Clear, compelling, and applicable, this book equips men to lead, love, protect, and provide in the home, church, and society.
The headlines are clear. The data is mounting. Reality is setting in. Men are at a crisis point, and the effects are felt in our society. Strong men make for good times, but weak men make for difficult times. And if we’re honest, we have to admit that many men today are generally in a place of weakness.
There is no shortage of advice or proposed solutions for a path forward. But much of it is based in self-help, external improvements, and pseudo-masculinity. These kinds of things don’t transform men. We don’t need posturing, pride, or resignation. We need men who are transformed from the inside out. We need boys and young men who understand true manhood, and men who embrace the call to be men of God.
In Strong in the Lord, Jeremy Kimble maps out a path for men to follow toward genuine, godly masculinity. As men embrace the call of biblical manhood, families, churches, and institutions will stand firm and thrive for the glory of God.
