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.

Loving others “as Christ has loved you” can be challenging, but if you want to build stronger relationships with God and others, it’s not an option; it’s a must! Jesus teaches us in John 15:10-12 that remaining in His love by loving one another “as He has loved us” releases and increases His joy within us. The joy of the Lord is our strength, therefore, as we continue to grow in the love of Christ we become stronger. The Love Challenge is a tool to help us do just that. The Love Challenge encourages us to be affirmed in the unfailing love of God in spite of our imperfections. It also challenges us to love ourselves Biblically in spite of our imperfections, as well as others in spite of theirs. The Love Challenge also reveals how to build your relationship, be it husband and wife, parent and child, couples engaged and dating, siblings, etc., on the solid foundation of Biblical love. God’s way of loving others is the way to love. His way works. The “21-Day Love Challenge,” takes you and your loved ones on a three-week journey where you pledge to strengthen your relationship by expressing eight attributes of Biblical love from 1 Corinthian 13:4-8 towards yourself, one another, and others each day. Eight is the number of new beginnings. Take your relationship into a new beginning by taking on the love challenge, which is to follow Christ’s example of genuine and mature love. As you put the principles taught in The Love Challenge into practice, you will be walking on the path to new levels of love, joy, spiritual growth, and strength. Are you ready for The Love Challenge?
