Editorial Reviews

“In short chapters on work, integrity, friendship, and other man-topics, Nashville pastor Yawn shows that men can stop pretending to be good—because the cross frees us from self-righteousness.”
—WORLD

“The book offers value in its big picture and it offers value in individual sentences or paragraphs. Some of the best of what Yawn teaches comes in the form of pithy quotes and helpful little phrases…What this book offers is interesting, helpful, mature reflections on what it means to be a man, to be a husband, to be a father.”

“This book is for not only single men, but also married men. I encourage all fathers to read this book; after all, they are responsible for turning boys into real men. As a mother, I enjoyed it, and I learned from it. This is a relevant, timely book.”

“Though the author is very straightforward and makes some hard calls on our lives as men he also effectively uses humor to illustrate his point. Most often these humorous illustrations are taken from his own life which gives the material an endearing effect and helps the reader understand that the material the author is teaching through has been applied to his own life… This book is going to be one that I refer back to, recommend, and give away very often in the future.”
