Coming of Age: Exploring the Spirituality and Identity of Younger Men

by David W. Anderson; Paul G. Hill; Dr. Roland D. Martinson

What is the state of faith today among younger men in the church? How is the church responding to the spiritual
needs of a new generation? Armed with these questions and many more, authors Roland Martinson, Paul
Hill, and David Anderson conducted interviews with young men (ages 18-40) of differing life and faith
experiences, and differing ethnic backgrounds in six regions of the U.S. This new book, Coming of Age,
is based on the results of this study.

Season of Life: a football star, a boy, a journey to manhood

by Jeffrey Marx

From
www.seasonoflife.com:

“More than a quarter-century after they first knew each other as a professional football star and a ball boy for the Baltimore Colts, Joe Ehrmann and Jeffrey Marx once again crossed paths. The outcome was a remarkable journey through the greatest football season of all.  It was really a season of life more than anything else.

Joe was now a white-haired minister who also coached high school football and ran a program called Building
Men for Others. He was changing lives by teaching boys how to be men of substance and impact by focusing
on relationships and a cause beyond themselves.

Jeffrey quickly realized there was much to learn from his old friend. But he never could have foreseen
the gift of his own transformative experience. He never could have imagined that Joe would ultimately
help him open doors to his own Dad.”

No Man Left Behind:  How to Build and Sustain a Thriving,

Disciple Making Ministry for Every Man in Your Church

by  Patrick Morely,  David Delk and Brett Clemmer

You’ve got men, you’ve got a church.  Add a testimony, some pancakes, a prayer, and
—poof!— a men’s ministry. Right?

A spiritual reformation of society starts with a spiritual reformation of men.
But making disciples, men who are walking with Christ, living like Christ, and working for Christ is
hard. If you’ve been struggling to get traction with men, 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.

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.
•  Ensure long-term success by recruiting allies who will work with you to make disciples.
•  Develop a concrete, seamless process to help men who don’t know Christ become passionate
  disciples.
