The
earthly crisis within manhood will be there until Jesus returns, but in
Christ men are pointed toward the gospel as the vision for renewal. Manhood Restored
by exciting new pastoral voice Eric Mason combines theological depth
with practical insights, putting men in step with a gospel-centered
manhood that will enrich every facet of their lives.
Mason begins
with The Scope of Manhood -- looking first at why God created man, at
the divine differences between man and woman, and what should drive the
purpose of a man during his time on earth.
A section on The
Problems in Manhood analyzes the false icons that lead to cultural
caricatures of men -- the businessman, the thug, the playboy, the
athlete, etc. Mason then makes a connection to the cross-cultural
fatherhood crisis, looking at the things men do to fill the void when
their relationship with dad or God is not there.
Finally, The
Redemption of Manhood sets Jesus as the true standard of biblical
manhood, looking to his perfect example to redeem and restore a man's
life in the areas of sexuality, home, and work.
