Synopsis: Society is not in good shape and the absence of manly leadership is one of the main contributors to its ill health. Bill Peel attempts to briefly diagnose why a failure of biblical manhood causes so much trouble in the many different spheres of life (individual, marital, familial, communal, and ecclesiastical), and offers a solution based on God’s template for manly responsibility.

Value: Society needs both God-honoring men and women to bring blessing to the world. Peel’s book focuses mainly on men, and if you are one, this resource will open your eyes to your influence on others. It can be a helpful motivator to view your masculinity as a divinely-given responsibility and not just a genetic disposition.
