DESCRIPTION:
Make the man. Play the man. This is more than an audiobook; it's a movement of men who will settle for nothing less than fulfilling their highest calling to be the men and the fathers God has destined them to be.. Mark shares inspiring stories of manhood, including the true story of the hero and martyr Polycarp, who first heard the voice from heaven say, "Play the man". Somewhere along the way, our culture lost its definition of manhood, leaving generations of men and men-to-be confused about their roles, responsibilities, and relationships and the reason God made them men. In this inspiring call to something greater, he helps men understand what it means to be a man of God by unveiling seven virtues of manhood. It's into this "no-man's-land" that New York Times best-selling author Mark Batterson declares his mantra for manhood: Play the man. Mark couples those stories with practical ideas about how to disciple the next generation of men who will put God first, family second, and career third

Adding to the mayhem, more and more kids are growing without a dad (or in some cases even a father figure) to teach them what they need to know, or have someone to cheer them on or coach them. No wonder men in our society are confused and lost when it comes to their roles in society.Mark Batterson arrives with a great book ‘Play . Dave Willis said Every man should read this!. I'm a big fan of Mark Batterson's books! As a pastor, I've stolen (I meanborrowed) countless sermon illustrations from his writings. He infused his books with stellar research, solid Biblical teaching, interesting historical facts to give context to his themes, practical real-life examples and a lot of humor as well. In this book, he outlines a great challenge for men of all ages as well as for those who are raising the next generation of men. As a dad of four boys, this book equipped me with some very solid tools I plan to use with my sons as well as challenges I plan to tackle in my own personal life as well. I believe I'll be a be
