will pray for the abusers, but won’t do a thing to save her.

Let’s say it like it is: That kind of a man isn’t ideal! No wonder why men don’t want to come to church.

This amazing book, written by David Murrox, is about rediscovering real manhood in Christianity. I mean, Jesus was a lamb, but he was also a lion and fought hard when he had to. He screamed, he insulted, he attacked, he roared. He made himself a whip and gave a royal-anger scene getting everybody out of the Temple. He went silent to the cross, but hours before He put on the ground a lot of soldier’s rear ends.

Was Jesus bipolar? No! Was Jesus on crack? Again, no! Was Jesus the real ideal of Christian Man? A big yes!

So how can we reconcile the lambness with the lioness and live our lives like real men? Well… just follow The Map!

A book that is really different and inspiring!
