You've got men, you've got a church. Add a testimony, some pancakes, a prayer, and--poof!--a men's ministry. Right?
Making disciples of men--getting them to walk with Christ, live like Christ, and work for Christ--is hard.
If you've been struggling to get traction with men, this revised and updated edition of No Man Left Behind can revolutionize your efforts. Drawing upon thirty years of research and work with more than 2,500 churches, the authors offer a proven strategy that will help you disciple every man in your church.
No Man Left Behind is the blueprint for growing a thriving men's ministry that has the power to rebuild the church as we know it, pulling men off the couch and into active involvement as part of the body of Christ.
Find out how to:
- Shift your paradigm from a men's ministry to a ministry to all your men
- Identify the unwritten "man code" that your church conveys to every guy who walks in the door
- Develop a concrete, seamless process to help men who don't know Christ become passionate disciples
You can reach men.
You can help them grow closer to Christ.
This book will show you how.
Front Jacket
Many, if not most, of our cultural problems--divorce, abortion, juvenile crime, fatherlessness--can be traced back to the failure of a man. Ironically, it's a man who got up in the morning hoping to succeed.
When you help men develop their roots, you'll find more and more men move beyond being involved in your ministry for what they can get. You'll have men who want to help other men experience what God has done for them.
There are no "Five Easy Steps to an Effective Men's Ministry." There aren't even five hard steps. It just doesn't work that way. We explain "why" and "how" to disciple men, but we don't specify exactly what you should do. Instead, we will help you plan your own concrete next steps according to the culture and needs of your church.
This is our life's work. Helping church leaders disciple men is what we do. We have the privilege of waking up every day focused on how to disciple men in the church--your church. We will be honored if God uses this book to make your efforts more effective and your path a little easier.
--From No Man Left Behind
