The Masculine Mandate: God’s Calling to Men

Author: Richard D. Phillips
Publisher: Orlando: Reformation Trust, 2010, 154 pages
Category: Purpose, Family, Church

Synopsis: Richard Phillips turns the reader’s attention to Genesis 1-4 to discover why men exist, what their purpose is on this earth, how that purpose is thwarted because of sin, and what a God-designed man looks like in all of his functions (singleness, marriage, parenting, church, work, etc.) today.

Value: Phillips’ book provides a basic overview of what manhood is according to God’s original design. This resource can turn your attention to God’s Word and provide a helpful foundation for further study. His argument is simple and short, but essential to grasp before.
