Excerpt

"An effective men's ministry can serve as the vehicle by which men can be evangelized into Christ and the church and then edified into becoming all that God designed them to be. While many churches have a men's group of some sort, these groups do not always enhance the ministry of the church. By whatever name (brotherhood, laymen, men's ministry) they are known, these groups often degenerate into an ineffective bible study, or worse a social club dedicated to "fellowship" through "meeting, eating, and greeting". A men's group dedicated to meals, fishing, and bowling is not likely to be effective in "conforming men to the image of God's son".

An excellent biblically based practical tool for establishing a men's ministry in the local church. An easy to read guidebook for Pastors, other Clergy, and Laymen.

An important and necessary book which examines the glaring need for men to be committed to Christ and His Church and offers exciting new insights for men to become the leaders in the Church and in the world that God wants them to be.

This thought provoking book brings together spiritual wisdom, biblical truth, and practical experience, which is essential for the formation of an effective men's ministry in the local church.
