I couldn't resist, I had to buy The Three Marks of Manhood: How to be Priest, Prophet and King of Your Family
for my Kindle. I had linked to the book as part of a blog post about a YouTube clip on Masculinity. The book piqued my interest and after reading the sample, I thought what the heck and bought it.
It's not very often that books make me laugh out loud, but this one did. After talking about the need for a resurrection of true Christian patriarchy (where the husband is the priest, prophet and king for his family), the author states:
Sounds hopeless, really ... except that with God, nothing is impossible.
I'm sure the beginning of this outpouring of grace is the book itself. So, people, men in particular, if you buy this book, consider yourself prompted by grace!

After talking about the need for a resurrection of true Christian patriarchy (where the husband is the priest, prophet and king for his family), the author states:
Yet never before has there been a generation of men so unsuited to the establishing of an authentic Christian patriarchy. The Western male in particular, the erstwhile head of Christian culture, is found to have pawned his patriarchy for pleasure. He is thoroughly inculcated in the values of extended adolescence, and even where he rejects certain extremes of "playboyism", he has nonetheless, as a whole, acquiesced to the assaults of an hedonistic, immodest, and pornographic society; to the dominating search for pleasure and entertainment; to the beckon of a consumeristic society and the sophisticated toys it proffers; to contracepting his seed; and to the shirking of his duty to lead, protect, and provide for the family.
Sounds hopeless, really ... except that with God, nothing is impossible.
Yes, it is precisely because there has never been a time so desperately in need of men able to answer the call to Christian patriarchy, nor a time when there has been such an unsuitable selection of these men, that Christians may justifiable expect an unparalleled outpouring of God's miraculous grace and favor on Christian manhood, and on the family he is called to lead.
I'm sure the beginning of this outpouring of grace is the book itself. So, people, men in particular, if you buy this book, consider yourself prompted by grace!
